Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 October 2026

This policy explains how INKannada.Net, at https://inkannada.net, handles information when you browse our Kannada cinema database, watch embedded videos, save favourites, submit reviews or contact us. For questions or privacy requests, email contact@inkannada.net.

How Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services

Information we handle

• Messages and submissions: information you choose to send, such as your name, email address, message, rating and review. A submitted display name, rating and review may be public; do not include private contact details in public text.
• Technical information: hosting, security and enabled measurement services can process IP addresses, browser and device information, requested URLs, timestamps and diagnostic records.
• Preferences: favourites, theme choices and consent settings can use cookies or local browser storage. Clearing storage may remove guest favourites or saved preferences.

Why information is used

Information is used to operate and secure the website, remember requested features, respond to messages, review submissions and corrections, understand website use through enabled analytics, and support advertising where it is enabled. We do not require visitors to provide personal details simply to read the public database.

Cookies, local storage and choices

Essential storage can support site security and features you request. Other technologies may support analytics, embedded media and advertising, depending on which services are enabled and your choices. See our Cookie Policy. You can manage cookies in your browser and use any consent controls presented on the site. Where consent is required, optional processing must follow that choice; reading this policy is not consent.

Google advertising, including AdSense

Where Google advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on previous visits to this website or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to show ads based on visits to this and other sites on the Internet. Personalised and non-personalised advertising can involve storage, measurement and fraud-prevention technologies, subject to applicable consent requirements.

You can manage Google’s personalised advertising through My Ad Center. You can also find participating third-party advertising opt-outs at YourAdChoices. An opt-out does not necessarily remove advertising. Availability depends on your browser, device, region and provider. Where other ad technology providers are used, their details and choices should be available in the advertising consent notice or provider disclosures.

Analytics and site administration

On the homepage checked on 18 October 2026, Google tag/Google Analytics scripts and Burst Statistics scripts were present. These measurement services can receive technical and interaction information according to their configuration. Consent controls and provider settings determine optional processing where applicable. You can ask about the current configuration at contact@inkannada.net. The presence of this disclosure does not itself grant consent.

The website has analytics and Google Site Kit integrations. Depending on configuration, enabled services may process visit events, device/browser details, referring pages and network identifiers to help measure use and maintain the site. Installed integrations do not mean every measurement service is active on every page. Google explains its practices in its Privacy Policy.

YouTube and other external services

Pages may show YouTube thumbnails, embedded players and links to other websites. Loading thumbnails or interacting with a player can contact Google’s servers and disclose technical information such as your IP address and browser details. A privacy-enhanced player does not eliminate all data transfers. These providers process information under their own policies. See Google’s Privacy Policy and the privacy notice of any external site you visit.

Reviews, moderation and public information

Reviews may be checked for spam, abuse, irrelevant material, copyright concerns and privacy issues. An email supplied with a review is not intended to be shown as part of the public review. Information you put in the public review text can be seen and copied by others. Celebrity biographies describe public professional information; contact us if a record is inaccurate or improperly includes private information.

Service providers and disclosures

Hosting, security, backup, analytics, embedded-media and advertising providers may receive information needed for their respective functions. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect the website, users or others. Some providers process information outside your country; their applicable privacy and transfer arrangements govern that processing.

Retention and security

Messages, reviews and associated records are kept for the purposes described here, including handling follow-up requests, security and applicable obligations. Retention varies by record and service; browser storage can remain until it expires or is cleared. Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no online service can promise absolute security.

Your privacy requests

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or other handling of your personal information. Email contact@inkannada.net with the relevant page or submission and the request. We may ask for enough information to verify your connection to it; do not send passwords, government identity documents or sensitive information unless a secure, necessary process is agreed. Where consent is the basis for optional processing, use the consent controls provided or contact us about withdrawing it. Browser and third-party account controls are separate.

Children

This is a general-audience cinema information website, not a service directed at children. Children should not submit personal information without appropriate parent or guardian involvement. A parent or guardian can contact us about information a child may have submitted.

Changes and contact

The date above identifies this version. Material changes to site features or data practices may require an updated policy and additional notices or choices. Contact contact@inkannada.net for questions about this policy.
