DigiFlop ("DigiFlop", "we", "us", or "our") is an educational website at digiflop.com that teaches chip design (ASIC / VLSI) concepts. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to digiflop.com and its associated pages, including the Concept Library, Flow Stages, Verilog Exercises, Interview Questions, Debug Guides, and Courses.
Information We Collect
Account information. If you register for a course or create an account, we collect your name, email address, and a securely hashed password. We do not store plaintext passwords.
Payment information. Paid courses are processed through Razorpay, a third-party payment gateway. DigiFlop does not receive or store your full card, UPI, or bank details -- Razorpay handles that data directly under its own privacy and security policies.
Contact and correspondence. If you email us or use a contact form, we collect whatever information you choose to share, such as your name, email address, and message content.
Usage data. Like most websites, our server automatically logs standard technical information when you visit -- your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and timestamps. This helps us keep the site running and understand which content is useful.
Cookies and similar technologies. We and our third-party partners (see below) use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure site usage, and serve relevant ads.

How We Use Information
We use the information above to: operate and maintain the site; provide access to courses and track your progress; process payments and send order confirmations; respond to support requests; monitor and improve site performance and content; detect and prevent abuse; and, where applicable, display relevant advertising.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for essential site functionality (such as keeping you signed in to your course dashboard) and, via Google AdSense, for advertising purposes. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect features like staying logged in to a course.
Third-Party Services
We share limited data with the following categories of third parties, each governed by their own privacy policies:
Google AdSense -- ad serving and measurement.
Razorpay -- payment processing for paid courses.
Our hosting provider -- stores site files and server logs necessary to operate digiflop.com.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Data Retention
We retain account information for as long as your account is active, and server logs for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes. You may request deletion of your account data at any time (see "Your Rights" below).
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us at admin@digiflop.com and we will respond as soon as we reasonably can.
Children's Privacy
DigiFlop is intended for a general audience interested in learning chip design and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including password hashing and using established third parties (Razorpay, Google) for sensitive processing. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the site or applicable law. We'll update the "Effective date" above when we do. Continued use of digiflop.com after a change means you accept the updated policy.
