Accessing affiliated digital platforms that explicitly reference this Privacy Policy.
Using our services, including app reviews, software recommendations, and technology-related content.

User Consent

By accessing or interacting with Strovik’s website, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to the guidelines set forth in this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of our platform also constitutes consent to our Terms of Use, which can be reviewed at https://strovik.com/terms/.

I. Data Collection Practices

At Strovik, we prioritize transparency and accountability in how we collect, process, and use user data. Our approach to data collection follows three primary methods: information voluntarily provided by users, technical data gathered automatically, and data obtained from external sources. Below is an outline of these collection methods and their intended purposes.

A. INFORMATION DIRECTLY COLLECTED FROM YOU

Most sections of Strovik’s website are accessible without requiring users to submit personal information. However, certain features, premium content, or restricted sections may require users to register an account, which involves sharing personally identifiable information (PII). This may include:

Full Name – Used for identity verification and to personalize the user experience.
Email Address – Required for account verification, communication, and platform updates.
Phone Number – May be requested for security verification or direct customer support.
Mailing or Physical Address – Collected only if needed for specific services or location-based personalization.

The collection of this information serves the following key purposes:

User Authentication and Security – Ensuring that registered accounts belong to legitimate individuals or entities.
Personalized Content and Recommendations – Customizing user experiences based on preferences and engagement history.
Enhanced Platform Interaction – Enabling access to tailored features, notifications, and relevant content.

Additionally, when users contact Strovik for customer support, feedback, or general inquiries, any personal information voluntarily shared will be used solely for administrative purposes. This may include responding to support requests, addressing technical issues, or refining platform features based on user feedback.

B. AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION

In addition to data voluntarily provided by users, Strovik automatically gathers technical and behavioral information during website interactions. This data is collected through log files, cookies, and analytics tools to enhance platform functionality and security. Information collected may include:

IP Address – Used for regional identification and security monitoring.
Browser Type and Version – Ensures compatibility and optimized content display.
Internet Service Provider (ISP) – Helps diagnose network performance and connectivity issues.
Date and Time of Access – Assists in analyzing peak traffic periods and usage trends.
Visited Pages and Interaction Patterns – Supports platform optimization and content refinement.

This data is leveraged for performance tracking, security assessment, and overall user experience improvements. By analyzing engagement trends, Strovik can enhance website speed, optimize navigation, and strengthen security measures to better serve users.

To further refine usability, Strovik utilizes Cookies and Web Beacons, which help:

Customize website functionality based on user preferences and interaction history.
Deliver relevant content and personalized recommendations.
Analyze traffic sources and improve advertising strategies.

Users have the option to modify, disable, or manage cookie settings through their web browser. However, certain features may be affected if cookies are disabled. By continuing to use Strovik without adjusting cookie settings, users consent to their use.

C. DATA FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES

As part of its content strategy and advertising framework, Strovik collaborates with third-party advertising partners that may display sponsored content and promotional materials. These external services utilize tracking technologies such as Cookies, Web Beacons, and JavaScript to analyze user engagement. Information collected through these methods may include:

IP Addresses and Device Identifiers – Used for targeted advertising based on geographic location and analytics.
Browsing Behavior and Interaction Data – Helps assess the effectiveness of advertisements and tailor promotional content to user interests.

This data is shared solely for the purposes of:

Evaluating advertising performance and engagement metrics.
Delivering promotional content relevant to users’ preferences and browsing history.

Users can manage third-party tracking preferences by adjusting their browser or device settings. However, Strovik does not have direct control over how external advertisers collect and process user data.

Engaging with an advertisement displayed on Strovik’s platform does not create a direct relationship between the user and the advertising partner. This Privacy Policy strictly governs data collected within Strovik and does not extend to third-party platforms.

Certain advertising partners, such as Google, use DART Cookies to deliver personalized ads based on user activity. Users who wish to opt out of Google’s DART Cookies can manage their preferences through Google’s Privacy Policy.

For more details on third-party advertising practices, users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of external platforms to understand how their data is collected, stored, and used.

Survey and Form Submission Cookies

To improve platform content and services, Strovik occasionally conducts surveys and feedback requests. Cookies assist in ensuring that users do not see the same survey multiple times while maintaining consistency in data collection. When submitting forms—such as customer support requests or feedback—cookies store basic details to prevent users from having to re-enter information. This simplifies follow-ups and allows for a more seamless interaction with the platform.
