Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Scope

At SarkariAge.com ("SarkariAge", "we", "our", or "us"), accessible from https://sarkariage.com/, the privacy of our visitors and aspirants is of utmost priority.

This Privacy Policy sets forth our practices regarding the handling of information received when you access our website, utilize our government recruitment age calculators, read eligibility guides, or communicate with our support desk. It explains your rights under applicable privacy legislation, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) of India and global data protection standards.

2. Zero Personal Identifiable Information (Zero-PII) Architecture

Unlike conventional recruitment platforms that require mandatory phone number registration, email verification, or profile creation, SarkariAge is deliberately engineered as a stateless, client-side educational utility:

• No User Accounts: We do not offer or require account registration, passwords, social logins, or mobile number OTPs.
• Browser-Only Calculation: When you input your Date of Birth (DOB), cut-off dates, and category selection, the date-math algorithms run 100% locally in your client's web browser memory.
• No Server Transmission: Form inputs are never transmitted over HTTP POST/GET requests to our origin servers. We have zero database tables containing candidate names, dates of birth, or exam records.
• Zero Tracking Storage: We do not write your birth date or age verification outputs to persistent localStorage, IndexedDB, or server-readable cookies.

3. Edge Network Server Logs & Diagnostics

When you access any web resource on SarkariAge, standard automated technical telemetry is processed at our edge network provider (Cloudflare, Inc.) strictly for routing, security defense, and infrastructure reliability:

• Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (truncated and anonymized where applicable)
• Browser user-agent string and operating system version
• Date, time stamp, and HTTP response code (e.g. 200 OK, 404 Not Found)
• Referring URLs and requested static asset paths

This diagnostic telemetry is aggregated to mitigate Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) cyberattacks, identify broken links, and optimize edge caching. It is never associated with any individual identity or personal profile.

4. Cookies & Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

To maintain SarkariAge as a 100% free resource for millions of Indian students, we display non-intrusive online advertisements through authorized third-party vendors, primarily Google AdSense.

Your Opt-Out Controls:

• You can opt out of personalized interest-based advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies across multiple networks by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance Consumer Choice or Network Advertising Initiative.
• You can configure your browser (Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge) to reject all third-party cookies or alert you when a cookie is being stored.

5. Compliance with India's DPDP Act, 2023

In accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 of India, SarkariAge complies with the statutory principles of purpose limitation, data minimization, and user rights:

• Right to Access & Information: Users have the right to understand what personal data is processed. As described, we process zero personal data on our servers.
• Right to Correction & Erasure: Because no user records, databases, or profile records are maintained by SarkariAge, there is no personal data residing on our infrastructure to correct or delete.
• Right of Grievance Redressal: Any concerns regarding data protection or site practices can be lodged directly with our designated Grievance Officer detailed below.

6. Protection of Children & Minors

Protecting the online privacy of minors is especially vital. SarkariAge is an informational utility accessible to students preparing for post-secondary and collegiate recruitment examinations (such as NDA, SSC CHSL, and UPSC).

We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or store any personal information from children under the age of 18 years. If a parent or guardian believes that a minor has submitted personal contact information via our support email channels, please notify us immediately, and we will promptly purge such correspondence from our inbox records.

7. External Links & Official Government Portals

SarkariAge frequently provides hyperlinks to official statutory recruitment portals (such as ssc.gov.in, upsc.gov.in, and rrbcdg.gov.in) to assist aspirants in cross-checking official notification PDFs.

Please note that once you follow an external link leaving SarkariAge.com, you are subject to the privacy policies and security terms of that third-party website. We have no authority over and accept no responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or data collection of external websites.

8. Data Security Measures

We employ robust industry-standard safeguards to secure our web infrastructure:

• Strict HTTPS & HSTS: 100% of website traffic is encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3).
• Content Security Policy (CSP): Protection against cross-site scripting (XSS) and code injection.
• Static Generation: The portal is delivered as pre-rendered static HTML, eliminating database vulnerabilities and SQL injection threat surfaces.

9. Grievance Redressal Officer (IT Rules, 2021)

In accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, the designated Grievance Officer for privacy and compliance inquiries is:
