Privacy Policy & Cookie Usage

Privacy Policy

State360 respects your privacy and aims to be transparent about how information may be collected, used and protected when you visit and use this website.

This Privacy Policy explains the types of information that may be collected through State360, how that information may be used, the role of cookies and analytics technologies, and the choices available to visitors.

By using State360, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We May Collect

State360 may collect limited information that helps us operate, maintain and improve the website. Depending on how you use the site, this may include information such as IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location derived from technical information, pages visited, referring pages, date and time of visits, and general website usage information.

State360 does not require visitors to create an account simply to browse general information such as gold rates, silver rates, holidays or power shutdown schedules.

If you voluntarily contact us or submit information through a contact or feedback form, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address and message.

How We Use Information

Information collected through the website may be used to operate State360, understand how visitors use the site, improve page performance and usability, identify technical problems, maintain website security, respond to enquiries and develop new features and services.

We aim to collect and use only information that is reasonably necessary for these purposes.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

State360 may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand visitor activity and improve the overall user experience.

Cookies may also be used by third-party services integrated into the website, such as analytics, advertising or other technology providers. These services may use their own cookies or similar technologies according to their respective policies.

You can manage or restrict cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

Analytics and Usage Data

State360 may use analytics tools to understand general website traffic and usage patterns. Analytics information can help us identify popular pages, technical issues, device and browser trends, and areas where the website can be improved.

Analytics data is generally used in an aggregated or statistical manner to understand website performance rather than to identify individual visitors directly.

Advertising and Third-Party Services

State360 may display advertisements through third-party advertising services. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure or personalize advertising according to their own policies and applicable settings.

Third-party services used on State360 may have their own privacy policies and terms. State360 does not control the privacy practices of external websites or services.

Visitors should review the relevant third-party policies when interacting with those services.

Use of Automation and AI

State360 may use software automation and AI-assisted tools in selected parts of its operational, data-processing and content workflow. These technologies may assist with tasks such as organizing information, processing structured data, identifying inconsistencies, preparing content drafts and improving the presentation of information.

AI-assisted tools are not intended to replace the underlying sources of factual information published on State360. Source data and important published information may be reviewed through appropriate checks before being presented to visitors.

State360 does not intentionally provide AI systems with sensitive personal information for unrelated purposes. Where personal information is submitted directly by a visitor, it is handled according to the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and applicable service requirements.

Information Security

State360 takes reasonable measures to protect information handled through the website against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration or loss. However, no internet transmission or online storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should avoid submitting confidential information through general contact or feedback forms unless it is specifically required and appropriate.

Data Retention

State360 may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including website operation, security, analytics, legal requirements, dispute resolution and legitimate business needs.

The retention period may vary depending on the type of information and how it is used.

Third-Party Websites and Links

State360 may contain links to external websites, services or information sources. These websites operate independently and may have different privacy policies and data practices.

State360 is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of external websites. Visitors should review the privacy policy of an external website before providing personal information.

Children's Privacy

State360 is a general information website and is not specifically directed at collecting personal information from children. We do not knowingly request unnecessary personal information from children through the website.

If you believe that personal information has been submitted by a child and should be removed, please contact us with the relevant details so that the matter can be reviewed.

Your Choices

Depending on the information and technology involved, visitors may be able to manage cookies through browser settings, control certain advertising preferences through third-party services, or contact State360 regarding information they have voluntarily submitted.

Some technical information may be necessary for the website to function correctly and therefore cannot always be disabled without affecting website operation.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

State360 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in website functionality, data practices, technology, legal requirements or third-party services.

Any updated version will be published on this page with the revised information. Visitors are encouraged to review this page periodically.

Contact Us

If you have questions, concerns or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the handling of information on State360, you can contact us through the contact details provided on the website.

Important Privacy Note

State360 is an information platform providing location-based information such as gold and silver rates, holiday calendars and scheduled power shutdown details. The website may use third-party technologies for analytics, advertising, security and other operational purposes.

This Privacy Policy is intended to explain our general data-handling practices in clear language. It does not override the privacy terms or policies of third-party services that may operate independently on or through the website.
