Nepal Postal Codes is an independent hobby project created by Rokaiya. The website provides Nepal-focused postal code information and related postal details to help visitors find and use postal codes more easily. The website is not affiliated with, operated by, endorsed by, or officially connected to the Government of Nepal.
This Privacy Policy explains how Nepal Postal Codes may collect, use, and handle information when you visit and use the website. It is written to help you understand what information may be collected, why it may be collected, how it may be used, how cookies and similar technologies may be involved, how third-party services may process information, and how you can contact the website with privacy questions.
Please note that Nepal Postal Codes is a public information directory. You can use most of the website without providing personal information.
1. Purpose of this Privacy Policy
The purpose of this Nepal Postal Codes Privacy Policy is transparency. When you visit a website, some information may be provided directly by you (for example, when you send a message through a contact form), and some information may be processed automatically by the website, the hosting environment, or technical services that support the website.
This policy is intended to help you understand:
- What information you may choose to provide
- What technical information may be processed automatically
- How information may be used to operate and improve the website
- How cookies and similar technologies may be used by the website or by third-party services
- How to contact the website about privacy questions or requests
2. Information We May Collect
A. Information Provided by Visitors
Nepal Postal Codes provides a Contact Us page where visitors can submit messages. If you voluntarily submit the contact form, the website may receive information such as:
- Name

Visitors may contact the website to:

Information submitted through the contact form is used to understand and respond to your request and, where relevant, to review the information you reported. Submitting a correction request does not mean the change will be published automatically. Corrections may be reviewed and may require verification.
Please avoid including sensitive personal information in your message. For a postal code correction, it is usually enough to share the location details and the postal information you believe is incorrect.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files (or similar technologies) that can be stored on your device, or accessed from your device, by websites and certain third-party services. Cookies and similar technologies can be used for different purposes, such as:
- Essential website functionality
- Security and fraud prevention
- Remembering preferences (for example, language or display settings, if available)
- Analytics (understanding how the website is used)

- Measuring website or advertising performance
Nepal Postal Codes may use cookies, and third-party services used on the website may also use cookies or similar technologies. The exact cookies and technologies used can change depending on what features and services are enabled.
For more details about cookies and how they are used on this website, please review the separate Cookie Policy (if available on the website).
6. Google AdSense and Advertising (If Enabled)
Nepal Postal Codes may display advertising. If Google AdSense (or similar third-party advertising) is enabled on the website, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Display advertisements
- Measure advertising performance (for example, which ads were shown and how they performed)
- Support ad personalization where applicable
- Limit repetitive advertisements
- Understand interactions with ads (for example, clicks or views)
Advertising providers, including Google, may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. Nepal Postal Codes does not control how Google or other advertising providers operate their advertising systems, what cookies they use, or how they personalize ads.
If advertising is not currently active on the website, this section describes what may occur if it is enabled in the future.
7. Analytics
Nepal Postal Codes may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited most often, what type of device is used, or how visitors arrive at the website. Analytics tools, when used, may process information such as pages viewed, approximate usage patterns, browser or device information, and referral information.
Because analytics configurations can change over time, and because different tools can be used, this policy does not name a specific analytics provider unless it is confirmed and disclosed on the website.
If you want to understand whether analytics are currently in use, you can check the website’s cookie or consent information (if available) or contact the website through the Contact Us page.
8. Third-Party Services

- Web hosting and infrastructure
- Security and performance services
- Spam prevention tools (for example, for contact form protection)
- Contact form delivery or email delivery services
- Analytics services
- Advertising services
- Performance or content delivery services
If a third-party service processes information, it may do so according to its own privacy policy and terms. Nepal Postal Codes aims to use services that are appropriate for a small independent website, but service providers and configurations may change over time.
Nepal Postal Codes does not automatically include or use any specific third-party provider unless it has been enabled as part of the website’s setup.
9. Information Sharing
Nepal Postal Codes does not sell personal information to advertisers or unrelated third parties.
Information may be shared or processed in the following limited ways:

- Legal and safety reasons: Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect the website, prevent fraud or abuse, address security threats, or protect the rights and safety of the website owner, visitors, or others.
Nepal Postal Codes does not share personal information broadly or for unrelated purposes.
10. Data Retention
Information may be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. This can include:

- Legal or administrative requirements where applicable
Retention practices can vary depending on how the website is configured and which services are enabled. Nepal Postal Codes does not promise that every message or technical log is kept for a specific fixed period, and does not claim that all information is deleted automatically after a set number of days.
11. Data Security
Nepal Postal Codes uses reasonable measures to protect information handled through the website. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use caution when submitting information online and avoid sending sensitive personal information through the contact form.
12. External Links
Nepal Postal Codes may contain links to external websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to Nepal Postal Codes.
If you follow a link to another website, that website may have its own privacy policy and data practices. Nepal Postal Codes does not control the privacy practices of unrelated third-party websites.
