1Introduction

Valley Desk ("Valley Desk", "we", "us", or "our") operates valleydesk.in, a free portal that aggregates Government job notifications, exam results and admit cards specific to Jammu & Kashmir (JKSSB, JK Police, J&K Bank, Judiciary, Teaching, Health and University recruitment). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, why we collect it, and how it is used and protected.

By using valleydesk.in, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the website.

2Information We Collect

We try to collect as little personal information as possible. Depending on how you use the site, the following may apply:

• Contact Form Details: If you use our Contact Us page, we collect the name, email address and message you voluntarily submit, solely to respond to your query.
• Usage Data: Standard technical information such as browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages and referring URLs, collected automatically through server logs and/or analytics tools.
• Local Preferences: Your theme choice (light/dark mode) is stored in your browser's local storage so the site remembers your preference on return visits. This never leaves your device.

We do not require account registration to browse jobs, results or admit cards, and we do not collect sensitive personal data (such as ID proof, application numbers, or payment details) at any point.

3How We Use Your Information

• To respond to messages, questions or feedback submitted through the Contact Us page.
• To understand how visitors use the site, so we can improve navigation, content and performance.
• To detect, prevent and address technical issues, spam or abuse.
• To remember your display preferences (such as dark mode) between visits.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

4Cookies & Local Storage

Valley Desk uses minimal cookies and browser local storage to keep the site functional — for example, remembering your theme preference. If we use third-party analytics (see Section 7), those services may set their own cookies to distinguish visitors.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect certain non-essential features (like the site remembering dark mode), but core browsing, job listings and tools will continue to work normally.

5Third-Party Links & Official Sources

Valley Desk links out to official government and department websites (JKSSB, JK Police, J&K Bank, universities, etc.) for notifications, applications, results and admit card downloads. These external sites have their own independent privacy policies. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices or data handling of any third-party site linked from valleydesk.in.

6Browser-Based Tools

Free tools on Valley Desk — such as the photo/signature compressor and resizer, and calculators — run entirely inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Files you select for compression or resizing are processed locally on your device and are never uploaded to our servers. We do not see, store or have access to these files at any point.

7Analytics & Advertising

We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns and improve the site. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect anonymised usage data. We may also display advertisements served by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense) in the future; such networks may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising through your browser settings or via Google Ads Settings.

8Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the limited information we hold from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9Children's Privacy

Valley Desk is intended for job aspirants generally aged 18 and above, in line with typical Government recruitment eligibility. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

10Your Rights & Choices

• You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have submitted to us (e.g. via the contact form) by emailing us.
• You may disable cookies or clear local storage through your browser at any time.
• You may opt out of analytics/advertising cookies using your browser's privacy settings or opt-out tools provided by the relevant service.

11Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory and operational reasons. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
