Samachar Wave respects your privacy. This Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this Policy.

1.1 Information you provide

Emails you send us (e.g., questions, correction requests, guest posts).
Any files or details you voluntarily share.

1.2 Information collected automatically

Device and browser details, IP address, approximate location, pages viewed, time on page, referring URLs.
Cookies and similar technologies that help remember preferences and measure performance.

1.3 Content from third parties

Embedded content (e.g., videos, social posts) may collect data as if you visited their site. Their privacy policies apply.

2) How We Use Your Information

Analyze traffic, performance, and trends.
Detect, prevent, and address technical or security issues.

3) Cookies & Tracking

Cookies help us remember preferences and understand how the Site is used. You can control cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may impact site functionality.

4) Analytics & Advertising

We may use analytics and/or advertising services (for example, audience measurement, interest-based ads). These providers may set their own cookies and receive usage data from your browser. You can usually limit personalized ads in your ad settings or through your browser’s privacy controls.

If we enable additional ad partners or analytics tools in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required, obtain consent.

5) Legal Bases (EEA/UK Visitors)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we process personal data under these bases:

Consent (e.g., non-essential cookies).
Legitimate interests (e.g., site security, basic analytics).
Contract (e.g., responding to your requests).
Legal obligation (e.g., compliance with laws).

6) Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with:

Service providers (hosting, analytics, email) under confidentiality terms.
Legal and safety purposes (to comply with law or protect rights).
Business changes (e.g., merger/transfer), where this Policy would continue to apply to the successor, or you’ll be notified.

7) Data Retention

We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes in this Policy, then delete or anonymize it, unless a longer period is required by law.

8) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9) Your Rights

Depending on your region, you may have rights to access, correct, update, delete, restrict or object to processing, and to data portability.

To exercise rights, email info@samacharwave.com with details of your request.
If consent is the basis, you can withdraw it at any time (this won’t affect prior processing).

California (CCPA/CPRA): You may have the right to know, delete, and limit the use of personal information. We do not “sell” personal information as defined by CCPA/CPRA.
EEA/UK: You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

10) Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal data, contact us to remove it.

11) International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We take steps to ensure appropriate protections consistent with applicable law.

12) Links to Other Sites

Our pages may link to external websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their privacy policies.

13) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” will reflect the latest version. Significant changes will be communicated on this page (and, where required, by additional notice).
