Roopangarh News

This Privacy Policy explains how Adi Parashakti Infotech Private Limited (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with the Roopangarh News website and mobile application (together, the “Service”), which provides local news from Roopangarh and surrounding areas. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. No Account Required to Read

Roopangarh News does not require you to create an account, sign in, or register in any way to browse and read news content. You can read freely and anonymously. We do not directly collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal contact information just from reading the Service.

2. Information Collected Automatically

The Service displays advertisements to support the free delivery of news content. To show and measure ads, our advertising partners may automatically collect certain device-level identifiers, including:

• Advertising ID / device identifiers — a resettable identifier provided by your device’s operating system, used to serve and measure ads.
• Basic technical data such as device type, operating system version, and general app/site usage data related to ad delivery.

We do not collect precise location, contacts, photos, files, or any sensitive personal information just from reading the Service.

3. How Information Is Used

This device and advertising information is used solely to:

• Display advertisements within the Service;
• Personalize and measure the performance of those advertisements;
• Help keep the Service free to use for all readers.

4. Advertising and Third-Party Services

We work with third-party advertising companies (including Google AdSense and Google AdMob) to serve ads across the website and app. These companies may use device identifiers and information about app/site interactions to provide relevant advertisements and measure their effectiveness. This Privacy Policy does not cover, and we are not responsible for, the privacy practices of these third-party advertising partners. For more on interest-based advertising and your choices, see resources published by industry self-regulatory bodies such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (aboutads.info).

5. Your Choices

You can limit the use of your advertising identifier for personalized ads, or reset it, at any time through your device settings:

• Android: Settings → Google → Ads → “Delete advertising ID” or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” (menu wording may vary by Android version).

Because reading the Service does not require an account, there is no personal profile data stored with us for readers beyond the device-level identifiers described above, which are controlled entirely through your device settings.

6. Reporter (“Patrakar”) Verification — Website Only

Separately from ad-related data above, individuals may apply on the website to become a verified local reporter. This is entirely optional and unrelated to reading news. As part of that application, we collect:

• Name and mobile number;
• Your reporting area (State / District / Tehsil / Panchayat);
• A government-issued identity document (such as Aadhaar or Voter ID) for verification purposes only.

Identity documents are stored securely, accessible only to our internal review team, and are never displayed publicly. This information is used solely for reporter verification, platform safety, and service improvement — it is not sold or shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Device and advertising identifiers are shared only with our third-party advertising partners for the ad-serving and measurement purposes described above. We do not share information with other third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures, including encryption of data in transit, to help protect information handled in connection with the Service. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s Privacy

Roopangarh News is a general news service intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.

10. Data Retention

Device and advertising identifiers are retained by our advertising partners only as long as necessary for the advertising purposes described above, or until you reset/opt out of your advertising identifier through your device settings. Reporter verification documents are retained only as long as needed for verification and platform-safety purposes.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Service or applicable law. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
