Privacy Policy

OFAIF – Odisha Financial Awareness & Investment Forum operates the website www.ofaif.in. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed in connection with your use of this website and how it is handled.

This is a primarily informational website. OFAIF does not currently operate a member database, user accounts or a login system as part of this website. The scope of information processing described here reflects the website in its current form.

In future, OFAIF may introduce mechanisms for community participation, article submission or event registration. Where such mechanisms are introduced, a separate privacy notice or updated version of this policy will describe how information provided through those mechanisms is handled.

This website is hosted on third-party infrastructure. When you visit this website, your browser automatically sends technical information to the web server — including your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you request, the date and time of your request, and referring URLs. This information is processed by hosting and infrastructure providers for the purposes of serving the website, maintaining security, diagnosing technical issues and ensuring availability.

OFAIF does not use this technical information to personally identify individual visitors in the ordinary course of operating this website.

This website does not currently use advertising cookies, behavioural tracking cookies or third-party analytics cookies that track you across websites. If technical or functional cookies necessary for the operation of the website are used, they are limited to that purpose.

If OFAIF introduces analytics or other non-essential cookies in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly, and appropriate consent mechanisms will be implemented where required.

OFAIF is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party website. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external website you visit.

Information received by OFAIF — such as email communications — is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was received, or as required by applicable legal obligations. OFAIF does not retain personal information longer than necessary.

OFAIF and its infrastructure providers apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and OFAIF cannot guarantee absolute security.
