kadva patel samaj dwarka (“we”, “us”, “our”, “the Samaj”) operates the website https://kadvapatelsamaj.store/ (the “Site”) as a community and information resource for the Kadva Patel Samaj. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect from visitors, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
a) Information you provide to us
When you use our Contact form (or any similar form on the Site), we collect the information you choose to submit, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message. We only use this information to respond to your enquiry.
b) Information collected automatically
Like most websites, when you visit the Site our server and hosting provider automatically log certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, pages visited, referring website, and date/time of access. This information is used for security, troubleshooting, and to understand overall site usage — it is not used to personally identify you.
c) Cookies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Necessary/functional cookies — required for the Site to work correctly, including performance and caching cookies (e.g. LiteSpeed Cache) that make pages load faster.
- Advertising cookies — we use Google AdSense to display ads on the Site. Google and its partners use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/ads and opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info/choices.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the Site function and may result in less relevant ads being shown to you.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to enquiries and messages sent through our Contact form;
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and community communication;
- To detect, prevent, and address spam, abuse, or technical issues;
- To display advertising through Google AdSense;
- To comply with applicable law or respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
3. Sharing of Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited information with:
- Service providers who host the Site or help us operate it (e.g. our web hosting provider), who process data only on our behalf;
- Google (AdSense), for the purpose of displaying advertisements, as described above;
- Third-party platforms you choose to use — for example, if you click a WhatsApp chat button or a “Call Now” link on the Site, you leave our Site and that platform’s own privacy policy applies to any information you share there;
- Legal or regulatory authorities, where required to comply with a legal obligation, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of kadva patel samaj dwarka, our users, or the public.
4. Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry and keep a basic record of correspondence, and we delete or anonymise this information when it is no longer needed, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
5. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India), you have the right to:
- Ask us what personal information we hold about you;
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Request deletion of your personal information;
- Withdraw any consent you previously gave, and raise a grievance regarding how your information is handled.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at jiisrail960@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

The Site is intended for a general community audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
