This Privacy Policy explains what information BoardAlert (https://boardalert.in) collects when you visit the website, how we use it, who we share it with and the choices you have. By using this website you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
Information we collect
- Log data. Like most websites, our server records your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the pages you open, the website that referred you and the date and time of your visit. We use this to keep the site secure, to find errors and to understand which content is useful.
- Contact form data. If you write to us, we receive your name, email address and message. We use them only to reply to you and to improve the website. We do not sell them.
- Cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We and our advertising partners use them as described below.
- Search terms. If you use the search box, the words you type are used to show results and may appear in our server logs.
We do not ask visitors to create an account, and we do not collect payment information. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as Aadhaar numbers, bank details or passwords. Please do not send them to us.
How we use information
- to run, secure and improve the website and to fix errors;
- to answer your messages and requests;
- to understand which topics readers find useful so that we can write better posts;
- to show advertising that helps pay for the website;
- to prevent spam, abuse and fraud;
- to meet legal obligations.
Advertising and cookies
We use Google AdSense to show advertisements on this website. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons or IP addresses to collect information when ads appear on our pages. We do not have access to these cookies and we do not control them. Their use is covered by the privacy policy of the vendor concerned.
Where the law requires it, a consent message may be shown to visitors from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom before personalised ads are served.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the website may not work as expected if cookies are disabled. Ads will still appear if you turn off personalised advertising, but they will be less relevant to you.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with:
- Our hosting and technology providers, who store and deliver the website and process log data on our behalf.
- Advertising partners, such as Google, as described above.
- Authorities, when we are required to do so by law or to protect the rights, safety and security of our visitors and the website.
Information may be processed on servers located outside India. By using the website you understand that your information may be transferred and stored there.
Third-party links
Our posts link to official government websites and other third-party sites. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please read their policies before you share any personal information. Be careful with websites that look like official portals but have a different address.
Children
This website provides general information and many of our readers are students. However, it is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Data retention and security
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to answer them and to keep a record of corrections. Server logs are kept for a limited time and then deleted or anonymised. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold, but no method of transmission over the internet or of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights and choices
You may ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information you sent us through the contact form, and you may withdraw any consent you have given. Depending on where you live, laws such as India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the EU and UK GDPR or similar laws may give you further rights. To make a request, write to us through the contact page. We may need to confirm your identity before we act on a request.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. There is no common standard for how websites should respond to it, so we do not currently change how the website works when we receive one. You can control cookies through your browser settings as described above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add a new feature or when the law changes. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. Please check this page now and then.
