This Privacy Policy explains what information GovtSalarys.com collects from visitors, how we use it, and how we protect it. By using this website, you agree to the terms described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
a) Information You Provide Voluntarily: When you fill out our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name and email address. We only collect what you choose to share with us. We never ask for your government employee ID, salary slip, service details, or any sensitive personal or financial information.
b) Information Collected Automatically: When you visit our website, we automatically collect your IP address, browser type and version, pages visited and time spent on each page, referring URL which is the site that brought you here, and device type such as desktop, mobile, or tablet. This information is collected via cookies and analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
c) Cookies: We use cookies to improve your browsing experience, analyse site traffic, and remember your preferences. You can control cookie settings through your browser at any time. Disabling cookies may affect some features of this site.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to improve the content and functionality of our website, respond to your messages and enquiries, send newsletters and salary update alerts only if you have subscribed, analyse traffic patterns to understand what our readers need most, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do NOT sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party under any circumstances.
3. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services that may independently collect data about your visit.
Google Analytics is used for website traffic analysis and understanding visitor behaviour. Google AdSense is used for displaying relevant advertisements on our pages. Affiliate networks may be used for tracking referral activity where applicable. Each of these third-party services operates under its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing Google’s Privacy Policy and the policies of any other third-party service you interact with through this site.
4. Advertising
We display advertisements through Google AdSense and other advertising partners. These ad networks may use cookies to show you personalised ads based on your browsing behaviour across different websites. This is managed entirely by the ad network and not by GovtSalarys.com. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings page.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. Contact form submissions and newsletter subscriptions are kept for up to 12 months unless you request deletion earlier. Automatically collected analytics data is retained as per Google Analytics default retention settings.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data, request deletion of your personal data, withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time, and lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [privacy@govtsalarys.com] and we will respond within 7 working days.

8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of data transmission over the internet is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
