Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
PaisaWatch is a free, non-partisan civic tool. This policy explains what data the site collects, why, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site.
No account needed
You can browse everything on PaisaWatch without signing up, logging in or giving us your name. We do not create user profiles.
Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage, for example which pages are popular and roughly where visitors come from. These tools may set cookies or read device information. The data is used in aggregate to improve the site, not to identify you personally.
Advertising
PaisaWatchmay display ads served by Google, through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info/choices.

Comments, polls and email
- Comments: text you post is stored and shown publicly. Please do not include personal or sensitive information in a comment.
- Polls: satisfaction polls allow one vote per device and record only the vote, not your identity.
- Email: if you choose to subscribe for updates, we store your email address only to send those updates. You can unsubscribe at any time and we will delete it.

Your rights
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act and similar laws, you can ask us to access, correct or delete any personal data you have given us, such as a subscription email or a comment. Contact us and we will act on reasonable requests.
