Privacy Policy

Know More India is an independent civic-data project based in India. For privacy requests, withdrawals, corrections, deletion requests, or grievances, contact hello@knowmoreindia.com.

We use this inbox as the primary grievance and privacy-rights contact point. We aim to acknowledge privacy requests within 7 days and resolve them within 30 days where the request can be verified and completed.

Newsletter subscriptions: email address. The backend also supports optional name and phone fields for future contact forms, but the current public subscription form asks only for email.

Analytics and technical data: Google Analytics may process device, browser, approximate location, page-view, referrer, and interaction data. Server logs may include IP address, request path, user agent, and timestamps for security and reliability.

Public figure data: the site displays source-linked public-interest records about public figures, such as offices, party memberships, election affidavits, assets, liabilities, education, and declared criminal cases. This is separate from subscriber data and is drawn from public datasets and linked sources.

To send updates to people who subscribe.

To understand which pages are useful, diagnose reliability issues, and protect the site from abuse.

To publish and maintain source-linked civic datasets for public information and accountability.

Newsletter email processing is based on your voluntary consent when you submit the subscription form. You may withdraw that consent at any time.

Analytics, logs, security, debugging, and abuse-prevention processing are used for operating and protecting the site and understanding aggregate usage.

Public figure records are processed and displayed as source-linked public-interest information drawn from public records, official disclosures, and public datasets.

Newsletter subscriptions are voluntary. You can withdraw consent or unsubscribe by using an unsubscribe link in an email we send, if present, or by emailing us from the subscribed address.

If you ask us to unsubscribe or delete your subscriber record, we will remove the email from the active subscriber list unless we need to retain a minimal record for legal, security, or abuse-prevention reasons.

Google Analytics processes website analytics data for us. Google may process data outside India under its own infrastructure and policies.

Hosting, database, deployment, email, and security providers may process limited operational data necessary to run the site and backend.

We do not sell personal data.

Subscriber emails are kept until you unsubscribe, ask for deletion, or the newsletter/contact purpose is discontinued.

Operational logs are retained only as long as reasonably needed for debugging, abuse prevention, security, and legal compliance.

Public figure records remain as historical public-interest data, but we correct, qualify, or remove records when a source-backed error is identified.

Depending on applicable law, you may request access to personal data we hold about you, correction of inaccurate data, deletion of subscriber/contact data, withdrawal of consent, and grievance redressal.

To prevent unauthorized changes, we may ask you to verify that you control the email address or identity connected to the request.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards for the scale of this project, including access controls and standard hosting/database security practices.

If you believe there is a privacy or security issue, contact hello@knowmoreindia.com with enough detail for us to investigate. If we identify a reportable breach, we will take reasonable steps to notify affected users and regulators as required by applicable law.

This site is not directed at children, and the subscription form is not intended for children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data, contact us for deletion.

This policy is intended to explain our handling of digital personal data in light of Indian privacy law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and related rulemaking material.

This page is an operational privacy notice, not legal advice. We will update it as the product, processors, or applicable rules change.
