Welcome to Sarkari Now (https://sarkarinow.yuva.help/). Building trust with our readers is just as important to us as bringing you the fastest updates on government jobs, exam results, and Sarkari schemes.
When you visit our platform to check the latest vacancy or download an admit card, we want you to feel secure. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe.
1. Information We Collect When You Interact
We try to collect as little data as possible, but we do need some basic information to keep the site running smoothly and safely:
- When You Leave a Comment: If you ask a question on a job post or share your thoughts on a new Sarkari Yojana, we collect the details you enter in the comment form (like your name and email). To protect our community from spam bots, we also securely log your IP address and browser details.
- Profile Pictures: If you use a service like Gravatar, an encrypted version of your email may be checked to display your profile picture next to your comment.
2. Media and Uploads
We generally provide the information to you, but if you ever need to upload images to our site (such as a screenshot of an issue you are facing), please ensure you remove any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) from the image file before uploading. This protects your physical privacy, as anyone can download images from the web and extract that data.
3. How We Use Cookies (And Why They Help You)
Cookies are tiny text files saved on your device that act like a helpful memory tool for our website.
- Saving You Time: If you comment on a post about an upcoming SSC or state police exam, you can opt-in to save your name and email in cookies. This way, you will not have to retype everything the next time you want to join the discussion. These convenience cookies last for a year.
- Account Logins: If you create an account with us to track your favorite job alerts, we use temporary cookies to check if your browser accepts them. Once logged in, we use cookies to remember your login session and your screen preferences.
4. Official Links and Embedded Content
To help you apply for jobs or understand a scheme, we often embed official government notification PDFs, YouTube tutorial videos, or direct links to application portals.
It is important to know that interacting with this embedded content is exactly like visiting those official websites directly. Those external sites (like official government portals or YouTube) have their own privacy policies and may use their own cookies to track your interaction.
5. Keeping Your Data Safe
We are in the business of sharing free information, not selling your personal data. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. If you ever request a password reset for your account, your IP address is simply included in the automated email to ensure it was actually you making the request.
6. How Long We Keep Your Information
- Community Discussions: Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely. This allows us to instantly recognize and approve your future comments without holding them in a moderation queue.
- Registered Users: If you register on our platform, we safely store the information in your user profile. You have full control to view, edit, or delete your personal details at any time (with the exception of changing your username).
7. Your Rights Over Your Data
You own your personal information. If you have an account with Sarkari Now or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to completely erase any personal data we have on file. (Please note: We may have to keep certain backend data strictly for administrative, security, or legal purposes).
