Last Updated: 9 August 2026

Green Alerts Mausam Sewa (“Green Alerts”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects the privacy of visitors and users of www.greenalerts.in.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information and technical information may be processed when you use Green Alerts, why it may be processed, how it may be shared, how cookies and similar technologies may be used, and how you may contact us regarding your privacy.

This Privacy Policy is intended to provide a clear and transparent description of Green Alerts’ data practices. It should be read together with the Green Alerts Disclaimer, Terms & Conditions, and other applicable website policies.

1. About Green Alerts

Green Alerts Mausam Sewa is an independently operated weather-information and public-dissemination platform providing weather forecasts, weather alerts, rainfall information, agricultural weather information, local weather information and related content and services.

Green Alerts may use information from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), government departments, meteorological organisations, agricultural institutions, research institutions, public authorities and other official or third-party sources, subject to applicable arrangements and source conditions.

Information concerning Green Alerts’ relationship with IMD and the public dissemination of weather information is explained in the Green Alerts Disclaimer.

This Privacy Policy concerns the processing of personal information and technical information associated with the use of the website and related services.

2. Information You Provide Directly

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you use the Contact Us facility, submit an enquiry, provide feedback, communicate with Green Alerts, or use another feature that requests information.

Depending on the particular interaction, information may include:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Telephone or mobile number
  • Village, town, district, state or other locality information
  • Information contained in an enquiry or message
  • Feedback, comments or other information you choose to provide
  • Other information necessary to respond to your request

You should not submit passwords, financial-account information, government identification numbers, payment-card information or other highly sensitive information through ordinary website forms unless Green Alerts specifically provides an appropriate secure method for doing so.

If you provide information to us, you are responsible for ensuring that the information you submit is accurate and that you have the necessary authority to provide it.

3. Information Collected Automatically

When you access GreenAlerts.in, certain technical information may be automatically processed by Green Alerts or by service providers supporting the website.

Depending on the technology and services in use, this may include:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Screen or device characteristics
  • Pages viewed
  • Date and time of access
  • Referring website or page
  • General interaction with the website
  • Approximate geographic information derived from technical information
  • Website performance and diagnostic information
  • Security and technical logs
  • Information relating to errors, outages or other technical events

This information may be used to operate, secure, maintain, analyse and improve the website and its services.

4. Location Information

Green Alerts provides location-relevant weather information.

A user may select a location manually, such as a:

  • Village
  • Town
  • District
  • State
  • Other geographic location

Selecting a location manually does not necessarily provide Green Alerts with the user’s precise device location.

Where a particular feature requests access to the device’s location, the applicable browser or device permission system may ask the user to grant or deny access.

Green Alerts does not require precise device location merely to browse ordinary website content unless a particular feature specifically requests it.

Where precise device-location information is processed, it may be used to provide location-relevant weather or related information and will be handled in accordance with applicable permissions, consent requirements and law.

Approximate location may also be inferred from technical information such as an IP address by Green Alerts or relevant service providers.

14. Data Security

Green Alerts takes reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

Security measures may include appropriate access controls, technical safeguards, monitoring and other measures suitable to the nature of the information and the risks involved.

However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Where consent was provided through a particular website mechanism, Green Alerts will seek to make withdrawal reasonably accessible and proportionate to the method by which consent was provided.

Withdrawal of consent may affect the availability of a particular feature or service.

Withdrawal does not invalidate processing that occurred before withdrawal, and information may continue to be processed where another lawful basis or legal requirement applies.

19. Advertising and Consent Choices

Users should review the choices presented and use the available controls to accept, reject or manage applicable purposes.
