4a. Google AdSense Cookies

This website displays advertisements through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. These cookies are set by Google, not by us.

Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's own Privacy Policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

4b. Analytics Cookies

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data using cookies. No personally identifiable information is collected. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.

Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features and the ads you see. It will not affect your ability to read our guides.

5. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet.

Key points about AdSense on our site:

• Ads are served by Google's DoubleClick DART cookie
• Google may use data from your browsing activity across sites to serve relevant ads
• We do not have access to or control over the cookies used by Google
• Ad revenue helps us keep this site free and maintain our guides
• Ads do not affect the accuracy or independence of our editorial content

You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

6. External Links

Our guides contain links to external websites — primarily official government portals such as:

• tnreginet.gov.in — Official TNREGINET portal
• eservices.tn.gov.in — Tamil Nadu e-Services (Patta Chitta)

When you click these links, you leave our website and are subject to the privacy policies of those external sites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or data handling of any external website, including official government portals.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external site you visit, including official government portals.

7. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at support@tnreginetgovin.net and we will take steps to delete such information.

8. Your Rights Under Indian Law (DPDPA 2023)

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) grants you rights regarding your personal data. Since we do not collect personally identifiable information from visitors, most of these rights are not directly applicable in the context of your use of this site.

However, to the extent any personal data is processed (for example, through AdSense or Analytics cookies), you have the right to:

• Access — know what personal data is held about you
• Correction — request correction of inaccurate data
• Erasure — request deletion of your personal data
• Grievance redressal — raise a complaint about how your data is handled
• Nominate — nominate another person to exercise rights on your behalf

For data processed by Google (AdSense, Analytics), please refer directly to Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Data Safety tools. For any concerns about data collected by this site, contact us at support@tnreginetgovin.net.

9. Your Rights Under GDPR (EU/EEA Visitors)

If you are visiting from the European Union or European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, and data portability. You also have the right to object to processing and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Since we do not collect personal data directly, your primary contact for GDPR-related concerns regarding advertising cookies would be Google. For site-specific concerns, contact us at support@tnreginetgovin.net.

10. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you certain rights regarding your personal information. Since we do not sell personal information and do not collect personally identifiable information from visitors, the CCPA's sale opt-out provisions do not apply to our direct data practices.

For advertising-related data collected by Google on our site, please use Google's tools to exercise your CCPA rights.

11. Data Security

While we do not collect personal data, we take reasonable steps to ensure the security of this website:

• The site is served over HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption) — look for the padlock in your browser
• Security headers are configured to prevent common web attacks
• The site is hosted on a reputable shared hosting provider with standard security measures

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. However, we strive to maintain industry-standard protections for our website.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or third-party services. When we update it, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
