At APAAR ID Card Guide (apaaridcard.org), we place the highest priority on user privacy, transparency, and data protection. This Privacy Policy sets forth how we handle visitor information and outlines our strict zero-collection pledge regarding sensitive citizen identity documents.

1. Strict Zero-Collection Policy for Government Identity Data

2. Information We May Collect

• Voluntary Contact Submissions: If you voluntarily reach out through our contact form, we collect your submitted name, email address, and message solely to respond to your editorial inquiry or correction. We do not sell or share contact details with third-party marketers.
• Technical Web Logs: Like standard web hosts, our server infrastructure temporarily logs standard non-personally identifiable technical information (e.g. browser user-agent, operating system, timestamp, and referring URL) to optimize delivery performance and prevent DDoS attacks.

3. Cookies and Analytics

We may use minimal, privacy-centric cookies to remember user preferences (such as color themes or text sizing) and evaluate aggregated website traffic patterns. You can configure your browser to disable or reject cookies at any time without restricting access to any guide on this website.

4. External Links to Government Platforms

Our guides link directly to external authorized government portals (such as apaar.education.gov.in, abc.gov.in, digilocker.gov.in, and india.gov.in). Once you navigate to external domains, their respective privacy policies and terms of service govern your data. We encourage users to review the privacy notices of all third-party platforms.

5. Compliance with the DPDP Act (2023)

We operate in accordance with the principles of data minimization and purposeful limitation established under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
