Your privacy and digital security are important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how voterlist.co.in (“Website”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, protects, and strictly limits the retention of information when you use this civic technology platform. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to the terms described here.
voterlist.co.in is an independent civic technology and informational website. It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with the Election Commission of India (ECI), state Chief Electoral Officers, or any government department.
1. Information We Collect & Electoral Data Passthrough
Because we operate as a technical interface for public data, our data collection is strictly limited.
Electoral Search Tools & API Data: When you use our tools to search for your voter details (such as entering an EPIC number), we do not harvest, store, or build databases of your personal voter information. The data request acts as a secure pass-through to official ECI APIs. The resulting data is rendered on your screen for your convenience and is not permanently stored on our servers.
Voluntary Information: We do not collect any personally identifiable information unless it is voluntarily submitted by you (e.g., through a contact email or technical support form). Any information you choose to provide is used solely to respond to your inquiry.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or broker any user information to third parties under any circumstances.
2. Log Files and Technical Data
Like all modern web platforms, we automatically collect certain technical data through server log files to maintain infrastructure stability during high-traffic events. This includes:
- IP address (anonymized where possible)
- Browser type and device operating system
- Date, time, and duration of visit
- Referring and exit pages
- API connection stability logs and usage statistics
This information is used strictly for technical analytics, ensuring server security, preventing DDoS attacks, and managing database performance. It is not used to identify you personally.
3. AI Voter Helper Chatbot & AI Formatting
We utilize Artificial Intelligence to improve the accessibility of complex civic data.
AI Formatting Layer: AI used to format tables and UI layouts does not collect user data.
AI Voter Helper Chatbot: If you interact with our AI Chatbot, the interaction logs, which may temporarily include search queries like EPIC numbers, are retained for a strictly limited period. These logs are used exclusively by our internal development team to debug API routing, improve chatbot response accuracy, and fine-tune the system's helpfulness. This data is never used to train public foundational Large Language models, and all temporary logs are routinely purged from our active systems.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies or similar caching tools to:
- Improve page load speeds and user experience
- Save basic UI preferences (like dark mode or language selection)
- Understand aggregate website traffic patterns
You may disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from accessing the public data tools, though some UI features may load slower.
5. Third-Party Services and Advertising
To keep this technical service free for the public, we may use third-party tools such as:
- Traffic analytics (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Advertising networks
- Cloud hosting and Web Application Firewalls (WAF) Including Cloudflare
Crucially, third-party advertising networks do NOT have access to the specific electoral API data rendered on your screen. Ads are served based on general technical signals sent by your browser, subject to the providers' own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with.
6. Data Security
We implement robust, industry-standard security measures, including forced HTTPS encryption and strict API routing to protect the Website and the integrity of the data pass-through. However:
No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.
While we prioritize protecting our infrastructure, we cannot guarantee absolute protection against highly sophisticated cyber-attacks or unauthorized interception of data traversing the public internet.
Your use of the Website is at your own discretion and risk.
7. External Links
The Website heavily links to official government portals (like voters.eci.gov.in) to ensure users can access authoritative services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, server uptime, or policies of these external government websites or any other third-party links.
8. Children’s Privacy
This Website is an informational tool regarding civic duties and elections, and is therefore not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice to reflect changes in our technology stack or legal requirements. Changes become effective immediately upon posting on this page.
Your continued use of the Website after updates means you accept the revised policy.
