3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Digital Pradesh may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functions, remember preferences, measure performance and support advertising where such services are enabled.
The categories of cookies used and the available choices may depend on the website configuration and third-party services. Where applicable law requires consent before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, the required consent should be obtained.
For further information, please read our Cookies Policy.
4. Disclosure and Sharing of Information
Digital Pradesh does not sell or rent personal information as a general business practice. Information may nevertheless be processed or disclosed in the following circumstances, subject to applicable law:

Third-party providers may process information under their own terms and privacy policies. Their handling of information may be governed by additional requirements depending on the service and the circumstances.
5. Third-Party Websites and Services
The website may contain links to third-party websites, embedded media, advertisements or other external services. Those third parties may collect information directly from you or through their own technologies.
Digital Pradesh does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties. We encourage users to review the privacy policies and settings of external services before interacting with them.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining security, fulfilling applicable obligations and resolving disputes.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the reason for its collection, technical requirements and applicable law. Information may be retained for a longer period where required by law or reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
When information is no longer required, reasonable steps may be taken to delete it, anonymise it or otherwise dispose of it securely, subject to applicable retention requirements.
7. Data Security
Digital Pradesh takes reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security, and users should exercise care when sharing information online.
8. Privacy Rights and Requests
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances of the processing, you may have rights concerning personal information, including the right to request access, correction, erasure or withdrawal of consent where applicable.
Requests may be submitted through our Contact Us page. Please identify the information or issue concerned and provide sufficient details to help us assess the request.
We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Some information may need to be retained, or a request may be limited or declined, where permitted or required by applicable law.
9. Children’s Privacy
Digital Pradesh does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental consent or other safeguards are legally required without following the applicable requirements.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information in circumstances that raise a privacy concern, please contact the Digital Pradesh Team through our Contact Us page. We will review the concern and take appropriate action where warranted by the circumstances and applicable law.
10. Applicable Law
This Privacy Policy shall be interpreted in accordance with applicable law, including relevant Indian data-protection and information-technology legislation, as applicable to the website and its operations.
Nothing in this policy removes any right or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where a particular privacy law applies to a specific user or processing activity, the relevant obligations and rights under that law shall be considered accordingly.
