At RealWhile, accessible from https://www.realwhile.com (“RealWhile”, “we”, “us” or “our”), the privacy of our visitors is one of our main priorities. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to all pages, articles, guides, reviews and download links published on RealWhile.
By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the website. If you have any questions, contact us at mail@admarq.in.
1. Who We Are
RealWhile is an independent, daily updated Indian blog. We publish informational content on government services and welfare schemes, AI tools and AI prompts, technology, mobile applications and software, finance and banking, jobs, shopping and product recommendations, and general news and information. The website is supported by display advertising (including Google AdSense) and affiliate partnerships.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information you give us voluntarily
- Your name and email address when you contact us by email or through a contact form.
- The content of your messages, feedback, correction requests or complaints.
- Your name, email address and comment text when you leave a comment on a post.

2.2 Information collected automatically
When you visit RealWhile, our servers, plugins and third-party partners may automatically collect certain technical data, such as:
- IP address (which may be anonymised or truncated) and approximate location (city/state/country).
- Browser type and version, device type, operating system and screen resolution.
- Referring website, pages visited, time spent on pages, links clicked and date/time of visit.

2.3 Information we do NOT collect
We do not ask for, and you should never send us, sensitive personal information such as Aadhaar numbers, PAN, bank account or card details, UPI PINs, OTPs, passwords, ration card numbers or government login credentials. Our government service guides only explain procedures; we never process any application on your behalf. If anyone claiming to represent RealWhile asks for such information, it is a fraud – please report it to mail@admarq.in.

- To track affiliate referrals so that we can earn commissions from qualifying purchases.
- To moderate comments and to detect and prevent spam, fraud, abuse and security incidents.
- To comply with applicable laws, legal requests and to protect our rights.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable data protection laws require a legal basis, we process personal data based on: your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies and personalised ads), our legitimate interests (running and securing the website, analytics and improving content), the performance of a request you made (responding to your message), and compliance with legal obligations. Indian users are protected under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and we process your data in line with these laws. Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and California have the additional rights described below.

- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.

7. Advertising Partners
Some advertisers on our site may use cookies, JavaScript and web beacons in their respective advertisements and links that appear on RealWhile. These are sent directly to your browser, and the advertisers automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns and/or to personalise the advertising content you see. RealWhile has no access to or control over these cookies. Please consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more information about their practices and how to opt out.
8. Affiliate Links
Some articles – especially product recommendations, shopping guides, app and software guides and AI tool reviews – contain affiliate links (for example, the Flipkart Affiliate Program, app referral programs and other affiliate networks). When you click an affiliate link, the merchant or affiliate network may place a cookie on your device to track the referral. If you make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not receive your payment details or order information from these partners. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.
9. Analytics
We may use Google Analytics, Jetpack Stats, Google Search Console or similar tools to understand traffic and usage patterns. These tools collect information such as pages visited, time on page and approximate location, typically in aggregated form. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
10. Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment. Comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically.
11. App Download Links and Third-Party Websites
RealWhile publishes links to mobile applications (for example, on Google Play Store, Apple App Store or official developer websites), government portals and other third-party websites. When you click these links, you leave our website. Those websites and apps have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for their content or practices. We strongly recommend that you read the privacy policy and requested permissions of any app before downloading or installing it. We do not host APK files or modified apps.
12. Embedded Content
Articles may include embedded content (for example, YouTube videos, images, social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if you had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We may share information only:

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Emails and correspondence are generally kept for up to 24 months unless a longer period is needed for legal reasons. Comments are kept until they are deleted. Server and security logs are rotated regularly.
15. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, including HTTPS encryption, security plugins and regular updates, to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
