Privacy Policy

Location data

The current-location feature is optional. It runs only after your browser prompts you and you grant permission. When you do, your device shares approximate geographic coordinates with us. We send those coordinates to a geocoding service solely to determine the matching area and PIN code, and we return the result to your browser.

We do not store your coordinates, associate them with your identity, or use them for advertising. If you deny the permission, you can still search and browse the directory normally.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure processes standard request logs — IP address, browser type, referring page and timestamp — to serve pages, maintain security and diagnose problems. These logs are retained only for a limited period.

Cookies and analytics

My Location Pincode uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to measure how the site is used. Depending on the tags enabled, Google may set cookies and collect information such as your IP address, browser, device and the pages you view, so we can understand how the site is used and improve it. This data is not used to identify you personally. Third-party services we use to show advertising may also set their own cookies — see “Advertising” below and the Cookie Policy for details.

Advertising

My Location Pincode may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. We do not receive your personal information from these cookies and do not use the location you share with our lookup feature for advertising.

• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
• Learn how Google handles data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
• Where the law requires it (for example for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), we ask for your consent before personalised advertising cookies are used.

Third-party services

We rely on a hosting provider to serve the site, Google's Geocoding API to convert coordinates into place names, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for measurement, and Google AdSense to show advertising. These providers process data on our behalf or under their own privacy policies, and only as needed to deliver their service.

Your choices

• Decline or revoke location permission at any time in your browser settings.
• Block or clear cookies and local storage in your browser.
• Contact us to ask what, if anything, we hold that relates to you.

Children

My Location Pincode is a general-audience reference tool and is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the site evolves; the “last updated” date above reflects the current version. Questions can be sent to mylocationpincode@gmail.com or via the contact page.
