Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Shivam Das News (“we,” “us,” or “our”) may collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, read articles, interact with embedded content, or contact us. The details of processing can depend on your location, the tools enabled on the site, and the choices you make.

1. Information that may be collected

  • Technical and log information: such as browser and device type, IP address, approximate location inferred from network information, requested pages, referral information, and date/time of visits. The exact information depends on hosting, security, and analytics systems.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: these may support essential site functions, remember preferences, measure traffic, or support advertising. See our Cookie Policy.
  • Information you submit: if you contact us or send a correction request, we may receive your name, email address, message, article links, and any other information you choose to include.
  • Embedded and third-party content: services such as Google Forms, video players, social networks, analytics providers, or advertising partners may collect information under their own privacy notices when their content loads or is used.

2. How information may be used

Information may be used to operate and secure the website; deliver pages and respond to requests; investigate corrections and news tips; understand general readership and site performance; prevent abuse, fraud, or technical problems; comply with applicable legal obligations; and support advertising or measurement where enabled. We aim to collect and use information for legitimate, relevant purposes and not to request sensitive details that are unnecessary for a reader inquiry.

3. Cookies, analytics, and advertising

We may use first-party or third-party cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, audience measurement, and advertising. Third-party advertising services, including Google where enabled, may use cookies or device identifiers according to their own policies and the settings available in your region. You can review Google ad controls at Google Ads Settings. Blocking cookies may affect some site features.

4. Service providers and third parties

The site is hosted and operated using Shopify technology. We may rely on service providers for hosting, security, analytics, advertising, form submissions, video, or other functions. These providers may process information to deliver their services under their own terms and privacy practices. When you follow an external link or use an embedded third-party service, that service’s privacy policy may apply to its collection and use of information.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell personal information as a standalone list. Information may be processed by service providers that help operate the site, disclosed when required by law or valid legal process, used to protect rights and security, or transferred as part of a business reorganization where lawful. Some advertising or analytics activities may be considered “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a “sale” under certain regional privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged. Where applicable, you may have the right to opt out through available site or browser controls.

6. Your choices and privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, or restriction of certain personal information, or to object to particular processing. You may also manage cookies through your browser and use any applicable privacy controls made available by your browser or region. To submit a request, use our Contact page and describe what you need. We may need to verify a request and may be unable to fulfill it where an exception under applicable law applies.

7. Data retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including responding to messages, maintaining security, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. No website, transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. Please avoid sending passwords, payment card details, or other highly sensitive information through a general contact form.

8. Children’s privacy

This publication is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review the situation.

9. International visitors

Our website may be accessed from countries other than the United States. Depending on your location and the service providers involved, information may be processed in jurisdictions with different data-protection rules. Applicable rights and protections depend on the circumstances and governing law.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our website, tools, or legal obligations change. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when this page was most recently revised. Changes take effect when posted unless a different effective date is stated.

Data Minimisation and Retention

We seek to collect only the information reasonably needed to respond to a request, maintain the website, protect its security, and understand general usage. Information may be retained for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, to resolve disputes, meet applicable obligations, or enforce site policies. Retention periods can vary depending on the type of information and the circumstances.

Your Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be able to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, or object to certain processing. You can also limit cookies through your browser settings. To make a privacy request, contact us with enough detail to understand the request; we may need to verify it before taking action. This policy is general information and may be updated as our practices or legal requirements change.

Security and External Services

We use reasonable measures appropriate to the operation of a small publishing website to help protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, or loss. No online transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive information through ordinary forms. Some pages may include embedded content or links provided by third parties. When you interact with those services, their providers may process technical information under their own terms and privacy notices.

Policy Scope

This notice describes general practices for this website and is not a promise that every third-party service follows the same practices. The information and choices available to you may depend on your jurisdiction and the tools active on the site. We encourage readers to review relevant browser controls and third-party notices. If we make a material change to our data practices, we may revise this page so that it better describes the current approach.
