Privacy Policy for MY Bharat Guide
Effective Date: [Insert Date, e.g., May 8, 2026]
1. Introduction
Welcome to MY Bharat Guide ([MY Bharat Guide]). We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data in compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), 2023. This policy explains how we handle information when you visit our site. This privacy policy applies to every page of MY Bharat Guide, including our registration guide, certificate guide and free tools. Please read this privacy policy fully before you send us any personal information.
Disclaimer: MY Bharat Guide is an independent educational resource. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official representative of the Government of India or the official MY Bharat Portal. Your registration details are entered only on the official MY Bharat Portal — never on this website. If anything on this page ever conflicts with the official portal’s own terms, the official terms apply.
2. Information We Collect
We do not require users to create accounts to view our guides. However, we may collect:
- Voluntary Data: Information you provide via our “Contact Us” form (Name, Email). If you write to us again from the same email address, we may keep the earlier messages together so that we can follow the conversation.
- Automated Data: IP address, browser type, and device information collected via cookies for analytics and site performance. We never ask for your Aadhaar number, bank details, OTP or portal password anywhere on this site.
3. Purpose of Data Processing
We use your data strictly for:
- Improving our guides and website user experience. Every guide is reviewed and updated when the official portal changes its steps, and knowing which pages visitors use helps us keep them accurate. This is also why some guides ask you to check dates carefully before you apply.
- Responding to your inquiries or support requests. We reply from the support email address shown on this page.
- Pinterest marketing and traffic analytics. Pins link back to our guides, and we count those visits like any other.
4. Third-Party Links & Services
Our website contains links to official government portals (e.g., mybharat.gov.in). Once you leave our site, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites. We recommend reviewing the policies of any third-party site you visit. This page is a guide only; your personal data on those portals is handled under their own privacy policies. Those sites may collect data in ways that we cannot see or control.
5. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies to understand how you interact with our content. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Using our site signifies your consent to our use of these tracking technologies for analytical purposes. Blocking cookies in your browser will not stop you from reading any guide on this site. Essential cookies keep the site working; analytics cookies only help us count visits.
6. Your Rights (DPDPA Compliance)
Under Indian law, you have the following rights:
- Right to Access: Request a summary of the data we hold about you. For most visitors, this is limited to the details you sent us yourself.
- Right to Correction/Erasure: Request that we update or delete your personal information. Deletion is permanent — once your messages are erased, we cannot recover them.
- Right to Grievance Redressal: If you have concerns, you may contact our Grievance Officer. You do not need to give a reason to raise a concern with us.
