Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes what data Dream11 Today collects, how we use it, and the choices available to you. The site is an editorial publication; the data we collect is the minimum needed to run a website and respond to reader feedback.

Data we collect

Server logs

Our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, user agent, request URL, timestamp, response status) for security and debugging. These logs are retained for 30 days and not shared with third parties.

Cookies

The site uses a minimal set of cookies for session management and analytics. No advertising cookies are placed on first-party pages. Any third-party cookie would be disclosed in this privacy notice; at the time of writing there are none.

Contact form data

When you use the contact form, we receive the message you send and any optional metadata (your name, email if you provide it). We use the message to respond; we do not add you to a marketing list.

Data we do not collect

• No advertising identifiers
• No cross-site tracking pixels
• No fingerprinting scripts
• No personal-data purchases from data brokers

Third-party services

The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and analytics from a privacy-respecting provider (configured to anonymise IP addresses). Neither service receives personal information from us; both are governed by their own privacy policies.

Your rights

You can request a copy of any data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Use the contact page. We respond within 30 days.

Children

This site is written for adults (18+) and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

Changes to this policy

We update this policy when our practices change. The "verified on" stamp on the about page reflects the most recent review of all editorial standards, including this privacy policy.

Editorial addendum: a closing reflection

This guide is part of the Dream11 Today editorial library, an independent publication not affiliated with Dream11, Dream Sports or any real-money gaming operator. The desk's purpose is to publish research-first, evidence-led guides that help Indian adults decide whether real-money fantasy fits their situation and, if so, how to navigate the platform's product, legal and account flows with as few avoidable mistakes as possible.

Every guide on this site follows the same editorial standards: claims are sourced where they are not common knowledge; volatile information (bonus terms, scoring rules, legal status) carries a "verified on" stamp and is reviewed within 30 days; commercial links carry rel="sponsored nofollow" and an adjacent disclosure; and the editorial position is unaffected by commercial relationships. The standards apply equally to the most casual beginner guide and to the most technical APK safety walkthrough.

If you have read this far, you are already doing the editorial work the desk exists to encourage. The next step is to apply what you have read: set a deposit cap on day one; bookmark the operator's official channels; bookmark the responsible-play page; keep a notebook of every contest; re-read the standards after every month of play. Habits compound; predictions do not.

For corrections, sourcing questions or disclosure queries, use the contact page. We aim to respond within seven working days. For product support, use the operator's in-app flow (Help → Contact support) — the desk does not have access to the operator's account systems and cannot resolve product issues.

Finally, a reminder: real-money fantasy is entertainment, not income. The platform's rake structure means the average player loses money over time; no honest publication can promise a profit. Treat every contest entry as spent money; set a hard monthly cap; step away the moment the experience stops being fun. If the platform is no longer working for you, the responsible-play guide explains how to opt out cleanly.

Data retention in detail

The site retains server logs for 30 days for security and debugging; cookies are session-scoped or analytics-scoped and expire within 12 months; contact-form messages are retained until the conversation closes plus a 12-month audit window. Aggregated, non-identifiable analytics data may be retained longer for trend analysis. The retention periods are designed to balance privacy with operational needs; they are reviewed annually and may be revised when practices change.

International data transfers

The site does not transfer personal data outside India. The hosting provider stores data in India; the analytics provider is configured to anonymise IP addresses and store aggregated data in India; the font provider (Google Fonts) receives the request URL but no personal data. The privacy policy is designed to keep personal data within Indian jurisdiction; any future change to this policy would be disclosed on this page before it took effect.

How to exercise your rights

Under Indian privacy law, you have the right to request a copy of any data we hold about you, to ask us to correct inaccurate data, and to ask us to delete data that is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected. To exercise any of these rights, use the contact page. We respond within 30 days; if your request requires more time, we will explain the delay and provide a revised timeline.

Specific scenarios

If you ask us to delete your contact-form messages, we delete the message body and your identifying metadata (your name and email if you provided them). We retain the date of the conversation and the topic category for audit purposes, but the retention does not identify you. If you ask us to confirm whether we hold any data about you, we respond with a description of the data categories we hold and the retention periods for each. If you ask us to correct inaccurate data, we make the correction and confirm it in writing.

Security practices

The site uses HTTPS for all public traffic; the TLS certificate is issued by a trusted certificate authority and is renewed automatically. The hosting provider maintains server hardening, intrusion detection and regular backups. Access to the control panel is restricted to the editorial team; passwords are stored using a one-way hash. We do not store payment card data, government identifiers or other high-sensitivity data on the site; such data, when required for editorial work, is held only for the duration of the relevant task.

Why we publish this policy in plain language

Most privacy policies are written in legal language that obscures rather than illuminates. The desk has chosen to publish this policy in plain language so that every reader can understand what data is collected, how it is used and what choices are available. Where the plain-language version and the legal version differ, the legal version applies — but the desk commits to keeping the two aligned. If you spot a discrepancy, the contact page is the fastest way to flag it.

What "no advertising" really means

The site does not run advertising of any kind. There are no display ads, no sponsored content slots, no affiliate widgets that look like ads, and no retargeting pixels. The site is funded by disclosed affiliate commissions (which are placed in context as commercial relationships, not disguised as editorial content) and by voluntary reader support. If the site ever accepts advertising, the change will be disclosed on this page before it takes effect; readers who do not wish to support advertising-funded editorial work can request a refund of any voluntary contribution.

How the site handles abuse reports

If you believe the site is collecting data in a way that violates this policy, the contact page is the fastest way to report it. The desk responds to abuse reports within 7 working days. Verified violations are corrected promptly, with a short editorial note on this page explaining what was wrong and what was changed. Unverified reports are investigated; the desk will explain the investigation outcome even when the report does not result in a policy change.

Cookies in detail

The site uses cookies for three purposes: session management (so the contact form remembers your message as you type); analytics (so the desk knows which pages are useful and which need improvement); and security (so the site can detect and block abuse). None of these cookies contain personal data; the session cookie expires when you close your browser; the analytics cookie expires after 12 months; the security cookie expires after the session ends. If you would prefer not to receive any cookies, your browser's privacy settings can block them; the desk respects your choice.

How we handle data breaches

If the site suffers a data breach that affects your personal data, the desk notifies affected readers within 72 hours of discovery, in line with Indian cybersecurity rules. The notification includes a description of what data was affected, what the desk is doing to address the breach, and what steps affected readers can take. The desk also notifies the relevant regulator within the timeframes required by Indian law.
