Andar Bahar - Privacy Policy

Information we collect

What we collect

andarbaharlive.org is an independent information and guide website focused on the Andar Bahar card game. We do not operate a casino, hold player accounts, process payments, or provide gambling services of any kind. The personal data we collect is limited strictly to what is necessary to operate this Site and to improve our editorial content.

Data collected automatically

When you visit andarbaharlive.org, our servers and third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) automatically record technical information, including: your IP address and approximate geographic region; browser type, version, and operating system; pages you visit, time spent on each page, and the referring URL; device type and screen resolution; and the date and time of each request. This information is processed in aggregate and is not used to identify you as an individual.

Data you provide

If you contact us via email or our contact form, we collect your name (if you choose to provide it), your email address, and the content of your message. We do not collect payment details, Aadhaar numbers, PAN card information, bank account details, or any other sensitive personal or financial data. We process no financial transactions of any kind on this Site.

Cookies

We use first-party cookies and third-party analytics cookies (for example, those set by Google Analytics) to remember your preferences and to measure how our content performs. You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to read our guides and articles.

How we use your information

Purposes of processing

andarbaharlive.org uses the data we collect for the following purposes: to operate and maintain the Site; to analyse readership patterns so we can prioritise the guides and articles most useful to our audience; to respond to enquiries you send us directly; and to comply with applicable legal obligations. We do not use your data for targeted advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose unrelated to publishing informational content.

Data retention

We retain automatically collected analytics data in anonymised or aggregated form for up to 26 months, after which it is purged. Contact enquiry data is kept only as long as necessary to resolve your request and for a reasonable administrative period thereafter, after which it is securely deleted. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes.

Third-party links and the operator

Our Site contains links to third-party platforms, including the operator known as Andar Bahar, which is not affiliated with this Site. When you follow a link to any external site, that site's own privacy policy governs the data you provide there. We are not responsible for the data-handling practices of the operator or any other third party we link to, and we encourage you to review their policies before submitting any personal information.
