Privacy Policy
Learn how our independent informational guide handles data, respects citizen privacy, and adheres to strict non-collection principles for sensitive government credentials.
Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how personal and non-personal data is handled when you browse and interact with our informational articles, tutorials, and navigation guides. By utilizing this website, you acknowledge the terms described herein. If you disagree with our privacy practices, please discontinue use of this resource.
Information We Do Not Collect
Unlike administrative government systems, our platform does not maintain a citizen registry or user accounts:
- No Aadhaar or Biometrics: We never capture or verify Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) records.
- No Family ID Credentials: We do not ask for or record PPP numbers or member IDs.
- No OTP or Financial Data: We never transmit or log one-time passwords, bank IFSC codes, or pension account details.
- No Identity Fees: We do not conduct commercial transactions or process identity-related payments.
Automated Analytics & Log Data
Like standard high-performance websites, our hosting servers and web performance monitors automatically log non-personally identifiable technical information. This may include:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address (anonymized for geolocation and DDOS prevention).
- Browser engine, operating system, and device screen dimensions.
- Referring webpage URLs, search terms utilized, and timestamps of page visits.
- Aggregated Core Web Vitals performance benchmarks (page loading latency, layout stability).
This aggregated information is used solely to maintain infrastructure stability, diagnose broken links, and optimize site accessibility.
Cookies & Third-Party Advertising
Cookies are small text files stored locally on your device to enhance browsing convenience and retain site preferences (such as accordion states).
Third-Party Vendors & Google AdSense: We may utilize third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, to support ongoing editorial research:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this website or other web destinations.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve relevant ads based on browsing habits.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings portal ↗ or the aboutads.info ↗ platform.
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or notify you whenever a cookie is set. Disabling cookies will not hinder your ability to read our public educational content.
External Government Portals & Third-Party Links
Our articles contain direct hyperlinks to official Haryana state web resources, such as meraparivar.haryana.gov.in, saralharyana.gov.in, and epds.haryanafood.gov.in.
Once you navigate away from our domain via an outbound link, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. External government sites are governed by their own respective privacy, cyber-security, and data handling protocols. We encourage you to review their specific policy notices before entering personal identity data.
Children’s Online Privacy
Protecting the privacy of minors is paramount. Our site publishes general civic instructions and does not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13 (or under 18 in relevant jurisdictions). If you believe a minor has inadvertently submitted identifiable details through an editorial inquiry, please contact our administrative desk to have it permanently removed.
Data Security & Retention
We employ standard transport-layer encryption (HTTPS/SSL) across the entire platform, ensuring data transferred between your browser and our server is secured against eavesdropping. Any administrative correspondence sent to our editorial desk is retained solely for the duration necessary to resolve editorial inquiries or technical bug reports.
Updates to this Privacy Statement
We periodically review and update this Privacy Policy to ensure alignment with digital governance standards, analytical practices, and privacy regulations. Any updates will be published immediately on this page along with an updated effective date.
