Welcome to Srinkil.com (“Website”), a personal blog operated by Srinkil (“I,” “Me,” or “My”). My blog provides informational content on various topics for Your enjoyment and education. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, protect, and disclose Your information when You visit or interact with the Website (the “Service”).
By visiting our website or using the Service, You agree to this Privacy Policy, My Disclaimer, and My Terms and Conditions.
I am committed to safeguarding Your privacy and complying with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) in India. I use Google AdSense, affiliate links, and other third-party ad networks to monetize the Service, but I do not share or sell Your personal data for paid or promotional purposes.
Collecting and Using Your Personal Data
Types of Data Collected

I may collect limited Personal Data when You use the Service, such as:

I automatically collect Usage Data when You visit, including:

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
I use Cookies and similar technologies to enhance the Service and serve ads:

I use the following third-party services:

Sharing Your Personal Data
I share data only as follows:

I do not sell, trade, or share Your Personal Data for promotional purposes.

Children’s Privacy
The Service is not intended for users under 18. I do not knowingly collect data from minors without parental consent. Contact Me if Your child provided data unintentionally.
