For data-protection purposes, the operator responsible for the processing of personal information is:

In this Privacy Policy, “Hesabla,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the operator of Hesabla.com.
2. Information We May Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with the website.
Information you provide directly
You may provide information when you:
- contact us through a contact form;
- subscribe to internship, article or other email alerts;

Calculator information
When you use a calculator, you provide values required to perform the requested calculation. These may include academic scores, financial amounts, measurements, health-related values or other numerical information, depending on the calculator.
Calculator inputs are processed for the purpose of producing the requested result. Hesabla does not intend to use calculator inputs to identify individual users or create personal profiles unless a specific calculator clearly explains otherwise.
Depending on the technical implementation of a calculator, inputs may be processed within your browser or transmitted temporarily to our servers. We aim to retain calculator inputs only where necessary to operate, secure or improve the relevant service.
Calculator results are provided for informational purposes and should not automatically be considered professional, medical, legal, financial or academic advice.
Information collected automatically
When you access Hesabla.com, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including:
- language settings;
- pages visited;
- links or buttons used;
- referral source;
- date and time of access;
- session duration;
- error, security and diagnostic information;
- cookie and similar technology identifiers.
This information helps us operate, protect, understand and improve the website.
3. How We Use Information
We may use collected information to:
- provide calculators, articles and other website functionality;
- generate requested calculation results;
- operate contact and support services;
- send alerts or updates that a user has requested;
- understand how visitors use the website;
- improve calculators, content, navigation and performance;
- remember language, privacy and other preferences;
- detect fraud, spam, abuse and security incidents;
- maintain technical and security logs;
- display and measure advertising on selected pages;
- comply with applicable laws and lawful requests;
- establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
We will not use personal information for a materially different purpose without providing appropriate notice and, where required, obtaining consent.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the General Data Protection Regulation or similar legislation applies, we process personal information using one or more of the following legal bases:
Consent
We may rely on your consent for:
- optional analytics cookies;
- advertising cookies;
- personalized advertising;
- email alerts or newsletters;
- optional functionality that requires personal information.
You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.
Legitimate interests
We may process information where necessary for legitimate interests such as:
- operating and improving Hesabla;
- protecting the website and its users;
- preventing fraud, spam and misuse;
- understanding general website performance;
- responding to user requests;
- maintaining appropriate business and security records.
We consider whether these interests are outweighed by users’ rights and reasonable privacy expectations.
Providing a requested service
Processing may be necessary to provide a calculator result, respond to a message, deliver an alert or perform another service requested by the user.
Legal obligations
We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with laws, court orders, regulatory requirements or other legally enforceable requests.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Hesabla.com may use cookies, local storage, tags, pixels and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files placed on a browser or device. They may be used to operate the website, remember preferences, analyze traffic and support advertising.
We may use the following categories:
Necessary technologies
These technologies are required for security and basic website operation. They may support sessions, form protection, fraud prevention, language settings and consent records.
They cannot always be disabled through our preference tools because the website may not operate correctly without them.
Preference and functionality cookies
These cookies may remember choices such as language, display settings or previously selected preferences.
Analytics cookies
Analytics technologies help us understand matters such as:
- the number of website visitors;
- pages and calculators used;
- general traffic sources;
- browser and device categories;
- technical performance and errors.
Where required by law, analytics cookies will be activated only after consent.
Advertising cookies
Advertising cookies may be used on pages where advertisements are displayed. They may support ad delivery, frequency control, fraud prevention, reporting, measurement and, where permitted, ad personalization.
You can manage optional cookie categories through the cookie banner or privacy-preference tool where available. You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain technologies may affect website functionality.
6. Google Analytics
Hesabla may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website.
Google Analytics may process information such as:
- pages visited;
- session and interaction information;
- browser and device information;
- approximate geographic location;
- referral information;
- cookie or device identifiers.
We use this information to evaluate website traffic, improve calculators and content, identify technical problems and understand general usage patterns.
Where required, Google Analytics will operate according to the consent choice made through our cookie-management system.
Users may also prevent their activity from being made available to Google Analytics by using the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
7. Advertising and Google AdSense
Hesabla may display advertisements on selected pages, including article pages.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve advertisements based on a user’s previous visits to Hesabla.com or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its advertising partners to serve advertisements based on visits to Hesabla.com and other websites on the Internet.
Depending on the user’s location, consent choices and advertising settings, advertisements may be:
- contextual;
- non-personalized;
- limited;
- personalized.
Users may manage or disable personalized advertising through Google My Ad Center or Google Ads Settings.
Other authorized advertising vendors may also use cookies where enabled. Information about participating vendors and their purposes may be presented through our consent-management platform.
Hesabla does not control the content of every advertisement selected and displayed by third-party advertising providers.
8. Consent for European Users
For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we may use a consent-management platform to:
- explain how cookies and personal information are used;
- identify relevant advertising and technology providers;
- allow users to accept or reject optional cookies;
- allow users to manage preferences by category;
- record and respect consent choices;
- allow consent to be withdrawn later.
Where legally required, optional analytics or advertising storage will not be activated unless the necessary consent has been provided.
A Cookie Settings, Privacy Settings or similar link should remain available so that users can review or change their choices.
9. Email Alerts and Communications
Users may voluntarily provide an email address to receive internship alerts, articles, platform updates or similar communications.
We use the email address for the purpose described when the user subscribes. Users can unsubscribe through the unsubscribe option included in relevant emails or by contacting us.
Operational messages directly related to a user’s request may still be sent where necessary.
We do not send unsolicited promotional emails without an appropriate legal basis.
10. How We Share Information
We may share information with carefully selected third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.
These may include:
- hosting and cloud infrastructure providers;
- content-delivery and security providers;
- analytics providers;
- advertising providers, including Google;
- consent-management providers;
- email delivery and communication providers;
- technical support providers;
- professional advisers;
- public authorities where disclosure is legally required.
Service providers may process information only for agreed purposes and subject to applicable contractual and legal obligations.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:
- comply with law or a lawful request;
- investigate fraud, abuse or security incidents;
- protect the rights and safety of users or third parties;
- enforce our Terms of Use;
- complete a merger, restructuring, acquisition or transfer of the website or its assets.
We do not sell personal information directly in exchange for money. However, certain advertising activities may be legally classified as “sharing” or similar processing in some jurisdictions. Where applicable, users will be provided with the legally required controls.
11. External Websites and Internship Links
Hesabla may contain links to universities, exam providers, companies, internship announcements, social media platforms and other external websites.
When you follow an external link, the third party may collect information according to its own privacy policy. Hesabla does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security or content practices of independent third-party websites.
You should review the privacy policy of a third-party service before providing personal information to it.
12. International Data Transfers
Some service providers used by Hesabla may operate servers or process information in countries other than the country in which the user is located.
As a result, information may be transferred to or processed in another country, including countries whose data-protection rules may differ.
Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, which may include contractual data-protection measures, recognized transfer mechanisms or other legally accepted safeguards.
13. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Retention periods may include:
- contact messages: normally up to 24 months after the communication is completed;
- email subscriptions: until the user unsubscribes or the service is discontinued;
- security and server logs: generally up to 12 months, unless needed for an investigation;
- consent records: for as long as reasonably necessary to demonstrate and manage consent;
- analytics information: according to the configured analytics-retention period;
- calculator inputs: only as long as necessary to produce the result, operate the relevant feature, maintain security or satisfy a clearly disclosed purpose;
- legal and compliance records: for the period required by applicable law.
Information may be deleted, anonymized or aggregated when it is no longer required.
14. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
- receive information about how your data is processed;
- request access to personal information relating to you;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- request deletion of personal information;
- request restriction of certain processing;
- object to certain processing;
- withdraw consent;
- request portability of information where applicable;
- unsubscribe from marketing or email alerts;
- lodge a complaint with a competent authority.
Some rights may be subject to legal exceptions. We may request reasonable information to verify the identity of the person submitting a request.
To submit a privacy request, contact info@hesabla.com.
15. Children’s Privacy
Hesabla provides educational and general informational tools that may also be useful to younger users. However, the website is not designed to knowingly collect unnecessary personal information from children.
Users who are not old enough to provide legally valid consent in their jurisdiction should use features involving personal information only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.
If we learn that personal information from a child was collected contrary to applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete or otherwise appropriately handle that information.
16. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information against:
- unauthorized access;
- accidental loss;
- misuse;
- alteration;
- unlawful disclosure;
- destruction.
These measures may include HTTPS encryption, access restrictions, security monitoring, software updates, backups and secure development practices.
No internet service or storage method can guarantee absolute security. Users should therefore take reasonable care when submitting information online.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when:
- the website or its features change;
- new calculators or services are introduced;
- advertising or analytics providers change;
- legal or regulatory requirements change;
- our data-handling practices change.
The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Where required, we may provide additional notice or request renewed consent.
