We are an independent, non-official platform committed to providing accurate and accessible information about Karnataka ration cards and services available on the Ahara Kar portal.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string to assist in spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies will be set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has directly visited those websites.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have 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, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service or other custom programming functions.
