Privacy Policy for Cleartools.net & GAT Prep Bot
Last Updated: April 6, 2026
1. Introduction
Cleartools.net (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect and use data across our website and our Telegram Mini App (GAT Prep Bot).
2. Data We Collect
- On our Website: We collect standard log data (IP addresses, browser type) and information provided via comments.
- On our Telegram Mini App: We collect your Telegram User ID and First Name. This is used solely to save your quiz progress, track your “AI Credits,” and identify your account. We do not access your private messages or phone number.
3. Advertising Partners
To keep our services free for students, we work with two advertising partners:
- Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to serve ads on our main website. Google uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
- Opt-out: You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.
- Adsgram: Our Telegram Mini App uses the Adsgram network to show “Rewarded Video” ads. When you watch a video to earn study credits, Adsgram may collect anonymized device identifiers and IP addresses to verify ad completion and prevent fraud.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
- Cookies: Used by Google AdSense on our website to personalize your experience.
- Local Storage: Our Telegram Mini App uses your device’s “Local Storage” to remember your current quiz score and credit balance so you don’t lose progress if the app closes.
5. Data Retention & Your Rights
- We retain your quiz scores and credits as long as you use the bot.
- You have the right to request a copy of the data we hold or ask for its permanent deletion. Since we use Telegram IDs, deleting the bot and clearing your cache will effectively remove most local data.
6. Third-Party Links
Our GAT preparation materials may contain links to external educational resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites.
