Your privacy
Privacy policy
This policy explains the information PunjabSchemes.com may receive when you browse the website or contact us, why it may be processed and the choices available to you.
Effective and last updated: 18 August 2026
Information you provide
If you email us, we receive the email address, name and content you choose to provide. We use it to review and respond to the enquiry, investigate a correction or protect the website. Please do not send Aadhaar numbers, voter IDs, bank details, OTPs, passwords, medical records, identity-document scans or completed government applications.
Technical information
Our hosting and security providers may automatically process standard technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, requested page, referring page, date and time, and error or security events. This information is used to deliver the site, diagnose failures, prevent abuse and maintain security. Technical logs may be retained by the provider according to its operational and legal requirements.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
PunjabSchemes.com uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use the website. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies and process information such as pages viewed, approximate location, browser and device information, referring source, interactions, session timing and an online identifier. IP addresses may be processed by Google as part of providing and protecting the service. We use aggregated reporting to improve navigation, content and website performance; we do not intentionally send scheme-application documents, Aadhaar numbers or bank details to Google Analytics.
You can restrict or delete cookies using your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies or scripts should not prevent access to the scheme guides, although measurement may be incomplete. Google processes analytics data under its own terms and privacy practices; see Google's Privacy Policy. If advertising services are introduced later, this policy and any required controls will be updated.

- To operate, secure and improve PunjabSchemes.com
- To answer messages and investigate correction reports

- To measure readership, navigation and content performance through aggregated analytics

Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that host, secure or support the website and email service. It may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect users or investigate fraud and security threats.
External websites
Scheme guides link to government and other external websites. Their privacy practices are controlled by their operators and are not covered by this policy. Review the destination website's privacy notice before submitting personal information.
Retention and security
We retain correspondence only as long as reasonably needed for the enquiry, corrections record, security or legal obligations. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices and questions
You may ask about personal information you have directly provided to us or request deletion where retention is not required for security, legal or legitimate operational reasons. Email info@punjabschemes.com. We may need enough information to verify and locate the relevant correspondence.
Children's privacy
This website provides general information and is not designed to collect personal information from children. A parent or guardian should contact us if they believe a child has sent personal information to the website.
Policy changes
We may update this policy when the website, service providers or legal requirements change. The revised date will appear at the top of this page. Material changes should be reviewed before continuing to use newly introduced features.
