3. How We Use Your Information
Information submitted through the Contact form is used solely for:
- Reviewing and responding to your request (correction, addition, general enquiry, etc.).
- Updating the website content if your submission is verified and approved.
- Replying to you directly if a response is warranted.
We do not:

4. Third-Party Services
4.1 FormSubmit.co
The Contact form uses FormSubmit.co — a free email forwarding service — to deliver your message to our inbox. When you submit the form, your data is transmitted to FormSubmit.co's servers and forwarded to us. FormSubmit.co's own privacy practices apply to this transmission. We encourage you to review their privacy policy at formsubmit.co/privacy.
We use FormSubmit.co's AJAX endpoint, which means your submission does not redirect you to any third-party page. A honeypot spam filter is used in place of reCAPTCHA to avoid exposing your browser to Google tracking.
4.2 Google Fonts
This website loads fonts (Noto Sans Telugu, Noto Sans Devanagari) from Google Fonts. This causes your browser to make a request to Google's servers, which may involve Google logging your IP address. If you prefer not to have this happen, you can use a browser extension that blocks Google Fonts or browse with JavaScript disabled.
4.3 External links
The website contains links to external sites (e.g. VillageInfo.in, the Yergatla village blog). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.
5. Cookies
Yergatla.com does not set any cookies. There is no cookie consent banner on this site because there is nothing to consent to.
6. Data Retention
Contact form submissions are received as emails in our Gmail inbox. We retain these emails as long as necessary to review and act on your request. You may request deletion of your email by writing to us via the Contact form with the subject "Data deletion request" and we will remove it from our inbox.
7. Your Rights
Regardless of your location, you have the right to:
- Access — Ask us what personal data we hold about you (limited to any email you may have sent us).
- Correction — Ask us to correct any inaccuracy in data we hold.
- Deletion — Ask us to delete your submission from our inbox.
- Object — Object to any use of your data.
To exercise any of these rights, use the Contact form or email nareshyeligeti@gmail.com directly.
8. Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
