RTO websites, such as
Parivahan, generally do not collect personal information automatically but record technical data (IP address, browser type) for analytics. Personal data provided via forms is used only to process specific requests (licenses, registration) and is shared with authorities as required by law.
Key Aspects of RTO Privacy Policies:
- Information Collection: No personal information is gathered unless you choose to provide it for services.
- Purpose limitation: Data is used strictly for fulfilling user requests and, in some cases, for improving website functionality.
- Data Sharing: Data in the National Transport Repository (Vahan/Sarathi) is shared with government agencies, while public access is regulated through, for example, API-based sharing.
- Security: Measures are implemented to protect data from unauthorized access, though no online system is perfectly secure.
- Cookies: Most RTO websites do not use cookies to track personal information.
