Privacy Policy — Legal Vidya
📅 Last Updated: June 2026  |  Effective Date: June 2026
At Legal Vidya (legalvidya.online), we genuinely care about your privacy. This page explains in plain language what information we collect when you visit our website, why we collect it, and how we use it. We are not a corporation — we are a small platform built for law aspirants across India, and we believe you deserve to know exactly how your data is handled. Please read this page carefully. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information needed to run this website and respond to your queries. There are two types of information we may collect:

  • Information you give us directly — When you fill our Contact Us form, you provide your name, email address, phone number (optional), and your message. This information is submitted through Formspree and delivered to our email inbox.
  • Information collected automatically — Like most websites, we use Google Analytics and standard Blogger/Google tools that automatically collect certain technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on those pages. This is done to understand how people use our website.
  • Cookies — Our website uses cookies, primarily through Google services like Google Analytics and Google AdSense (if ads are displayed). Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us improve your experience.
2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected strictly for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your messages, queries, or concerns submitted through our Contact Us page
  • To understand which content is helpful to our users and improve the quality of our articles and notes
  • To monitor website traffic and performance using Google Analytics
  • To serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense, if applicable
  • To send important updates related to our notes or services — only if you have contacted us directly
Important: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party under any circumstances. Your data stays with us and is used only as described above.
3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

Legal Vidya may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. These are managed entirely by Google and are subject to Google's own privacy policies.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. We do not have control over the cookies placed by Google AdSense.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time spent, geographic location (country/city level), and device information. This data is anonymous and we cannot identify individual users from it.

If you prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. Legal Updates & Third-Party Content

Legal Vidya regularly publishes Legal Updates sourced from publicly available legal news platforms, official court websites, Bar Council announcements, and trusted legal databases. We do this to keep our users informed about important developments in Indian law.

Disclaimer: We do not claim ownership of third-party news content. We always attempt to credit the original source. If you are a content owner and have a copyright concern, please contact us immediately at contact.legalvidya@gmail.com and we will address it promptly.
6. Links to Other Websites

Our articles and legal updates may occasionally include links to external websites such as official court portals, government sites, or legal news sources. Once you click on those links and leave Legal Vidya, we have no control over those websites and their privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us. Contact form submissions are handled securely through Formspree, which uses HTTPS encryption. However, please understand that no method of data transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We do not store your personal contact details on our website servers. All form submissions are delivered directly to our email and are not retained beyond what is necessary to respond to your query.

8. Children's Privacy

Legal Vidya is an educational platform intended for law students, graduates, and exam aspirants. Our content is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it immediately.

  • Request access to any personal data we may hold about you
  • Ask us to correct or delete your personal information
  • Withdraw your consent to our use of your data at any time
