Sacchi Awaaz utilizes standard cookies, web beacons, and related tracking scripts to optimize page delivery and support digital publishing operations.

Essential Cookies: Maintain core navigation functionality, layout preferences, and caching performance.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve advertisements based on prior visits to sacchiawaaz.in or other sites across the internet.

Third-Party Advertising Partners (Google AdSense):


Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its advertising network partners to present contextual and interest-based ads to visitors.
Visitors may manage or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or AboutAds Choices.

Browser Control: You can modify browser settings to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling cookies may affect certain interactive site features.

4. Handling of Contact Form Inquiries

Information submitted through our Contact forms or editorial email channels is used solely to:

Respond directly to queries, feedback, or legal notices.

Verify lead submissions and news tips.
Maintain accurate editorial communication archives.

We maintain a strict zero-monetization policy regarding personal contact records; personal details are never sold, rented, or traded to commercial marketing agencies.

5. News Tips, Whistleblower Leads, and Source Protection

As an independent digital journalism platform, Sacchi Awaaz values and protects confidential communication:

Information and materials submitted as news tips are handled under established journalistic standards.

If a source shares sensitive documents or requests confidentiality, Sacchi Awaaz protects source identity in accordance with journalistic ethics and applicable legal provisions.
Voluntary submission of material does not guarantee publication; editorial decisions remain solely within the purview of the editorial desk.

6. Objectives of Data Processing

Information handled through sacchiawaaz.in is processed to:

Maintain, operate, and secure our digital publishing infrastructure.

Analyze reader trends to improve editorial presentation and site performance.
Prevent fraudulent activity, bot exploitation, and cybersecurity threats.
Comply with applicable legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements in India.

7. Third-Party Integrations and Analytics

We engage verified third-party technical vendors for cloud hosting, content delivery (CDN), site performance analytics (such as Google Analytics), and social sharing tools. These third parties access technical data solely to perform delegated technical tasks under standard non-disclosure practices.

8. Embedded Content and Outbound Links

Embedded Media: Our news stories frequently embed videos (such as YouTube), social media posts, interactive charts, and maps. Interacting with embedded elements functions precisely as if the visitor navigated directly to the host platform, subject to that third party's privacy policy.

External Links: Hyperlinks directing readers to external news outlets, reference sources, or official public portals are provided for informational context. Sacchi Awaaz does not control or assume responsibility for the privacy practices of external web domains.

9. Data Protection Safeguards

We implement standard technical, organizational, and administrative controls to secure personal data against unauthorized disclosure, interception, or misuse. However, no data transmission across the public internet or digital hosting facility is unconditionally impregnable; absolute operational security cannot be warranted.

10. Record Retention

Voluntarily submitted communications, inquiry emails, and editorial inputs are retained only as long as necessary to address the initial request, preserve essential newsroom records, or satisfy legal audit obligations.

11. Children’s Online Privacy

Sacchi Awaaz is designed for general news readers and does not intentionally solicit or collect personally identifiable details from minors under the age of 13. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information on our portal without guardian verification, please contact us for immediate review and data deletion.

12. User Privacy Rights

In accordance with applicable Indian data protection frameworks, you have the right to request access to, review of, or correction of personal contact information previously submitted to our platform. All such requests undergo formal identity verification before processing.

13. Newsroom and Public-Interest Considerations

Data handled in the course of authentic journalistic reporting, fact-checking, public-interest inquiries, or editorial publishing is evaluated under established press standards, editorial discretion, and legitimate public-interest legal norms.

14. Revisions to This Policy

We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy to reflect technical updates, publishing enhancements, or legislative compliance. Any revisions will take effect upon posting with an updated "Last Updated" date at the header of this page.
