Privacy Policy

Effective date: 26 September 2026
Last updated: 26 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how DrivingLicenceDownload.net handles information when you read our guides, use our navigation tools or follow links to official driving-licence services. We are an independent information website. We are not MoRTH, NIC, Parivahan, Sarathi, DigiLocker, mParivahan, UMANG, an RTO or any other government authority.

Privacy Summary

Our public tools are designed to guide you to official services—not to retrieve government records.
Do not enter your driving-licence number, application number, Aadhaar number, date of birth, OTP, password or MPIN on this website.
Complete identity verification and document retrieval only on the relevant official government platform.
Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may process basic technical logs needed to deliver and protect the site.
Optional analytics or advertising technologies should operate only as described in this policy and according to the cookie choices available to you.

Who Is Responsible for This Website?

The website operator is identified on this site as DrivingLicenceDownload.net. For a privacy question, correction request or grievance, contact:

Subject line: Privacy Request

This contact address must not be used to send licence numbers, Aadhaar documents, OTPs, passwords, medical certificates or copies of identity documents.

Information We Do Not Need from You

DrivingLicenceDownload.net does not need access to your government transport record. Our pages and route-selection tools are designed not to collect or submit:

Driving-licence or learner-licence numbers
Sarathi application numbers
Aadhaar, PAN, passport or voter-identification numbers
Date of birth or residential address
OTPs, passwords, MPINs or security answers
Driving-licence scans, photographs, signatures or QR codes
Payment-card, UPI or bank information

If an official service requires any of these details, enter them only after checking that you are on the correct official domain and that the connection is secure.

How We Use Information

We may process information to:

Provide, secure and troubleshoot the website.
Remember cookie preferences.
Measure site performance and improve guides when optional analytics is enabled.
Prevent spam, fraud, scraping, malicious requests and technical attacks.
Respond to messages, rights requests and complaints.
Meet legal obligations and protect users, the website and third parties.
Display and measure advertising when advertising is enabled and the required disclosures or consent are in place.

We do not sell driving-licence records, because this website does not retrieve or hold those government records.

Cookies, Local Storage and Advertising

The site may use browser storage that is necessary for security, functionality and remembering your privacy preferences. Optional analytics or advertising storage may also be used when those services are enabled and permitted by your selection or applicable law.

If Google advertising is enabled, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Google states that publishers must disclose the use of cookies and, where required, obtain consent. Read our Cookie Policy for categories, controls and provider information.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland may be shown a Google-certified consent-management message when Google advertising products are used. The simple site preference panel is not represented as a substitute for a certified consent-management platform where Google or applicable law requires one.

Official Government Websites and Other External Services

Our guides link to services operated by government departments and independent platforms, including Parivahan, Sarathi, DigiLocker, mParivahan, UMANG, India Post and state transport departments. When you follow an external link:

The destination controls its own collection and use of information.
Its privacy policy and terms apply to the information you submit there.
We do not receive your OTP, password, application details or government document merely because you followed our link.
You should verify the destination domain before entering sensitive information.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of a third-party or government website.

We may share limited information with service providers only when reasonably necessary to operate the website, such as hosting, security, content delivery, analytics, email or advertising providers. These providers may process information under their own terms or under instructions connected with the service they supply.

We may also disclose information when required by law, a valid legal process or a competent authority; to investigate abuse; or to protect the rights, safety and security of users, the website or others. We do not publish private correspondence without a lawful reason or the sender's permission.

Data Retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was processed, including security, troubleshooting, correspondence, legal compliance and dispute resolution. Retention periods can differ:

Cookie preferences remain until they expire, are cleared from the browser or are replaced by a new selection.
Routine server logs may be retained for a limited operational or security period determined by the hosting provider.
Messages may be retained while a request is handled and for a reasonable record-keeping period afterward.
Aggregated statistics that no longer identify an individual may be retained for trend analysis.

Security

We use reasonable organisational and technical measures appropriate to an informational website. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure. You can reduce risk by using official domains, keeping your device updated, avoiding shared-device password storage and never sharing an OTP.

If you believe you accidentally sent sensitive government or identity information to us, contact us promptly and identify the message without repeating the sensitive data.

Children's Privacy

This website provides general transport-service information and is not designed to collect personal data from children. A minor using licence-related information should do so with a parent or lawful guardian where required. Do not send a child's identity documents or government identifiers to this website.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on the law that applies to you and the way your information was processed, you may be able to:

Ask for a summary of personal data being processed and relevant processing information.
Request correction, completion, updating or erasure of eligible personal data.
Withdraw consent for optional processing as easily as it was given.
Raise a grievance about how a request or personal data was handled.
Nominate another individual to exercise applicable rights in circumstances recognised by law.
Complain to the competent data-protection authority after using the available grievance route, where applicable.

To make a request, email contact@drivinglicencedownload.net with the subject Privacy Request. Describe the request and the email interaction concerned. Do not attach Aadhaar, a driving licence or another identity document unless we specifically explain why verification is necessary and provide a safe method.

We may need reasonable information to verify that the request relates to you. Some information may be retained when required for security, legal compliance, fraud prevention or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

International Processing

Hosting, security, analytics, email or advertising providers may process limited technical information in countries other than the visitor's country. When this occurs, the relevant provider safeguards and applicable legal requirements govern the transfer and processing.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy when site features, service providers or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes should be presented clearly and, where required, reflected in the site's consent or preference interface.
