This information is used strictly for technical troubleshooting, platform enhancement, resolving user inquiries, and monitoring system stability.
2Technical Information & Server Logs
When you browse or interact with the website, standard technical connection data may be processed and recorded by our web servers and security layers for reliability, traffic management, rate-limiting, and platform security. This may include:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address.

Please avoid including sensitive personal details, private account numbers, or confidential financial information in feature request titles or descriptions.
4Browser Storage (Local Storage)
We use browser `localStorage` specifically for client-side convenience features:
- **Feedback Draft Auto-Save:** Form inputs in the Feedback Center are saved locally under
desistocks_feedback_draftso you do not lose unfinished drafts if your browser refreshes. This draft is automatically cleared upon successful submission.
Certain interactive tools (such as watchlist managers or custom alerts) communicate with backend services to provide their functionality. You can clear your browser storage at any time through your browser settings.
5Third-Party Advertising & Cookies (Google AdSense)
We partner with third-party advertising networks, including **Google AdSense**, to display advertisements on the platform. These advertisements support the ongoing maintenance and development of DesiStocks.in as a free service.
- Google and its advertising partners use cookies (such as DoubleClick cookies) and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to DesiStocks.in and other websites across the Internet.
- Advertising technology may process technical connection details, including IP address, device characteristics, and ad interaction telemetry.
Managing Your Advertising Preferences
You can personalize or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google My Ad Center.
You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info.
6Cookie Practices & Browser Controls
DesiStocks.in does not currently set proprietary first-party tracking cookies for general website visitors. However, third-party advertising providers (such as Google) place and read cookies as described above.
You can control, block, or delete cookies via your browser settings. If you disable cookies, the core quantitative analytical features of DesiStocks.in remain accessible, though advertising may be less relevant.
7Ad-Blocker Detection
To sustain free access to our financial screeners, calculators, and stock reports, the website employs client-side checks to verify whether advertising assets can be rendered.
These checks run locally within your browser to manage access to advertising-supported platform tools and do not transmit personal profiling information to external servers.
8Third-Party Services
We engage select third-party service providers to facilitate site operations:
- **Advertising & Monetization Services:** Google AdSense and associated reporting tools.
- **Market Data Providers:** External financial data feeds that provide raw pricing, financial statements, and index information to our backend processing servers.
Third-party providers process data in accordance with their respective privacy policies and applicable legal frameworks.
9Data Retention
We retain collected information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was gathered, including:
- Reviewing, diagnosing, and resolving user-submitted feedback or bug reports.
- Maintaining system security, audit logs, and fraud prevention measures.
- Complying with applicable legal, regulatory, or tax obligations.
- Ongoing development and performance improvement of our software platform.
10Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information processed through the website against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic transmission over the Internet or digital storage system is entirely infallible.
11Privacy Requests & User Rights
If you have previously submitted personal information (such as an email address in a feedback ticket) and wish to request access, correction, or deletion of that information, you may submit a request through our Feedback & Support Center under category **General Feedback**. We will review and process your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
