How We Protect Your Privacy on Utsav World™ #

Privacy is fundamental to trust. This addendum explains how your data is handled specifically in the social networking context—beyond what’s in our main Privacy Policy.

The Simple Truth #

  • You control what you share: Choose who sees your posts—public, friends only, custom lists.

  • We don’t sell your data: Your information is not sold to advertisers or third parties.

  • Ads are based on context: You’ll see ads based on what you’re viewing, not your personal data (unless you consent).

  • Friends and followers: Be thoughtful about who you connect with.

  • Delete anytime: You can delete your account and data.
