Last Updated: July 30, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Bhavnagar City. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, https://bhavnagar.city/.

Our website address is: https://bhavnagar.city/.

2. Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

We collect information about you in a few different ways: information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information from third parties.

a. Comments

When you leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (your name, email address, and website). We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

b. Contact Forms

If you use the contact form(s) on our site, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiries and for customer service purposes.

c. Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

d. Cookies

A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website.

We use cookies to enhance your experience. Here’s how:

  • If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

e. Analytics

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors engage with our website.

We use Google Analytics to track and report website traffic. Google Analytics may collect your IP address, but no other personal information is captured by Google Analytics. We use this data to understand our audience and improve our content. You can review Google’s privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

f. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter) may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

3. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users. These may include:

  • Google Analytics

These third parties are required to keep this information confidential and are not permitted to use it for any other purpose.

4. How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

  • If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
  • Contact form entries are kept for six months
  • Analytics records are kept for six months.
