Privacy Policy &
Data Protection Charter

At Parivahan Bharat, we are committed to providing a secure, educational resource for Indian transport processes. We respect citizen privacy and maintain a strict data protection charter aligned with the Information Technology Act, 2000 (Section 43A) of the Republic of India.

1. Our 100% Zero-Harvesting Guarantee

Parivahan Bharat is entirely an educational publication. **We do NOT collect, harvest, store, or process any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or official transport credentials.**

2. Privacy-First Server Logging

Like standard high-performance websites, our web servers collect basic, non-identifying telemetry logs to prevent DDoS attacks, monitor page delivery times, and optimize layout responsive ratios. This includes:

• Approximate regional location (Country & State) based on anonymized IP requests.
• User browser type (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), device classification (Mobile vs. Desktop), and language settings.
• Referrer URLs and the specific timestamp of files compiled.

This telemetry is never combined with any secondary database, is kept strictly internal, and is cleared systematically.

3. Essential Cookies & Caching Policy

We utilize minimal, non-tracking cookies strictly for functional operations (such as keeping track of your visual text-resizer preference: `A-`, `A`, `A+` or loading cached assets instantly via the browser's Service Worker).

We **do not use behavioral profiling cookies or cross-site commercial remarketing scripts**. You can easily clear or fully block cookies in your web browser preferences without losing any core educational access on this portal.

4. Safety on External Hyperlinks

Our articles contain secure outgoing links to official government transport registries (`.gov.in` and `.nic.in` domains) to help you quickly transition to actual registrations.

Once you click a link and exit Parivahan Bharat, you are guided by the terms and privacy regulations of that respective governmental portal. We strongly advise reviewing their specific privacy charters when performing sensitive official tasks.

5. Rights under Indian Information Technology Rules

Under the **Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011**, since we do not solicit, compile, or store sensitive personal information, our portal operates strictly as a zero-risk medium.
