Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 2026

At Trains PNR Status, your privacy and digital security are our highest priorities. This policy outlines exactly how we handle your information, the infrastructure we use to keep the platform fast and secure, and your rights regarding your data while using our train tracking and PNR utility.

1. The Information We DO NOT Collect

• We do not collect passenger names, exact seat locations, or payment information.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your search queries with third-party data brokers.

2. Standard Server Log Files

Like almost all standard web applications, Trains PNR Status utilizes automated server log files to ensure our infrastructure runs smoothly. When you visit our portal, our servers automatically record basic, non-identifiable technical data.

This logged data includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time stamps.

This information is entirely anonymous. It is used exclusively to analyze traffic trends, administer the site, track macro-level user movement, and gather broad demographic information.

Most importantly, your specific search inputs (like your 10-digit PNR number or exact station code queries) are never tied to these broad demographic log files.

3. Security & Infrastructure (Cloudflare)

To ensure our platform remains lightning-fast and secure from malicious attacks, Trains PNR Status routes its traffic through Cloudflare. Cloudflare may collect standard, non-identifiable web log data (such as IP addresses and browser types) strictly for the purpose of detecting security threats, mitigating DDoS attacks, and ensuring the technical stability of our portal.

4. Analytics & Performance Tracking (Google Analytics)

To understand how travelers use our platform and to continuously improve our user interface, we use Google Analytics. This service uses cookies to collect anonymous, aggregated data regarding page views, time spent on the site, and general geographic regions (e.g., city or state). This data cannot be used to identify you personally.

5. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

To keep Trains PNR Status completely free of charge for all Indian travelers, we use Google AdSense to display advertisements.

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.
• These advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve highly relevant, targeted ads.

You retain full control over your ad experience. You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting your Google Ads Settings.

6. External Links & Official Portals

Our platform may contain outbound links to official government websites (like IRCTC) or established news organizations (like Firstpost or India TV) for your reference. Trains PNR Status is not responsible for the privacy practices, tracking methods, or content of these external domains. We encourage you to read their respective privacy policies upon leaving our site.

7. Children's Privacy

Trains PNR Status is a general audience utility platform designed for adult travelers. Our services are not directed at, nor do we knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in India). If we discover that a minor has provided us with personal data without parental consent, we will immediately delete that information from our servers.

8. Compliance with Local Laws

As a platform serving Indian Railway passengers, we strive to align our data minimization practices with the principles of India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. We process all queries securely, do not mandate user account creation, and ensure that your real-time transit searches remain private and ephemeral.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our technology, legal requirements, or advertising partners. Any updates will be posted directly on this page, and the "Last Updated" date at the top will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally to stay informed about how we protect your transit data.
