Privacy Policy

At upbocww.com, we take your digital privacy as seriously as we take the welfare of Uttar Pradesh’s construction workers. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle information when you visit our independent informational portal. We are committed to transparency, ensuring you understand that while we help you navigate the UPBOCW system, we prioritize the safety of your personal data above all else.

1. Our Role: An Independent Informational Portal

First and foremost, it is important to understand that upbocww.com is an independent resource. We are not the official Uttar Pradesh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board. We do not process government applications directly, nor do we issue Shramik Cards. Our mission is to provide clear, human-verified guidance to help you use the official government portal (upbocw.in) effectively.

2. Information We Do (and Do Not) Collect

Unlike the official portal, we do not ask for your Aadhaar Number, Bank Account details, or OTPs. We strongly advise all users never to share such sensitive information in the comments section or via email to unofficial sites.

Personal Data You Provide Voluntarily:

If you choose to contact us via our contact form or subscribe to our 2026 beneficiary list updates, we may collect:

  • Name: To address you personally.
  • Email Address: To send you requested updates or responses to your queries.
  • Comments: Information you voluntarily provide in our community discussion areas.

Automatically Collected Technical Data:

Like most modern websites in 2026, we collect minor technical data to ensure our site runs fast and remains secure:

  • IP Address & Device Type: To optimize the mobile experience for our users.
  • Log Files: To track server errors and prevent downtime.
  • Cookies: Small files used to remember your preferences (e.g., language settings) and for basic analytics.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the minimal data we collect strictly for the following purposes:

  1. To Improve User Experience: Analyzing which sections (like “Atal School Admissions”) are most popular helps us write better guides.
  2. To Provide Alerts: Sending you notifications about the latest Shramik Suchi (Beneficiary List) updates.
  3. To Ensure Security: Detecting and blocking spam or malicious attempts to interfere with our portal.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for aggressive marketing or unsolicited phone calls.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to understand how you interact with our content. This includes:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the site to function.
  • Analytical Cookies: Helping us see if our guides are actually helping people find what they need.
  • Advertising Cookies: We may show ads to help keep this resource free. These partners (like Google AdSense) may use cookies to show you relevant content based on your interests. You can opt-out of personalized ads via your browser settings or Google’s Ad Settings.

5. Third-Party Links and Official Portals

Our articles contain direct links to official government websites (e.g., upbocw.in). Once you click these links and leave upbocww.com, their privacy policy applies. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of the official government sites before entering sensitive data like your Aadhaar number.

6. Data Security and NPCI Compliance

While we don’t store your financial data, we advocate for your safety. We provide guides on NPCI Bank Mapping and DBT Verification because we want your funds to be secure. On our own servers, we use SSL encryption (HTTPS) to ensure that any message you send us through our contact form is protected from interception.

7. Your Rights Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP)

As a user in 2026, you have clear rights regarding your data:

  • Right to Access: You can ask us what data we have about you (usually just your email).
  • Right to Correction: You can ask us to update your email or name.
  • Right to Erasure: You can ask us to delete your comment or email from our database at any time.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: If you subscribed to our news alerts, you can unsubscribe with a single click.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our content is intended for construction workers (18+). We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18. If we discover such data has been provided, we will delete it immediately.

9. Changes to This Policy

As the UPBOCW rules and search standards evolve, we may update this policy. We will notify users of significant changes by placing a prominent notice on our homepage.
