Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Sarkari World (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle personal and non-personal information collected through sarkariworld.org and any related subdomains. By using the website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2. Scope of this Policy

This policy applies to information we collect through the Sarkari World website and related services — including the subscription form, contact channels, and anonymous browsing data. It does not apply to third-party websites linked from our content, which are governed by their own privacy policies.

3. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following categories:

• Information you provide directly: your name, email address, and optionally your mobile number, city and state when you subscribe to updates, write to us, or use the contact form.
• Automatic technical information: IP address (and derived country/region), browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, timestamps, and interaction events. This is standard server-log and analytics data.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small data files stored in your browser that help us remember preferences, measure usage, and serve advertising. See Section 5 for details.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To deliver the content, subscription emails, and updates you have requested.
• To respond to your queries, feedback, corrections, or partnership enquiries.
• To operate, maintain, secure and improve the Sarkari World website.
• To measure content and advertising performance, understand site usage, and diagnose technical issues.
• To comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, and enforce our policies.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Sarkari World uses cookies and similar browser technologies for three main purposes:

• Essential cookies — required for basic website functionality such as remembering cookie-consent choices and keeping the site secure.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve content and performance.
• Advertising cookies — used by our advertising partners to serve relevant ads and measure their effectiveness.

You can accept, decline or withdraw your consent for analytics and advertising cookies at any time using the consent banner shown on the site or by adjusting your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect website functionality.

6. Analytics & Advertising Partners

We work with trusted third-party providers that process information on our behalf:

• Google Analytics (GA4) — for anonymous, aggregated site-usage analytics. Loaded only after you accept analytics cookies.
• Google AdSense — to display contextual and personalised advertising. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your interests; you can manage personalisation via Google's Ad Settings.
• Microsoft Clarity — for session-level user-experience insights (heatmaps and behaviour patterns) to improve the website. Loaded only after you accept analytics cookies.

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy which governs how they process data. We encourage you to review those policies.

7. Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:

• With service providers who help us run the site (hosting, email delivery, analytics) and who are contractually required to protect your information.
• When required by law, court order, or lawful request from a government authority.
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Sarkari World, our users, or the public.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or reorganisation, subject to equivalent privacy protection.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information in our custody — including secure hosting, encrypted connections (HTTPS), and restricted internal access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we take responsible steps to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the services you requested, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Subscription data is retained while your subscription is active. Upon unsubscription or a verified deletion request, we remove your personal information from our active records within a reasonable timeframe.

10. Your Rights & Choices

Subject to applicable Indian data protection laws, you have the following rights:

• Access & correction — request a copy of the personal information we hold and ask us to correct any inaccuracies.
• Deletion — ask us to delete your personal information, subject to legal and operational retention needs.
• Unsubscription — unsubscribe from our email updates at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email or by writing to us.
• Cookie consent — withdraw your consent for analytics and advertising cookies using the consent banner or browser controls.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@sarkariworld.org. We will verify your identity and respond within a reasonable timeframe.

11. Children’s Privacy

Sarkari World is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can promptly delete it.

12. Third-Party Links

Our content often links to official government portals and other third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not cover those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external site you visit. See our Disclaimer for more context.

13. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements or operational practices. The latest version will always be available on this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
