Local Storage Usage
When you select a preferred location (such as a specific district or GBA ward) on Karnata.in, this setting is stored locally on your device using your browser's localStorage. This ensures you don't have to re-enter your location on every visit. This information stays on your device and is never sold or transmitted to third parties.
Log Files & Analytics
Like almost all websites, our hosting servers generate standard access logs. These contain technical details such as your IP address, browser type, referring pages, and timestamp. This data is used strictly for server health monitoring, security, and traffic performance analysis.
Children's Privacy
Karnata.in does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has submitted personal details through our contact form, please notify us at contact@karnata.in and we will promptly remove it.
