Welcome to NIRNAY TV (https://nirnaytv.com). We are deeply committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled responsibly, transparently, and securely. This comprehensive Privacy Policy has been created to help you understand exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over your personal data. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.
1. Who We Are
NIRNAY TV is a fast-growing digital news and media platform headquartered in Odisha, India. We are dedicated to delivering timely, accurate, and impactful news coverage across local Odisha news, national Indian affairs, international events, politics, sports, entertainment, business, technology, lifestyle, and more. Our mission is simple — Every Hour, Every Story. As the operator of this website, NIRNAY TV acts as the data controller responsible for your personal information collected through this platform.
2. Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors who browse the website, users who submit comments or contact forms, subscribers to our newsletters or notifications, and anyone who interacts with our content, social media embeds, or third-party integrations. It does not apply to external websites or third-party services linked from our website.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Information You Provide Directly: full name, email address, phone number, message content and username/display name when you comment, contact us or subscribe.
3.2 Automatically Collected Information: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, referral URL, pages visited, time and date of visit, time spent on pages, click behaviour and screen resolution.
3.3 Cookie and Tracking Data: session identifiers, user preferences, authentication tokens and cached browsing preferences. See Section 6.
3.4 Analytics and Performance Data: aggregated and anonymized data such as traffic statistics, popular article reports, bounce rates and geographic distribution of readers.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to operate and improve the website; personalize content; respond to inquiries and send comment-reply notifications; deliver opt-in newsletters and alerts; detect spam and prevent fraud; comply with legal obligations; and, in the future, support relevant advertising in line with this policy.
5. Comments Section
When you comment we collect your name, email, optional website URL, comment content, IP address, browser/device details and timestamp. Comments may be moderated, approved, edited or removed under our community guidelines. If you use Gravatar, your profile image may appear beside your comment. Approved comments are stored for as long as the article remains published.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We may use essential, preference, analytics, security and (in future) advertising cookies. Some cookies may be set by third-party services such as Google Analytics, YouTube or social platforms. You can disable, delete or block cookies through your browser settings, though some features may stop working.
7. Embedded Content from Third Parties
Pages may include embedded content (YouTube/Vimeo videos, social posts, Google Maps, external images, news-wire content). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the external site directly and may set cookies, collect your IP/device data and track interactions. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Google, YouTube, Meta and X.
8. Third-Party Services and Tools
We may use Google Analytics, Google Search Console, anti-spam tools (such as Akismet), content delivery networks, our hosting provider, and — in the future — advertising partners such as Google AdSense. These services may process limited data such as IP addresses to operate effectively.
9. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information for marketing. We may share data with trusted service providers, when required by law, during a business transfer, or to protect the rights, safety and property of NIRNAY TV, its staff and readers.
10. Data Retention Policy
We retain personal data only as long as necessary. Indicative periods: comment data — while the article is published; contact-form submissions — up to 12 months; IP address logs — up to 6 months; analytics — up to 26 months; newsletter — until you unsubscribe; security logs — up to 12 months.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correction, deletion, objection, data portability and withdrawal of consent. To exercise any right, contact us through our Contact Us page. We may verify your identity and will respond to legitimate requests within 30 days.
12. Data Security
We use SSL/TLS encryption, access controls, regular security reviews, firewall protection and secure hosting. No online platform can guarantee 100% security; in the event of a breach that may affect your privacy, we will notify you as required by law.
13. Children’s Privacy
NIRNAY TV is a general news platform not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Parents or guardians who believe their child provided personal information should contact us for prompt deletion.
14. Links to External Websites
Our pages may link to external websites, news sources, government portals or social platforms for information only. NIRNAY TV is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.
15. International Users
NIRNAY TV is operated from India. If you access the site from outside India, your data may be processed and stored in India or in countries where our providers operate. By using the site, you consent to such transfers with appropriate safeguards where required.
16. Do Not Track Signals
Because there is no universally accepted DNT standard, our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals in a standardized way. You can still control data through cookie settings and third-party opt-out tools.
17. Newsletter and Email Communications
If you subscribe, we use your email to send news updates and announcements. You can unsubscribe anytime via the link in any email. We do not share your email without consent and follow responsible email practices.
18. Social Media Integration
Our site may include social sharing buttons (Facebook, X, WhatsApp, Telegram). When used, those platforms may collect data about your activity under their own policies. We also maintain official social pages governed by those platforms’ policies.
19. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy at any time. Significant changes will update the Effective Date, be noted on our homepage for a reasonable period, and (where applicable) be sent to newsletter subscribers. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
20. Grievance Officer
In accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and related rules, grievances related to processing of your personal data may be addressed to our designated Grievance Officer through our Contact Us page. We aim to resolve grievances within 30 days.
