Privacy Policy

DailyStarLife.com

First Published: December 18, 2025 · Your privacy is taken seriously here

Your privacy matters to DailyStarLife. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit DailyStarLife.com, how that information is used, who it may be shared with, and what your rights are with respect to your personal data. This policy is designed to comply with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, as well as applicable international standards including GDPR principles.

DailyStarLife is operated solely by Supreet Singh, based in Mohali, Punjab, India. This site does not run a business in the traditional sense — it is a personal blog. However, as a responsible publisher seeking Google AdSense approval and other monetisation in the future, I commit to handling your data with full transparency and care.

3. How We Use Your Data

Data collected by DailyStarLife is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To understand how readers find and use DailyStarLife, so I can improve the content and experience
  • To respond to emails and queries submitted by readers, creators, or rights holders
  • To monitor the technical health and security of the website
  • To display relevant advertising (when Google AdSense is live) — Google handles this targeting, not DailyStarLife directly
  • To comply with any applicable legal obligations

What Your Data Is NOT Used For

  • DailyStarLife does not use your data for direct marketing without your consent
  • DailyStarLife does not build individual user profiles for commercial profiling
  • DailyStarLife does not share your email correspondence with any third party without your permission

4. Google Analytics

DailyStarLife uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect anonymised data about how visitors use this website.

Data collected by Google Analytics includes:

  • Which pages you visit on DailyStarLife and in what order
  • How long you spend on each page
  • How you arrived at DailyStarLife (search engine, social media, direct link)
  • Your general geographic location (country/city — not your exact location)
  • Your device type, browser, and operating system

IP Anonymisation: Google Analytics is configured to anonymise IP addresses on DailyStarLife. Your full IP address is not stored by Google Analytics in connection with your visit to this site.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

DailyStarLife has applied for Google AdSense and intends to display Google-served advertisements when approval is granted. This section explains what that means for your privacy.

📢 Current Status (as of December 2025)

Google AdSense is NOT currently active on DailyStarLife. No advertising cookies are currently being set. This section describes what will happen when AdSense goes live. The Privacy Policy will be prominently updated and the cookie consent banner will be activated before AdSense is enabled.

When AdSense Is Live

Google AdSense uses cookies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to DailyStarLife and other websites. Specifically:

  • Personalised advertising: Google may use cookies and data from your browsing history to show you ads relevant to your interests. This is Google’s advertising technology, not something DailyStarLife controls at an individual level.
  • Third-party vendors: Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to DailyStarLife and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Cookie types used by AdSense: These include DoubleClick cookies and Google advertising cookies for frequency capping, aggregate ad reporting, and combating fraud and abuse.

How to Opt Out of Personalised Advertising

  • Visit Google Ads Settings to opt out of personalised advertising from Google
  • Visit aboutads.info to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies
  • Use your browser’s cookie settings to block or delete advertising cookies

Note that opting out of personalised ads does not mean you will see no ads — it means the ads you see will not be tailored based on your browsing history.

6. Third-Party Services

DailyStarLife uses the following third-party services that may process data about your visit:

Each of these services has its own privacy policy and data practices. DailyStarLife is not responsible for how these third-party services collect, use, or process your data beyond the description above.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

DailyStarLife does not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. Your data may only be shared or disclosed in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: Third-party services (as listed in Section 6) receive data as a necessary part of their function (e.g. Google Analytics receives site visit data). These providers have their own privacy obligations.
  • Legal requirements: I may disclose data if required to do so by Indian law, court order, or government authority. This includes compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000.
  • Protection of rights: I may disclose data where necessary to investigate potential violations of these Terms, to protect the safety of any person, or to defend against legal claims.

In all other cases, your data stays with DailyStarLife and its authorised service providers only. I will never sell your email address or contact information.

8. Data Retention

  • Google Analytics data: Retained for 26 months by default in Google Analytics, after which it is automatically deleted. This can be adjusted in analytics settings.
  • Email correspondence: Retained as long as reasonably necessary to address the query. Emails relating to corrections or copyright matters may be retained longer for record-keeping purposes.
  • Server logs: Basic server access logs are retained by the web hosting provider per their standard policy. DailyStarLife does not independently retain these logs beyond the hosting provider’s standard retention period.

9. Your Rights

Under applicable Indian law and as a matter of good practice, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by DailyStarLife:

  • Right to know: You have the right to know what personal data DailyStarLife holds about you
  • Right of access: You may request a copy of any personal data held about you
  • Right to correction: You may request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Right to deletion: You may request deletion of your personal data in circumstances where there is no legitimate reason for its continued processing
  • Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent (e.g. newsletter subscription, if introduced), you may withdraw consent at any time
  • Right to object: You may object to processing of your data for direct marketing purposes

To exercise any of these rights, please email newslink85@gmail.com with subject “Privacy Request” and a description of your request. I will respond within 30 days.

Note on cookie-based data: For data collected via Google Analytics and advertising cookies, the most effective way to exercise your rights is directly through Google’s privacy tools and your browser’s cookie settings, as described in Sections 4 and 5.

10. Children’s Privacy

DailyStarLife.com is not directed at children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. DailyStarLife’s content covers entertainment and creator economy topics suitable for general audiences, but the site is not specifically designed for children.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to DailyStarLife, please contact newslink85@gmail.com and I will promptly delete any such information.

11. External Links

DailyStarLife articles contain links to external websites (YouTube, Instagram, news sources, etc.). Once you leave DailyStarLife.com and visit an external site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. Each external website has its own privacy policy, and I am not responsible for their data practices. I encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit via a link from DailyStarLife.

12. Security

I take reasonable technical precautions to protect DailyStarLife.com from unauthorised access and data breaches. These include:

  • SSL/HTTPS encryption for all pages on DailyStarLife.com
  • Regular WordPress security updates and plugin maintenance
  • Use of strong, unique credentials for site administration

However, no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, I cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe a security incident has occurred involving DailyStarLife, please contact newslink85@gmail.com immediately.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy will be updated in the following circumstances:

  • When Google AdSense is approved and advertising cookies go live — this will trigger a mandatory update and cookie consent banner
  • When any new data collection feature is introduced (newsletter, comments, etc.)
  • When applicable Indian or international privacy law changes in a way that affects this site

Changes will be reflected in an updated “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. For significant changes (particularly around advertising), I will add a prominent notice to the homepage for 30 days. Your continued use of DailyStarLife.com after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
