Privacy Policy
This site does not require an account and doesn't collect personal information through its calculators or the complaint-draft tool — all of that runs in your browser and is never sent anywhere.
This site uses or may use Google AdSense to show ads. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies generally at aboutads.info. Basic, aggregated analytics cookies may also be used to understand which pages are useful.
You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time. This policy may be updated as the site's features change.
What this policy covers
TNEBPowerCut.in ("we", "this site") is an independent information website about electricity supply in Tamil Nadu. This policy explains what data is collected when you visit, why, and what choices you have. It applies to every page on this domain.
Information we collect
Information you give us
If you use the report-a-power-cut form or write to us, you may provide a district, an area name and a description of the problem. Provide only what is needed; do not send us your electricity bill, identity documents, bank details or passwords. We do not need them and will not ask for them.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard request logs: IP address, browser and device type, referring page and the pages requested. These logs are used for security and to keep the site working.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful and where visitors have trouble. It sets cookies and collects usage data such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, device type and session duration. We do not use it to identify individual visitors. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser.
