Privacy Policy

Arcnet.in respects your privacy and is committed to protecting any personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, who else receives it, and what choices you have.

Last updated: 27 October 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you visit arcnet.in, we may collect the following:

• Non-personal information: browser type, device type, IP address, operating system, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and referring or exit pages, used for analytics and site performance.
• Personal information, only where you provide it yourself: for example your name and email address when you use the contact form or subscribe to the newsletter.

2. How We Use the Information

We use the information we collect for these purposes:

• To operate, maintain and improve the website and its content.
• To respond to messages you send us.
• To send the newsletter, where you have subscribed to it.
• To understand how readers use the site, so we can improve it.
• To display advertising, where advertising is shown.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Arcnet.in and the third-party services described below may use cookies and similar technologies to recognise returning visitors, remember preferences, measure how the site is used, and support advertising.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect how parts of the site work.

4. Advertising and Third-Party Vendors

Arcnet.in may display advertising supplied by third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense. Where that advertising runs, the following applies:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to arcnet.in or to other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet. Google explains this in its advertising policy.
• You can turn off personalised advertising from Google at any time in Google My Ad Center.
• You can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising through the aboutads.info choices page, or, in Europe, through Your Online Choices.
• How Google handles data from sites that use its services is set out in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

These vendors operate under their own privacy policies, and we do not control what they collect. Arcnet.in also links to other websites; once you follow a link, that site’s privacy policy governs your visit, not ours.

5. Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which articles readers find useful and how they reach the site. Google Analytics sets cookies and processes information such as your IP address, approximate location, device and browser. We use this only in aggregate; we do not use it to identify individual readers.

6. Data Security and Retention

We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information you share with us. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We keep personal information only as long as it is needed for the purposes described here, or as required by applicable law. Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, which removes their address from our list.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data you have submitted to us.
• Request correction of information that is inaccurate.
• Request deletion of your personal information.
• Object to your information being used for a particular purpose, including advertising.

Depending on where you live you may have further rights, for example under the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, or under the California Consumer Privacy Act in the United States. We apply the rights listed above to every reader, wherever they are. To exercise any of them, contact us using the details in section 10.

8. Children’s Privacy

Arcnet.in is written for a professional and general adult audience. It is not directed at children under 13, or under the minimum age set by the law that applies where you live, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will remove it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. When we do, the date at the top of this page changes, and significant changes are announced with a notice on the site. Your continued use of arcnet.in after an update means you accept the revised policy.

10. Contact Us

Questions about this Privacy Policy, or about how your information is handled, can go to contact@arcnet.in, or through our contact page. A person reads everything that arrives, and we aim to reply within two working days.
