Privacy Policy

India Post Trackings operates the website at indiaposttrackings.com (referred to in this Policy as “the Website”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). We are an independent, privately operated online platform that provides free parcel tracking tools and informational guides related to India Post services.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to India Post, the Department of Posts, the Ministry of Communications, or the Government of India in any way. India Post trademarks and brand names referenced on this Website remain the property of the Department of Posts.

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors, users, and individuals who interact with our Website. By using the Website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy.

We collect two types of information: information you provide voluntarily, and information collected automatically when you use the Website.

Information you provide:

• Tracking numbers you enter into our tracking tools to look up consignment status
• Your name and email address if you use our contact form to send us a message
• Any other information you choose to include in a message or enquiry sent to us

Information collected automatically:

• Browser type, operating system, and device type
• Pages visited, time spent on each page, and navigation paths through the Website
• Referring website or search query that brought you to the Website
• Approximate geographic location based on IP address (country or region level only)
• Standard access logs including IP address, date, and time of visit

We use the information we collect strictly to operate and improve the Website. We do not use your information for advertising profiling, nor do we sell it to third parties under any circumstances.

We never use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects on you.

Our Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience and analyse site usage. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website.

Types of cookies we use:

• Essential cookies: Required for the Website to function. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality such as our tracking tools.
• Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymous statistical data about how visitors use the Website. This helps us understand which pages are most useful and where we can improve.
• Preference cookies: Store your choices such as language preferences or tool settings so the Website works as expected on return visits.

We do not use advertising cookies or allow third-party advertisers to place cookies on the Website.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Website. For more information on managing cookies, visit your browser’s help documentation.

To operate the Website effectively, we use certain third-party services. Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data.

• Analytics providers: We may use services such as Google Analytics to collect anonymised usage statistics. These tools use cookies to track aggregate behaviour and do not identify individual users by name or personal details.
• India Post tracking system: When you enter a tracking number, a query is sent to India Post’s publicly accessible tracking database to retrieve the consignment status. This interaction is subject to India Post’s own data practices at indiapost.gov.in.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers: Our Website is hosted on third-party servers. These providers may process technical data such as IP addresses as part of normal web hosting operations.
• Email service providers: When you contact us via email, your message is processed through standard email infrastructure. We do not use third-party email marketing platforms.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

We take the security of your information seriously. The Website uses HTTPS encryption to protect all data transmitted between your browser and our servers. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to prevent unauthorised access, loss, or misuse of any data we hold.

Tracking numbers entered into our tools are used in real time to fetch results and are not retained in a permanent database linked to your identity. Contact form submissions are retained only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and are then deleted.

Server access logs, which include IP addresses and timestamps, are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes and are then automatically deleted or anonymised.

While we implement appropriate security measures, no method of transmission over the internet is 100 percent secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or from the Website.

Depending on applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding information we hold about you. These may include:

• Right to access: You may request details of any personal information we hold about you.
• Right to correction: You may ask us to correct any inaccurate information we hold.
• Right to deletion: You may request that we delete personal information we hold about you, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Right to object: You may object to certain uses of your information, including analytics-based processing.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where we process your information based on consent (such as contact form submissions), you may withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact section below. We will respond to all requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

This Website is not directed at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us through the contact form or any other means, please contact us immediately and we will promptly delete that information.

The tracking tools on this Website are suitable for general audiences and do not collect age-specific information from any user.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information. Your continued use of the Website after any changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.

We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent, and we will take reasonable steps to notify you of significant changes where required.

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act 2000, the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules 2011, and any other applicable data protection legislation in force.

Any disputes arising from or related to this Privacy Policy shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of India.
