Privacy, without the wall of confusion.

This Privacy Policy explains how The Gossipers website handles information when you visit. It covers this website only. The Discord server is a separate service governed by Discord’s own terms and privacy policy.

Who we are

The Gossipers is an Indian Discord community. This website is an informational site about the community, with links to join the Discord server. There are no user accounts, comments, checkout flows or member profiles on this website.

What we collect

We do not ask you to create an account or submit personal information through this website. The site does not have a contact form or newsletter signup.

Like most websites, the hosting provider may automatically process basic technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages and timestamps. This data is used for security, reliability and aggregate traffic measurement.

Analytics

The site may use privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics provided by its hosting platform. This is intended to show page views and general traffic patterns, not to identify individual visitors or build advertising profiles. We do not sell visitor data.

Discord invite data

The member and online counters on this site use Discord’s public invite data. The request is made by the website’s server to Discord’s API and returns aggregate community counts. It does not receive your Discord identity, messages or account details.

Cookies and local storage

The website does not set marketing cookies or require cookies for its core features. The hosting provider may use essential security cookies or similar technology to protect the site from abuse. Discord may use its own cookies when you open an invite link, according to Discord’s policies.

Links to Discord and other services

Clicking a join button opens Discord or the Discord website. Once you leave this site, Discord’s terms and privacy policy apply. We do not control Discord’s data practices. The same applies to any other external service linked from this site.

How we use information

• To keep the website available, secure and functional.
• To understand aggregate traffic and improve the content.
• To respond to reports or questions sent through the Discord community.
• To comply with legal obligations where they apply.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Technical data may be processed by the hosting and infrastructure providers that make the site work. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety and rights of the community.

Retention

Technical logs are retained by the hosting provider according to its own retention settings. We do not maintain a separate database of website visitors.

Your choices

You can use browser settings to block cookies, clear local storage or enable tracking protection. Because the site does not have accounts, there is no profile to edit or delete. If you have a privacy question, contact the community through the Discord server.

Children

This website is not directed at children. Discord has its own minimum age requirements, which vary by country. If you are below the minimum age to use Discord in your country, do not use the invite links on this site.

Changes

We may update this policy if the website or its tools change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new date. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.

Contact

Privacy questions can be raised through The Gossipers Discord server. Join the server and use the appropriate support or report channel so the request reaches the right person.
