Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 19, 2026

PinCodeFinder ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at www.pincodefinder.net. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our service and what rights you have regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

PinCodeFinder is designed to be a privacy-friendly service. We collect minimal data:

  • Usage Data: We may collect anonymised information about how visitors use our site, such as pages visited, search terms entered, browser type, device type, and referring URL. This data cannot identify you personally.
  • Locally Stored Data: The "Recently Viewed PIN Codes" feature stores your browsing history locally on your own device using browser localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
  • Contact Form: If you contact us via the contact page, your email and message are sent directly to our email address and are not stored on our servers.

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, payment information, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., via the contact form).

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the site to function. These cannot be disabled. Example: cookie consent preference storage.
  • Analytics Cookies: With your consent, we may use Google Analytics or similar tools to understand how visitors use PinCodeFinder. These use anonymised data and do not identify you personally.
  • Advertising Cookies: With your consent, we may serve advertisements through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to personalise ads based on your browsing activity. You can manage Google ad preferences at adssettings.google.com.

You can manage your cookie preferences using the cookie consent banner shown on your first visit, or by visiting our Cookie Policy page.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate and improve PinCodeFinder
  • Analyse usage patterns to enhance the user experience
  • Display relevant advertisements (with consent)
  • Respond to your enquiries when you contact us
  • Comply with legal obligations

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymised, aggregated usage data with:

  • Google Analytics — for usage statistics (with consent)
  • Google AdSense — for displaying advertisements (with consent)

These third parties have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing Google's Privacy Policy for more information.

5. Data Retention

Since we collect minimal personal data, there is very little to retain. Analytics data is retained in anonymised form per the third-party service's standard retention policy. Any email correspondence you send us is retained for up to 12 months for support purposes.

8. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to external websites (e.g., India Post). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

9. Security

We implement reasonable technical measures to protect any information we process. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to use secure networks and keep your browser up to date.
