Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

IFSCCode.online ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how we use and safeguard it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you consent to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Automatically collected: When you visit, our servers automatically record technical information including your IP address (used for rate limiting and abuse prevention), browser type, device type, operating system, the pages you visit, the referring URL, and access timestamps. This is standard log data that most websites collect.

Search queries: We log the search terms entered into our IFSC finder so we can improve autocomplete suggestions and identify popular searches. These queries are stored in aggregate and are not linked to your personal identity.

Information you provide: If you email us or report an error, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address and the contents of your message.

We do not ask you to register an account, and we do not collect financial account numbers, passwords, or payment details. This is an information-only reference site.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use a small first-party cookie named cookie_consent to remember your cookie choice, and a preference cookie for site theme. These are essential for the site to work as expected. Third parties, including Google, may also set cookies as described below. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's Privacy & Terms.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are most popular). Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga and _gid and processes data as described in Google's privacy documentation. You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide and improve our IFSC code search service, to analyse usage patterns and optimise performance, to prevent abuse through rate limiting, and to serve advertisements. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Data Retention

Server logs and aggregated search data are retained only for as long as needed for security, analytics, and service improvement, after which they are deleted or anonymised. Emails you send us are kept only as long as necessary to handle your query.

Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Your Rights and Choices

You may request access to, or deletion of, any personal information you have sent us by emailing contact@ifsccode.online. You can opt out of analytics and personalised ads using the tools linked above, and you can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect how the site functions.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
