At PoliticianInfo.in, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how it is used, and the measures we take to protect it.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://politicianinfo.in.
We provide detailed and verified profiles of Indian politicians to help citizens make informed decisions about their leaders.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string (also called a hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available via Gravatar) becomes visible publicly in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the images. Other visitors to the website may download and extract this location data from publicly visible images.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when commenting again. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close the browser.
When you log in:
• Login cookies last for two days.
• Screen preference cookies last for one year.
• If “Remember Me” is selected, login persists for two weeks.
• On logout, login cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on PoliticianInfo.in may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). This embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the external website directly.
These third-party sites may:
• Collect data about you
• Use cookies
• Embed additional third-party tracking
• Monitor your interaction with embedded content (especially if you’re logged in to their site)
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email for verification and security purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any future comments instead of placing them in a moderation queue.
For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Administrators can also access and update this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request:
• An exported file of the personal data we hold about you
• The deletion of any personal data we retain
Please note: This does not include data we are obligated to keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be scanned and verified through an automated spam detection service to maintain the integrity and safety of our website.
