Privacy, without the fine-print fog.

Who we are

Chat Pe Charcha is an independent digital media and conversation platform operated from India. For privacy questions, access requests or deletion requests, contact us at support@chat-pe-charcha.online.

Information you choose to share

We may receive information you voluntarily submit through a form on the website, such as your email address when you join the Adda, collaboration details, partner enquiries or job-application information. Please only share information that is necessary for your request.

Technical information and measurement

Our hosting, security and measurement infrastructure may process technical information such as request logs, device or browser details, IP addresses, approximate location, referring pages and interaction events. This information helps the website load reliably, remain secure, understand how the service is used and prevent abuse.

Optional measurement technologies are not a condition of reading our public stories. The optional first-party measurement request is sent only after Google Consent Mode reports that analytics storage is granted or not applicable. Browser do-not-track signals and available consent choices are respected where the relevant technology supports them.

Advertising and Google AdSense

Chat Pe Charcha uses Google AdSense and may use other approved advertising services. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or other identifiers to serve, measure, secure and, where permitted, personalise advertising.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google's consent requirements may require disclosure and consent for cookies or local storage and for the collection, sharing and use of personal data for personalised advertising. Before serving ads to those users, the Google Privacy & messaging CMP must be configured in the AdSense account. The site does not treat simply reading a story as consent.

Cookies and consent choices

Essential technologies may be used for security and core site operation. Advertising, measurement or personalisation technologies may require additional consent or an opt-out depending on a visitor's location. When Google's Privacy & messaging message is applicable and published, visitors can accept, reject or manage the available choices. A visitor can reopen those choices below after the Google consent API is available.

How information is used

Information may be used to provide requested updates, respond to messages, operate and protect the website, measure service reliability, prevent abuse, support advertising where permitted and comply with applicable obligations.

Service providers and external links

We may rely on hosting, database, email, analytics, advertising or other service providers to operate the website. Those providers may process information as needed to provide their services. Links to LinkedIn, Instagram, X, YouTube and other websites are governed by the privacy practices of those platforms. Google's partner-site disclosures are linked above.

Retention, security and your choices

We keep information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, for security, accounting, dispute handling or legal obligations. No online service can promise absolute security, but we use access controls, HTTPS and reasonable technical safeguards for the systems we operate.

You can choose not to submit optional information. If an email update includes an unsubscribe option, you can use it at any time. You may also contact us to ask about access, correction or deletion of information we control, subject to applicable law and reasonable verification.

Policy updates

We may update this policy when the website, advertising stack or its services change. The latest version will remain available on this page with the date of the latest material review.
