Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy Overview

Free Government Tablet (freetabletsgovt.com) is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

This website is designed as an educational resource to help consumers understand government device assistance programs. We prioritize your privacy by minimizing data collection and ensuring that our interactive tools work entirely in your browser without sending personal information to our servers.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

• Contact Forms: If you choose to contact us through our contact form, we may collect your name, email address, and message content.
• Community Help Board: Posts submitted to our community help board are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Information Collected Automatically

• Server Logs: Our hosting provider may collect standard server log information including IP addresses, browser types, referring pages, and timestamps.
• Cookies and Local Storage: We use localStorage for functionality like the community help board and user preferences. No tracking cookies are used.
• Analytics: We may implement basic analytics in the future, but any such implementation will be privacy-focused and opt-in only.

Interactive Tools

Our eligibility checker, micro-quiz, and subsidy calculator tools are designed to process all information locally in your browser. Your answers and personal information entered into these tools are not transmitted to our servers or stored permanently.

How We Use Your Information

• To Provide Services: Respond to your inquiries and provide the educational content and tools you request.
• To Improve Our Website: Analyze usage patterns to improve user experience and content quality.
• To Communicate: Send responses to your questions or provide updates about government programs if you request them.
• Legal Compliance: Comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties except in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and providing services, subject to confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government regulation.
• Protection of Rights: We may disclose information to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not share personal information with government agencies unless required by law or with your explicit consent for program applications.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Since most of our interactive tools work locally in your browser, the primary security risk involves the contact forms and any data you choose to share directly with us.

Data Retention

• Contact Information: We retain contact form submissions for up to 2 years for customer service and improvement purposes.
• Local Storage Data: Data stored in your browser's localStorage (like community help board posts) remains until you clear your browser data.
• Server Logs: Server logs are typically retained for 30-90 days by our hosting provider.

Your Rights and Choices

Access and Control

• Access: You can request access to personal information we have collected about you.
• Correction: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: You can request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal requirements.
• Opt-out: You can unsubscribe from any communications at any time.

Browser Controls

• Local Storage: You can clear localStorage data through your browser settings.
• Cookies: While we don't use tracking cookies, you can control cookie settings in your browser.
• Do Not Track: We respect Do Not Track signals where supported by browsers.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.

International Data Transfers
