Who we are
techenum is a blog dedicated to technology. We are a place where you find technology related news & updates, tips & tricks, tutorials, and much more. We are not aimed at a particular group of readers per-se. It is because we believe there are non technical people out there who needs the technical details. Who is better a friend than the internet. So, we aim to serve all the technology related content to you so that you can learn from a single source among many others.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
