Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how PowerShutdown.in (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website.

1. Information We Collect

Automatically collected information: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on the site, and referring website — collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Information you provide voluntarily: If you contact us through a form or email, we collect whatever information you choose to share (such as your name and email address) solely to respond to your query.

We do not require account creation, and we do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial information, government ID numbers, or precise real-time location without your explicit permission (for example, if you choose to use a “search near me” feature that requests browser location access).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

Operate and improve the Platform (understanding which districts/areas are most searched, fixing bugs, improving load speed)
Respond to contact form submissions or emails
Display relevant advertisements through third-party ad networks
Analyze site traffic and usage patterns through analytics tools

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Google AdSense and Advertising

This website may use Google AdSense and other third-party advertising services to display ads. These third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your 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.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com).
You may also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Third-party ad vendors’ use of tracking technologies is subject to their own privacy policies, not ours.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and improve user experience. This site uses cookies for:

Essential functionality (remembering your search preferences, today/tomorrow tab selection)
Analytics (understanding traffic patterns via tools like Google Analytics)
Advertising (via Google AdSense and similar networks)

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality, but the Platform will still remain usable.

5. GDPR Compliance (For Visitors from the EU/EEA)

If you are visiting this website from the European Union or European Economic Area, you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including:

Right to access — you can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
Right to rectification — you can request correction of inaccurate data
Right to erasure — you can request deletion of your personal data
Right to restrict processing — you can request we limit how we use your data
Right to data portability — you can request your data in a portable format
Right to object — you can object to our processing of your data, including for advertising purposes
Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent (e.g., non-essential cookies), you can withdraw it at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at admin@powershutdown.in. We will respond within the timeframe required under applicable law.

Legal basis for processing: We process automatically collected data based on legitimate interest (site functionality, security, analytics) and, where required (such as non-essential advertising cookies), based on your consent via a cookie consent banner.

6. Data Retention

We retain analytics and log data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, typically governed by the retention settings of the third-party tools we use (e.g., Google Analytics’ default retention periods). Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to address your query, unless you request earlier deletion.

7. Children’s Privacy

This Platform is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU, where applicable), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Third-Party Links

This site may contain links to external websites (TANGEDCO’s official portal, backup-power product recommendations, etc.). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the data we collect from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the tools/services we use. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
