Privacy Policy
When you visit mParivahaan.com, we want you to know exactly what information this site collects, why it collects it, and what happens to it. No legal maze. No paragraph-long sentences designed to confuse you. Just a plain, honest explanation.
Who We Are
mParivahaan.com is an independent informational website. We help Indian vehicle owners navigate the official Parivahan Sewa ecosystem — covering topics like e-challans, RC status, driving license applications, and mParivahan app troubleshooting. We are not affiliated with MoRTH, NIC, or any government body.
When this policy says “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to the team behind mParivahaan.com.
What Information We Collect
Information You Give Us Directly
If you use the contact form on our site, you provide us with your name and email address. We use this only to respond to your message. We do not add you to any mailing list, we do not share it with third parties, and we do not store it beyond what is needed to reply to you.
We collect nothing else from you directly. This site has no login system, no user accounts, no subscription forms, and no comment sections. We do not ask for your Aadhaar number, vehicle registration number, phone number, or any other personal or government ID. If any page on this site ever asks you for that kind of information — do not enter it and contact us immediately, because something is wrong.
Information Collected Automatically
Like almost every website on the internet, our site collects some basic technical information automatically when you visit. This happens through cookies and analytics tools and includes things like:
- Which pages you visited and how long you spent on them
- The type of device and browser you used
- Your approximate geographic location (city or region level — not your exact address)
- How you arrived at our site (search engine, direct link, etc.)
This information is aggregated and anonymous. It tells us things like “200 people visited the mParivahan challan page today from Maharashtra” — not who those people are.
We use this data only to understand which guides are helpful, which ones need improvement, and how our site is performing. We do not use it to identify you personally.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site. Google Analytics places small files called cookies on your browser to track visits across sessions.
The data Google Analytics gives us is anonymous and aggregated — we cannot see individual identities. However, Google itself collects and processes this data according to its own privacy terms.
If you prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on or use a browser with tracking protection enabled.

Google AdSense and Advertising
We are in the process of applying for Google AdSense. If approved, Google will serve ads on this site. When that happens, Google may use cookies to show you ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.
We want to be upfront about this: we have no control over which specific ads Google displays. We do not receive any personal information about you from Google’s advertising system — we only receive aggregate information like how many people clicked an ad.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings. You can also opt out through the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your browser. Here is exactly what cookies are used on this site and why:
Analytics cookies — Placed by Google Analytics to understand how our site is used. These are anonymous and do not identify you personally.
Advertising cookies — If Google AdSense is active on this site, Google places cookies to serve relevant ads. You can opt out of these as described above.
Functional cookies — Basic cookies that WordPress uses to keep the site running correctly. These do not collect personal data.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies entirely. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site display.
Third-Party Links
Our guides frequently link to official government portals — parivahan.gov.in, sarathi.parivahan.gov.in, echallan.parivahan.gov.in, and others. Once you click a link and leave our site, their own privacy policies apply. We have no control over those sites and no visibility into what they collect.
We do not link to any site that we believe to be unsafe or deceptive. But as always — when you are on a .gov.in portal, you are under the Indian government’s own terms, not ours.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our contact form, please contact us and we will delete it immediately.
Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect the limited data this site handles. Our site runs on HTTPS, which means data transmitted between your browser and our server is encrypted. The contact form submissions we receive are handled with care and not shared with anyone outside our team.
That said — no website can guarantee absolute security. We recommend you never share sensitive government IDs, financial details, or passwords through any website contact form, including ours.
Your Rights
You have the right to ask us what personal data we hold about you. In practice, the only personal data we could have is an email address you submitted through our contact form. If you want us to delete it, just ask. Write to us through the Contact Us page and we will take care of it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We will not bury significant changes in fine print — if something meaningful changes about how your data is handled, we will make it clear.
Contact
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, or anything related to how this site handles information, you can reach us through our Contact Us page.
We will respond as quickly as we can.
