Privacy Policy

Kashmir Train Timings

Last updated 30 July 2026

We built the service to need as little data about you as possible. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights (including under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023).

1. This website

This website is a set of static pages. It has no accounts, no login and no comment form, and browsing it does not require you to give us anything. Our hosting provider processes standard request data (such as your IP address and browser type) transiently in order to serve the page and to protect against abuse.

The website uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. It sets cookies and sends Google your IP address (which Google truncates), the pages you view, and general details about your device and country. We use this only in aggregate — we do not try to identify you, and we do not use it for advertising. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, or by blocking the script in your browser. The site works normally either way. The app (Android & iOS) contains no analytics.

2. What the app collects

• A device token — a random id created on your device, sent with app requests to prevent abuse and duplicate reports and to block a device that misuses the service. It is pseudonymous: not linked to your name, but not fully anonymous either.
• A push (FCM) token — if you allow notifications, so we can send timing-update alerts.
• “Wrong data” reports (train number + optional note) — to improve accuracy.
• Feedback you send, including a phone number only if you choose to add one.
• Basic technical data (e.g. IP, device type) processed transiently to serve requests and keep the service secure.

We do NOT collect your name, email, precise location, contacts, payment details, or account login (there are no user accounts).

3. Advertising

The app shows ads from Google AdMob to stay free. To serve and measure ads, Google and its partners may collect and use device information — including an advertising identifier, coarse signals, and how you interact with ads — under Google’s own policies. We do not receive this ad data ourselves. We do not control and are not responsible for the content of the ads shown, which come from Google and its advertising partners.

• Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before personalised ads (via Google’s consent prompt); otherwise ads are non-personalised.
• You can reset or limit your advertising identifier in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads).
• You can hide ads temporarily from within the app by watching a short rewarded ad.
• See Google’s partner policies and AdMob data disclosures. The website itself shows no ads.

4. What we do NOT do

• We do not sell or rent your data.
• We (the app operator) do not build an advertising profile of you — though Google’s ad systems operate under their own policies.
• We do not collect your name, email, or precise location.

5. Service providers

We use reputable third parties for hosting, security, app-integrity checks, notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging), and advertising (Google AdMob). Each processes only what is needed for its function, under its own terms and privacy policy.

6. Storage & retention

Tokens and reports are stored only as long as needed for their purpose; reports are cleared after the related data is corrected. Transient technical data is retained per short logging windows. Data may be processed or stored on secure servers that may be located outside your state or country.

7. Security

We use access controls, app verification, private storage, and rate-limiting to protect our systems. No system is perfectly secure, but we hold no sensitive personal data about you.

8. Children

The service is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

9. Your rights

Subject to applicable law (including the DPDP Act, 2023), you may request information about, or deletion of, data associated with your device token. Because it is pseudonymous, you may need to provide your token to help us locate it.

10. Consent & withdrawal

You consent to this policy when you accept it on first launch of the app and by using the service. You may withdraw consent at any time by uninstalling the app; data associated with your device token can be deleted on request (see “Your rights”). You can manage notification and ad-personalisation choices in your device settings.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be shown by the “last updated” date and, where appropriate, an in-app notice. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.

12. Grievance & contact

For any privacy question, request, or grievance — including under the DPDP Act, 2023 — contact us at contact@kashmirtraintimings.com. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.
