This Privacy Policy explains what information Updately (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects when you visit updately.in, why we collect it, who we share it with and the choices you have. It applies to this website only. By using the site you accept this policy.
Who is responsible for your data
Updately is run by Gurpreet Singh, who is responsible for how personal data is handled on this website. For any privacy question or request, email [email protected].
Information we collect
Information you choose to share
- Emails: your name, email address and whatever you write to us
- Comments: the name, email address and comment you submit, plus your IP address and browser details, which WordPress records to help detect spam
Information collected automatically
When you visit, our hosting server and analytics tools record technical details such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on each page, the date and time of your visit and the page that referred you. We use this to run the site and understand what readers find useful. It does not identify you by name.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files saved in your browser. We use them for a few purposes:
| Type | Why we use it |
|---|---|
| Essential | Keep the site working and secure, for example spam protection on comments |
| Preferences | Remember choices such as light or dark mode (stored in your browser only) |
| Analytics | Count visits and see which pages are read, in aggregate |
| Advertising | Show ads and measure how they perform |
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you do, some features may not work as intended.
Advertising
We may show ads served by Google AdSense and other ad partners. Google and its partners use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to show ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can turn off personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, and read how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info.
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics or a similar service to understand traffic, for example which posts are popular and how people find the site. These services set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies.
How we use information
- To operate, secure and improve the website
- To reply to your emails and publish or moderate comments
- To learn which topics readers need most
- To show advertising that keeps the site free
- To detect spam, fraud and abuse
- To meet legal obligations
Who we share it with
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only with:
- Service providers who help run the site, such as our web host, analytics and spam-protection services
- Advertising partners, through cookies, as explained above
- Authorities, if the law requires it or to protect the rights and safety of our readers or the site
Links to other websites
Our posts link to official government portals, recruitment boards and company career pages. Once you leave Updately, their privacy policies apply, not ours. Please read them before sharing any personal information.
How long we keep data
Emails are kept for as long as needed to answer and follow up, and then deleted or archived. Approved comments stay with the post they belong to unless you ask us to remove them. Server logs and analytics data are kept for limited periods set by those services.
Security
The site uses HTTPS, and we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. No website can promise complete security, so please do not send sensitive documents or ID numbers by email.
Your rights
Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask to:
- Know what personal data we hold about you
- Correct or update inaccurate data
- Have your data erased, including your comments
- Withdraw consent you gave earlier
- Raise a grievance about how your data was handled
Email [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy”. We will reply within 30 days.
Children
Updately is written for job seekers and the general public. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you think a child has shared personal information with us, contact us and we will delete it.
