This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you visit Dr. Chetan, a dental information website operated by Chetan Bhawani in India. It covers this website, its comments and its use of third-party services.
Information collected and why
When you browse the website, the hosting and security systems may record technical information such as your IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, referring pages, access times and error or security events. This information helps deliver the website, troubleshoot problems and prevent abuse.
If you comment, WordPress stores the details you submit, including your name, email address, optional website address and comment, together with technical information used for moderation and spam detection. Approved comments and the name and website link supplied with them can be public. Your email address is not normally displayed with your comment.
If you contact the operator by email, the message and contact details you provide are used to respond to your enquiry and keep a record of the correspondence.
Please keep health information private
Comments are public discussion areas, not a confidential channel for dental care. Please do not post medical records, identifying patient details, photographs containing sensitive information or other information you do not want made public.
Cookies and similar technologies
The website and its service providers use cookies and similar technologies for different purposes:
- Site operation and security: WordPress login and preference cookies support authorised users, and security tools may use cookies to distinguish legitimate activity from abuse.
- Comment convenience: where offered, you can choose to remember your comment details in your browser. WordPress comment cookies normally last one year.
- Analytics: Google Analytics uses identifiers and cookies to help measure visits and interactions.
- Advertising: Google and other advertising providers may use cookies or similar identifiers to deliver, measure and personalise advertisements.
Some cookies expire when you close your browser; others remain until they expire or you remove them. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Doing so may affect login, remembered preferences or other features. Browser controls and the provider choices below apply to the browser or account where you make them.
Google Analytics and Search Console
This website uses Google Analytics 4 through Site Kit to understand which pages people visit and how they interact with the content. Information can include page views, referral sources, browser and device information, approximate location and events such as scrolling or outbound link clicks. Google processes this information to provide reporting. Site Kit is configured to exclude logged-in WordPress users from Analytics.
Google Search Console provides reports about how the website appears in Google Search, including search queries, impressions, clicks and indexing. Google handles information under its own policies.
Read how Google uses information from partner sites and Google’s Privacy Policy. On supported browsers, Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on provides an additional way to disable Google Analytics measurement.
Google AdSense and other advertising
The website displays advertisements through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to personalise ads based on activity across participating websites. Other advertising vendors involved in serving ads may also use cookies and similar technologies.
You can manage Google’s personalised advertising through My Ad Center. For participating third-party advertising companies, visit YourAdChoices. These choices do not necessarily remove all advertising or stop information needed for security, fraud prevention or measurement.
Spam protection, security and profile images
Akismet checks comments for spam. Comment information and associated technical details, such as IP address, browser information and referring page, may be sent to Automattic for this purpose. See Akismet’s privacy information and Automattic’s visitor privacy notice.
Wordfence helps protect the website against malicious traffic and unauthorised login attempts. It may process IP addresses, request details, login activity and security-related cookies or logs. Some security information may be processed by Defiant, the provider of Wordfence. See Wordfence’s Privacy Policy.
Where Gravatar profile images are displayed, a hash derived from a commenter’s email address may be sent to Gravatar to identify an associated profile image. See Automattic’s Privacy Policy.
Hosting, backups and access
The website is hosted using DigitalOcean infrastructure. Website files, comments and other database information may be included in backups used for recovery. Authorised administrators and providers supporting hosting, security, analytics and advertising may process information for their respective functions. Providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live.
Embedded content and external links
Articles may contain embedded videos, images or other material supplied by third parties. Loading or interacting with that material can allow the provider to receive technical information, set cookies or associate activity with an account you hold with that provider. Links to other websites lead to services governed by their own privacy practices.
How long information is kept
Comments and their metadata can remain on the website indefinitely unless removed. Administrator account information is kept while needed to manage the site. Correspondence is retained as needed for the enquiry and related records. Hosting logs, security records, Analytics data and backups follow the settings and retention practices applicable to each service. Removing information from the live website may not immediately remove copies from existing backups.
Your choices and privacy requests
You may request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information held by this website. Requests may require verification of your connection to the information. Some records may need to be retained for security, legal or administrative reasons. Rights and available remedies depend on applicable law. For information controlled directly by Google, Automattic or another provider, use that provider’s privacy controls or contact process as well.
