This policy explains what Indians Times collects when you visit this website, why, and what you can do about it.
What we collect
- Information you give us. Your email address if you subscribe to a newsletter, and anything you send us by email or through a contact form.
- Information collected automatically. Standard server logs including IP address, browser type, pages requested and referring page. These are used to keep the site running and secure.
- Analytics. Aggregate information about how the site is used, so we know which articles are read and where readers arrive from.
We do not ask for or store payment card details on this site.
Why we collect it
To deliver the newsletter you asked for, to answer your messages, to keep the site secure and working, and to understand which journalism is being read. We do not sell your personal data.
Cookies
We use cookies that are necessary for the site to function, and analytics cookies that help us understand usage. You can refuse non-essential cookies without losing access to any article, and you can clear or block cookies in your browser at any time.
Third parties
Some services we use process data on our behalf — our hosting provider, our email delivery provider and our analytics provider. List them by name here. Each is bound to use the data only to provide that service.
How long we keep it
Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Correspondence is kept while it is relevant. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes.
Your rights
You can ask us what personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, and withdraw consent for anything you previously agreed to. Unsubscribing from the newsletter takes one click and needs no explanation.
To exercise any of these, write to our grievance officer below.
