4. Third-Party Service Providers & SDK Disclosures
To provide timely exam alerts, product analytics, and app monetization, Sarkari247 integrates trusted third-party service providers. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. The following third-party partners process limited operational data under strict data protection terms:
- PostHog Analytics: Used to understand app user journeys, screen navigation, feature usage patterns, and error diagnostics to continually improve app stability and user experience.

We employ standard administrative and technical protocols to protect your personal email and queries, including:
- Full SSL/HTTPS encryption across all pages.
- Access restriction measures for servers hosting message logs.
- Routine software updates to patch database vulnerabilities.
Please remember that no transmission method over the internet is completely secure. While we protect your contact query submissions, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.
