Privacy Policy

We collect the minimum needed to run GulfHindi.com and understand our audience. This policy explains what that is, why we hold it, and how to get it back or removed.

What we collect

• Analytics — aggregate data about pages viewed, approximate location, device type and referring site.
• Cookies — for site functionality and for advertising (see below).
• Data you give us — an email address if you subscribe to our newsletter, a browser token if you enable push notifications, and the details you provide if you contact us or book an advertisement.
• Server logs — IP address, user agent and request time, kept for security and abuse prevention, and deleted on a rolling basis.

We do not require an account to read GulfHindi.

Why we hold it

To deliver and secure the site, to send you the newsletter or notifications you asked for, to understand which coverage is read, and to sell and serve advertising. That is the whole list.

Advertising and third-party cookies

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising at google.com/settings/ads, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.
• Readers in the EEA and the UK are asked for consent before advertising or analytics cookies are set, and can withdraw it at any time.

Advertising data is handled by Google under its own privacy policy, at policies.google.com/privacy.

Newsletter and push notifications

If you subscribe, we store your email address or push token solely to send you what you subscribed to. Every email carries an unsubscribe link, and push notifications can be turned off in your browser settings or by using the bell control on this site. Unsubscribing removes you from the list.

Who we share data with

Our hosting, analytics, advertising and email delivery providers, only to the extent needed to provide those services. We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it with data brokers.

Children

GulfHindi is a general news site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

Your rights

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the EU/UK GDPR where it applies, and equivalent laws elsewhere, you may:

• request access to the personal data we hold about you;
• ask us to correct it;
• ask us to delete it;
• withdraw consent you previously gave;
• object to processing, or ask for your data in a portable form.

Write to [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India, or to your local supervisory authority.

Data retention

Newsletter and push subscriptions are held until you unsubscribe. Correspondence is held for as long as needed to deal with it and any follow-up. Analytics are aggregate and not tied to you.

Security

Data is held on encrypted infrastructure with access limited to the people who need it. No system is perfect; if a breach affects your data we will notify you and the relevant authority as required by law.

Changes to this policy

Material changes are announced on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
