What we collect and why
Anything that needs your consent starts only after you give it. The site works fully if you say no.
| Data | Purpose | Basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| News notifications (push) — the push address (endpoint) of your browser and its security keys | Sending you an alert when big news breaks | Your consent (“Turn on notifications”) | Until you turn notifications off; it is then deleted from our server |
| Site statistics (Google Analytics) — cookie identifier, pages viewed, device and browser, approximate location (city level) | Understanding how the site is read so we can improve it | Your consent | Up to 14 months in Google Analytics |
| Personalised ads (Google Ad Manager) — cookie / advertising identifier, IP address, pages viewed | Showing ads matched to your interests | Your consent. Without it, ads are shown without cookies or identifiers | As per Google policy |
| Consent record — a random identifier, your choice and the time (no name or IP address) | Being able to show that notice was given and consent obtained | Legal obligation | While the consent is in effect and afterwards as the law requires |
| Your email — name, email address and message, when you write to us | Replying to you | Provided by you | Until the matter is closed |
| Technical logs — IP address, browser and time | Security and running the site | Necessary to provide the service | A limited period, then deleted automatically |
On your device: your preferences (such as your chosen city and your consent) are saved in your browser only.
Who receives the data
- Google — for Google Analytics and Google Ad Manager (only as you consent).
- The notification service of your browser (such as Google, Apple or Mozilla) — to deliver the alert to your phone.
- Our hosting provider — the server the site runs on.
These services may use servers outside India. We do not sell your data.
Changing or withdrawing consent
Every page has a “गोपनीयता विकल्प” (Privacy choices) link at the bottom — open it now. There you can change your consent for statistics and personalised ads, and turn news notifications off. Withdrawing is as easy as giving; the related processing stops at once.
