Privacy Policy

Citizen Square is published by FutureCompaz Private Limited, LIG B 454, Dr A.S. Rao Nagar, Secunderabad, Hyderabad, Telangana 500062. We collect as little personal data as possible.

What we collect

• Your language choice and the state edition you read or picked last, stored in cookies on your device for up to a year, so that the site opens in your language and the national front page shows your state's news first. They hold only the language and the state's name.
• Your internet address and browser details, which our hosting provider records in its server logs to keep the site secure and running. These logs are kept for a short time and are not used to identify you.
• What you send us when you write to us, for example about a correction or a complaint: your name, email address and message. We use it only to reply to you and to keep the records the law requires for complaints.

Editors who sign in to our editing tools also get a sign-in cookie. Readers never need to sign in.

What we do not do

• We do not sell or rent your data.
• We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, or reading statistics that identify you. The ads on our pages are our own; their links tell the advertiser that the visit came from Citizen Square, and nothing about you.
• If we add an advertising network, such as Google AdSense, we will update this page first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

Photos and other services

Many photos on our pages are served by Wikimedia Commons, so your browser connects to Wikimedia's servers to show them, under Wikimedia's own privacy policy. Weather forecasts and official alerts are fetched by our servers, not by your browser.

Your rights

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask to see, correct or erase your personal data, or withdraw a consent you gave, by writing to privacy@citizensquare.in. We reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our reply, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

Our site is meant for general readers, and we do not knowingly collect children's personal data.
