This Privacy Policy explains how Danemathics (danemathics.com) collects, uses and protects information when you use this website. Danemathics is a free educational resource for South African learners; we aim to collect as little personal information as possible.
Information we collect
You can browse and download every resource on this site without creating an account. We do not ask for your name, email address or any personal details in order to use the site. The only information collected is:
- Usage data — standard technical information such as your browser type, device type, approximate location (country/city level), pages visited and time spent on the site, collected through Google Analytics.
- Advertising data — cookies and similar technologies used by Google AdSense to serve and measure advertisements (see below).
- Information you send us — if you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. It is used only to reply to you.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
This site is supported by advertising served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
For more detail on how Google uses data when you use partner sites, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand which resources are most useful — for example, which grade's papers are downloaded most — so we can prioritise what to add next. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This site does not set its own tracking cookies; the cookies in use come from the third-party services described above (Google AdSense and Google Analytics). You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time — the site will continue to work normally.
Children's privacy
This site is designed for high school learners as well as their teachers and parents. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone — child or adult — beyond the anonymous usage data described above. Learners never need to register, log in or submit personal details to use any resource on this site.
File downloads and external links
Question papers, memos and worksheets are hosted on secure cloud storage (Vercel). Downloading a file does not require or transmit any personal information. The site also links to external services such as YouTube and Ko-fi; once you leave danemathics.com, the privacy policy of the destination site applies.
Your rights
In line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and similar laws, you may ask us what information we hold about you (in almost all cases: none beyond an email you sent us) and ask for it to be corrected or deleted. Email us at [email protected] for any privacy request.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
