Privacy Policy
ArthiQuery respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit ArthiQuery.in, how it may be used, and the choices available to you.
Who we are
ArthiQuery is an independent financial calculator and educational information website. In this policy, “ArthiQuery”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the operator of ArthiQuery.in.
For privacy questions, contact us at contact@arthiquery.in.
Information entered into calculators
Most ArthiQuery calculations happen inside your browser.
You do not need to give us your name, telephone number, email address, PAN, Aadhaar number, bank details or account information to use a calculator.
When you use a calculator:
- Your entered numbers are used to calculate the result in your browser.
- A calculation is saved only when you choose the Save option.
- Saved calculation history stays in your browser on that device.
- ArthiQuery’s calculator plugin does not send saved calculation history to the WordPress database.
- PDF and CSV files are created or downloaded through your browser.
- Clearing your browser data may remove saved calculations.
A shared calculation link may contain the assumptions and numbers you entered. Anyone receiving that link may be able to see them. Do not enter or share confidential personal or financial information.
The complete shared URL may also appear in ordinary browser, hosting, security or server logs. Check the link before sharing it.
Information you give us
You may provide information when you email us or use a contact form. This may include:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your message
- Information you choose to include
- Any attachment you voluntarily send
Please do not send bank statements, passwords, card details, Aadhaar numbers, PAN details, medical records or other sensitive documents.
Technical information
Our website host, security services or WordPress installation may automatically process basic technical information, such as:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser and device type
- Operating system
- Pages visited
- Date and time of a request
- Referring page
- Error and security logs
This information helps deliver the website, prevent misuse, investigate errors and maintain security.
Calculator search
When you type into the calculator search box, the search text may be sent to ArthiQuery’s own website server so that matching published calculators can be shown. Search requests may appear in normal server logs.
Analytics
ArthiQuery may use Google Analytics after analytics has been enabled.
Google Analytics can collect information such as page visits, general location, browser type, device type, session information and interactions with the website. We will not deliberately send your name, email address or calculator inputs to Google Analytics.
Where consent is required, optional analytics storage will be used only after you make a choice through the website’s cookie controls.
Advertising
ArthiQuery may display advertising, including Google AdSense advertising.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technology to show, limit, personalise and measure advertisements. Google may use advertising cookies based on visits to ArthiQuery or other websites.
You can manage personalised Google advertising through Google Ads Settings.
Where the law requires consent, advertising cookies and related personal-data processing will be controlled through a consent system. Non-personalised advertisements may still use limited storage for purposes such as frequency limits, security and reporting.
ArthiQuery does not directly sell your contact information for money.

International data transfers
Some providers may process information outside your country. Where required, appropriate legal safeguards should be used for international transfers.
How long information is kept
We keep information only for as long as it is reasonably needed:

- Analytics information follows the retention settings selected in the analytics service.

Children’s privacy
ArthiQuery is not designed to collect personal information from children. Anyone under the age required by their local law should use the website with a parent or guardian and should not send us personal information.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the website and information under our control. However, no website, email service or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
External links
ArthiQuery may link to government websites, regulators, financial institutions or other third parties. Their websites have separate privacy policies, and ArthiQuery does not control how they collect information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, calculators, providers or legal requirements change.
