3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Uttarakhandpedia may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, analyse traffic or provide third-party services.

5. Embedded Content and Third-Party Websites

Our articles may include embedded content or links from third-party platforms, such as YouTube videos, maps or social media services.

Any sharing of personal information should be limited to what is necessary for the relevant purpose and handled in accordance with applicable requirements.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may depend on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, website security requirements and applicable legal obligations.

Comments, messages, server logs and analytics information may have different retention periods depending on the services and settings in use.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information handled through our website against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration.

However, no website or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
