Privacy Policy - kolkata-ff.org

This Privacy Policy document describes the types of information that is collected and recorded by kolkata-ff.org (accessible at https://kolkata-ff.org/) and how that information is utilized to ensure a seamless, secure user experience.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike many portals that require user registrations, kolkata-ff.org is completely open and anonymous. We do not collect or store:

• Personal names, residential addresses, or phone numbers
• Email addresses (unless you choose to write to us directly for support)
• Banking credentials, UPI details, or credit/debit card numbers
• Government-issued identification numbers

2. Standard Server Log Files

kolkata-ff.org follows standard procedures for utilizing web server log files. These files log visitors when they access website pages. The information collected by log files includes:

• Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
• Browser type and operating system version
• Internet Service Provider (ISP)
• Date and time stamp of visits
• Referring/exit pages and page response times

This technical data is not linked to any personally identifiable information. Its sole purpose is analyzing traffic trends, administering server resources, mitigating cyber attacks (such as DDoS), and optimizing page load speeds for mobile and desktop visitors.

3. Community Poll Voting & Anti-Spam Measures

Our website features an interactive Community Prediction Poll on the Tips page where users vote on digits (0 to 9). To prevent automated spam scripts or multiple votes by the same device within a single 24-hour cycle, our system temporarily references the visitor's IP address. This record is used exclusively for rate-limiting votes and is never matched to personal profiles.

4. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any modern website, kolkata-ff.org utilizes cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that store visitor preferences and optimize browsing:

• Essential Technical Cookies: Used to remember your poll submission state so you are not prompted to vote repeatedly.
• Advertising & Analytics Cookies: Third-party advertising vendors (such as Google AdSense) may utilize cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve relevant advertisements to users based on prior visits to our site and other destinations across the web.

Visitors have full control over cookies. You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings at any time.

5. Third-Party Links & External Websites

Our website may occasionally contain links or references to external websites for informational or reference purposes. Please note that kolkata-ff.org has no control over the privacy practices, content, or policies of those third-party sites. We advise all visitors to review the individual privacy policies of external sites before engaging with them.

6. Protection of Minors (Children's Privacy)

Protecting children's digital safety is a priority. kolkata-ff.org is not intended for or directed toward children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from minors. If you believe that a minor has provided information through our contact email, please notify us immediately so that we can promptly delete such records.

7. Consent & Policy Updates

By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. We reserve the right to revise or update this policy periodically to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. Any updates will take effect immediately upon being posted on this page.
