Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Community Connections Hub (oilenajori.in) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website. We are committed to transparency and respect for your privacy. This policy applies to all visitors accessing our informational blog, which does not require registration or store personal data in databases.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, certain information is automatically collected through standard web technologies. This includes:

  • IP address and geographic location (derived from IP)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on site
  • Referral source (e.g., search engine or linking website)
  • Standard server log data

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless voluntarily provided through contact forms — and even then, such data is not stored in our systems.

How We Use Information

The information collected is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To understand how visitors interact with our content
  • To improve website performance and user experience
  • To analyze traffic patterns and popular resources
  • To ensure the website functions correctly and securely

We do not use your data for profiling, targeted advertising, or any commercial purpose beyond website operation. No personal data is sold, rented, or shared for marketing.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze site usage.

Types of cookies we use include:

  • Essential cookies: Necessary for website functionality (e.g., session management)
  • Analytics cookies: Used by third-party services to understand traffic patterns (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Preference cookies: Remember language or display settings

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website features but will not prevent access to content.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to support our website operations:

  • Google Analytics: To collect anonymous traffic data and improve site content.
  • Advertising networks: We may display ads via platforms like Google AdSense. These services may use cookies to serve interest-based ads, but we do not control their data practices.
  • Content delivery networks: To ensure fast and secure access to our website.

We do not share personal data with these services. Third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including SSL encryption, secure servers, and regular system updates. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Under applicable privacy laws, including the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 (India), you have the following rights:

  • To access the data collected about your visit (if any)
  • To request deletion of your browsing data from our analytics logs (where technically feasible)
  • To opt-out of non-essential cookies via your browser or cookie consent banner
  • To lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority of India if you believe your rights have been violated

Since we do not store personal data, most requests relate to analytics data, which is anonymized and aggregated. You may also withdraw consent for cookies at any time.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected, we will take steps to delete it immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The latest version will always be posted on this page with the Last Updated date. We recommend reviewing this policy regularly. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on our homepage.
