Welcome to Sarkari News Hindi (sarkarinewshindi.in). Protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly is a priority for us. We are committed to being transparent about what data we collect, how it’s used, and the rights you have regarding your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines these details to ensure you have complete visibility.

About Us

Sarkari News Hindi is your go-to source for the latest in government job opportunities, exam updates, and career-related news in Hindi. We strive to maintain a secure and trustworthy platform where your privacy is safeguarded.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

1. Comments and Community Engagement

When you interact with our content by leaving a comment, we collect information entered in the comment form, such as:

  • Name and Email Address: Helps us recognize you as a contributor and is necessary for communication.
  • IP Address and Browser User Agent: Collected to detect and prevent spam, keeping our platform safe.

We also support Gravatar, a service that shows a profile picture alongside your comment if you’re registered with them. To enable this, we may send an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address to the Gravatar service. 

Once your comment is approved, any associated Gravatar profile picture will appear next to it, visible to other users.

2. Media Uploads

To ensure user privacy, we advise avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) when uploading photos to our site. Any visitor can download and extract location data from images displayed on the site, so removing sensitive data before uploading enhances your privacy.
