Information you give us
If you contact us, send feedback, request a correction or make a privacy request, we may receive your name, email address, page URL, message and any supporting details you choose to provide.
Technical information
When you use the website, limited technical information may be collected automatically, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referral page, pages visited, date and time of visit, approximate location derived from IP address, and basic security logs.
How we use information
We use information to operate and secure the website, respond to messages, review correction requests, improve pages and search, measure general usage, prevent spam or abuse, comply with law, and maintain records needed for website administration.
Public village data
Most village information on Vill is factual public-record style data, such as village names, Census codes, administrative units, population, area, facilities, postal context and bank service context. This is not collected from users and should be verified from official sources before important use.
Cookies, analytics and similar technologies
Vill may use cookies, web beacons, local storage, analytics tools and server logs for website operation, security, performance measurement, search improvement and usage statistics. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features may work less smoothly if cookies are blocked.
Google AdSense and advertising
Vill may show advertisements through Google AdSense or similar advertising services. Google and other advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers or similar technologies to serve ads, limit repeated ads, measure ad performance, detect fraud and, where allowed, show more relevant ads.
Third-party advertising cookies
Third parties, including Google, may place or read cookies on your browser or use web beacons or IP addresses because ads are served on this website. You can learn how Google uses information from partner sites at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and manage Google ad choices at https://myadcenter.google.com/.
Personalized and non-personalized ads
Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your location, consent choices, browser settings and advertising settings. Non-personalized ads may still use cookies or similar technologies for frequency capping, aggregated reporting, security and fraud prevention.
Consent and legal basis
Where consent is required, we or our advertising partners may ask for consent before using certain cookies or processing personal data. Where Indian privacy law applies, we aim to process digital personal data for lawful purposes, with notice and consent where required under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Users outside India
If you access Vill from outside India, local privacy or cookie rules may also apply. For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google may require consent choices through a Google-certified consent management platform before personalized advertising is served.
Data sharing
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with hosting providers, analytics providers, advertising partners, security tools, email providers, professional advisers, authorities where required by law, or other service providers who help us run the website.
Data retention
We keep contact messages, correction requests, privacy requests and technical logs only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which they were collected, website security, dispute handling, legal compliance or record keeping.
Your requests
You may email privacy@vill.co.in to ask about access, correction, withdrawal of consent, deletion or grievance handling where these rights apply. We may need reasonable information to verify and process your request.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information. No website, server or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Vill is a general information website and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly ask children to submit personal data. If you believe a child has sent personal data to us, contact privacy@vill.co.in.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, advertising setup, data practices or legal requirements change. The updated version will appear on this page with a revised date.
