Privacy Policy

Introduction

The Department of Hydropower Development (DHPD), Government of Arunachal Pradesh, is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to this website. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website.

You can read public pages without creating an account or signing in. Technical access and security logs are recorded as described below. Access to the content management system is restricted to authorised administrators.

Information Collected Automatically

The web server records technical access and security information, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, request date and time, requested URL, response status, browser information, and referring page where supplied. This information supports website operations, troubleshooting, rate limiting, abuse detection, and security investigations.

IP addresses and request details may relate to an individual or device. Server logs are managed through log rotation. Records needed to investigate security incidents may be retained for that purpose.

Information Provided Voluntarily

If you contact the Department using the published email address or telephone details, your message and contact information may be used to respond to you and address the matter you raise.

Correspondence may be referred to the relevant Government office to address your request.

Cookies and Browser Storage

The content management system uses a Secure, HttpOnly authentication cookie in production. It expires after up to eight hours. Signing out deletes the cookie and invalidates the administrator's existing sessions. Closing the browser alone may not sign you out.

Your English or Hindi language preference is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key dhpd-language. This preference persists across browser sessions until you change it or clear the browser's stored site data.

Security

This website has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of information under our control. HTTPS encrypts the connection between your browser and this website. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted.

External Links

This website contains links to other websites. This privacy policy applies only to the DHPD website. When you follow a link to another website, you are subject to the privacy policy of that website. The Department is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.
