Gems of BJP (“we“, “us“, or “our“) operates the website gemsofbjp.com (the “Site“). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit or interact with our Site.

We are committed to transparency and respect your privacy. This Site is an independent, citizen-driven archive that documents publicly available information on political events, governance, and related matters in India.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information. The types of information we may collect include:

  • Automatically Collected Information (Usage Data): When you visit the Site, our servers may automatically log your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This helps us understand Site usage and improve performance.
  • Information You Voluntarily Provide:
    • When you contact us via the Contact form or email.
    • When you submit evidence or reports through the “Submit Evidence” feature (you may choose to do so anonymously).
  • Publicly Submitted Content: Any evidence, documents, or reports you submit may be reviewed, moderated, and (if approved) published on the Site. We strongly encourage anonymous submissions where possible.

We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as caste, religion, health data, or biometric information) unless it forms part of publicly submitted evidence related to the Site’s purpose. Even then, we process it only to the extent necessary and lawful.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
  • To moderate and publish submitted evidence (where appropriate) as part of the public archive.
  • To respond to your inquiries or communications.
  • For internal analytics to understand visitor trends (no individual profiling for marketing).
  • To comply with legal obligations or protect the rights and safety of the Site and its users.

We do not use your data for targeted advertising or sell personal data to third parties.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

We may share information only in limited cases:

  • With trusted service providers (e.g., web hosting, analytics tools like Google Analytics, or email services) who help operate the Site and are bound by confidentiality.
  • When required by law, court order, or government authority (including law enforcement requests).
  • To protect the Site from abuse, fraud, or security threats.
  • In the event of a merger, acquisition, or similar corporate change (with notice where feasible).

Submitted evidence that is published becomes public content and may be viewed, shared, or cited by anyone.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site may use essential cookies for functionality (e.g., remembering preferences or login sessions if any). We may also use analytics cookies to understand traffic patterns.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality.

We do not use tracking for cross-site advertising.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored on secure servers, primarily in India or with providers compliant with applicable Indian laws.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Submitted evidence is retained as long as it serves the Site’s archival purpose or as required by law. You may request removal of your personally identifiable submissions (where technically feasible and not already public).

6. Your Rights (Under DPDP Act, 2023)

As a data principal under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate data.
  • Withdraw consent (where consent was the basis for processing).
  • Nominate another person to exercise your rights in case of your demise.
  • File a grievance or complaint.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timelines prescribed by law.

Note: Once content is published publicly on the Site, we may not be able to remove all traces if it has been shared externally.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately.

8. International Users

The Site is primarily intended for users in India. If you access it from outside India, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in India, subject to Indian laws.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top will be revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
