At IGCTU News, we prioritize your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data of our users in compliance with global standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information when you access or interact with our online newspaper. By using our services, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.
We collect personal and non-personal information to provide and enhance our services. Personal information may include your name, email address, phone number, or other contact details, which you provide when subscribing to our newsletter, submitting a query, or contributing content. Non-personal information includes data such as browser type, device information, and IP address, collected through cookies or similar technologies to analyze usage patterns and improve our website’s functionality. Additionally, user-generated content, including comments, articles, or media submissions, is collected when shared with IGCTU News.
The information we collect is used for various purposes, including delivering personalized content, improving the user experience, responding to inquiries, and providing notifications about events and updates. We also use the data to conduct analytics and enhance the overall effectiveness of our platform. We ensure that data is processed only when necessary, and in accordance with the legal bases established under GDPR, including consent, legitimate interest, or to fulfill contractual obligations.
As a user, you have rights over your personal information. If you are an EU resident, GDPR grants you the right to access, rectify, or delete your data, restrict its processing, object to certain uses, and request data portability. California residents are entitled to similar rights under CCPA, including the right to know what personal information we collect, request its deletion, or opt out of its sale (though IGCTU News does not sell personal data). These rights ensure transparency and empower you to control your personal information. To exercise these rights, you can contact us at [Insert Email Address].
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. However, we may share your information with service providers who support our operations, such as hosting providers, analytics services, and email delivery platforms. Additionally, we may share your data to comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests. We implement strong security measures, including encryption and access controls, to protect your information from unauthorized access or breaches.
Cookies play a significant role in enhancing your experience on our website. These small data files enable us to analyze user behavior, optimize site performance, and deliver relevant content. While cookies are integral to the functioning of our site, you have control over their use and can adjust your browser settings to manage or block them. For more detailed information about how we use cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Once the data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. If you access IGCTU News from outside India, please note that your data may be transferred to and processed in India or other countries with different privacy laws. However, we take appropriate steps to ensure that your information is treated securely, regardless of location.
Our services are not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware of such data collection, we will take steps to delete it promptly. This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on our website, and we encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us.
