Privacy & Cookies Policy
This policy explains what information UP Election News (upelectionnews.com) collects, why, and the choices you have. The website is operated by DB PR Solution.
Information you give us
- Contact form: when you use the form on our contact or advertising page, we collect your name, email address, subject and message. We use this only to respond to you and to keep a record of the conversation.
- Error reports: when you use “इस खबर में गलती दिखी? हमें बताएं” on an article, we collect your message, the article’s address and, if you choose to give them, your name and email address.
- These messages are stored in our website’s administration system, which only authorised staff can access.
- Depending on how the website is configured, a copy of your message may also be sent to our team by email or to a secure form-processing service so that we can respond.
- To prevent spam, the website temporarily uses a one-way encoded form of your IP address to limit how many messages can be sent in an hour. This value is kept for about one hour and is not stored with your message.
Information collected automatically
- Web server logs: like most websites, our hosting provider records technical information such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, for security and to keep the website running.
- Analytics: if enabled, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how readers use the website (for example which pages are visited). Analytics loads only after you accept cookies in our cookie notice.
- Advertising: if enabled, we show advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads and measure their performance. Until you accept cookies, ads are requested in a limited, non-personalised form. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and manage ad personalisation at https://adssettings.google.com.
Cookies and similar storage we use
- Your cookie choice: we store your accept/reject choice in your browser (local storage) so that we do not ask again.
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics), only after you accept.
- Advertising cookies (Google AdSense and its partners), personalised only after you accept.
- Login cookies, only for staff who sign in to the website’s administration area.
We do not load YouTube videos until you click on them; when you do, the video is loaded from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced domain (youtube-nocookie.com), and YouTube’s own privacy policy applies. Our share buttons are simple links and do not load social media tracking scripts. Our fonts are hosted on our own server.
Your choices
- You can accept or reject non-essential cookies in our cookie notice, and change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
- You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information you sent us through our forms by contacting us at +91 7619001756 or through our contact page.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the website (such as hosting, email delivery, analytics and advertising services), or when required by law.
Children
This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children.
