Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 03, 2025

1. Introduction Welcome to India Pacific Post (https://indiapacificpost.com). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

By using our website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

a) Comments When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

b) Media If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

c) Cookies We use cookies to enhance your experience.

  • Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies.

  • Consent Cookies: We use the CookieYes plugin to manage your consent preferences. A cookie is stored to remember your choice (Accept/Reject) regarding data tracking.

3. Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

We use trusted third-party services to improve functionality. These services may collect limited data:

  • Social Media Sharing (Sassy Social Share): We use the “Sassy Social Share” plugin to allow you to share content on social media platforms like X (Twitter), WhatsApp, and Facebook. This service may collect your IP address, web browser User Agent, and store a cookie on your browser to ensure the buttons function correctly. This data is not sold to third parties.

  • Push Notifications (OneSignal): We use OneSignal to send news alerts and notifications. If you opt-in to receive notifications, OneSignal collects your IP address and a unique device identifier to deliver messages. You can unsubscribe from these notifications at any time via your browser settings.

  • Analytics (Google Site Kit): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., which articles are most popular). This data is anonymized and does not personally identify you.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos from YouTube, tweets from X, maps). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

5. How Long We Retain Your Data If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile.

6. Your Rights Over Your Data If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

7. Security of Your Data We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures (including SSL encryption and security plugins) to help protect your personal information. However, please remember that no electronic transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
