1 Scope & 100% Unofficial Fan Operation

This Privacy Policy outlines how biggbosstelugu.live ("we", "our", or "us") manages visitor interactions, website analytics, and public polling data. We respect your constitutional right to privacy under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act 2023) and global data protection standards.

biggbosstelugu.live is an independent, unofficial fan portal established solely for public opinion polling, entertainment discussions, and Bigg Boss Telugu contestant analysis. The voting conducted on this website is completely unofficial and has no affiliation with Star Maa, Disney+ Hotstar, Endemol Shine India, or Banijay Asia. Votes cast here do not influence official TV broadcast evictions.

తెలుగు వివరణ: ఈ వెబ్‌సైట్ (biggbosstelugu.live) కేవలం బిగ్ బాస్ తెలుగు అభిమానుల వినోదం మరియు ప్రజాభిప్రాయ సేకరణ కోసం రూపొందించబడిన పూర్తిగా అనాధికారిక (100% Unofficial) ఫ్యాన్ పోర్టల్. ఇక్కడ జరిగే ఓటింగ్ కేవలం అనాధికారిక ఫ్యాన్ పోల్స్ మాత్రమే. దీనికి Star Maa, Disney+ Hotstar లేదా ఎండెమోల్ షైన్ సంస్థలతో ఎటువంటి అధికారిక సంబంధం లేదు.

2 Unofficial Voting Data & Anti-Fraud Architecture

To guarantee fair, manipulation-free results in our unofficial fan polls, we enforce a strict 1-vote-per-device rule with multi-tiered fraud screening. Here is exactly what happens when you cast an unofficial vote:

• One-Way Cryptographic Hash: We do NOT store your raw IP address with your chosen contestant. Instead, our voting engine produces an irreversible cryptographic hash derived from network tokens to monitor device uniqueness.
• No Personal Profiling: We do not link poll votes to private government IDs, phone contacts, or external social media profiles.
• Tamper-Proof Audit Log: Each vote generates an anonymous receipt token so fans can verify that their vote was recorded without exposing their personal identity.

3 Voluntary Fan Accounts (Dashboard & Profile)

Visitors may browse news, contestants, and cast votes as guests. If you choose to create a voluntary Fan Account to track your vote ledger and favorite contestants in the Fan Dashboard:

• We collect only your chosen screen name, email address, and a securely hashed password (bcrypt).
• We do not demand phone numbers, national IDs, or social security details.
• You can update your display name, favorite contestant, or password at any time directly in your Fan Dashboard.

4 Cookies, Session Storage & Analytics

We use minimal browser cookies and localStorage exclusively to support platform functionality:

• Essential Cookies: Authentication cookies to keep you signed in to your fan account, and CSRF protection tokens to thwart unauthorized form exploits.
• UI Preferences: Local storage flags to remember dark-mode settings and local vote cooldown countdowns.
• Third-Party Ad Networks & Analytics: Third-party partners (such as Google Analytics or advertising vendors) may deploy cookies to analyze website traffic and present contextual advertising. You may disable third-party cookies via your browser preferences without losing access to voting.

5 Zero Commercial Sale of Personal Information

6 Anti-Abuse, Anti-Bot & Server Security Measures

To maintain website uptime and protect our voting integrity from artificial vote manipulation:

• All website connections run through modern TLS 1.3 / HTTPS encryption.
• Automated bot detectors, rate-limiters, and proof-of-work challenges are deployed to prevent DDoS flooding, automated Selenium/Puppeteer voter scripts, and proxy arrays.
• Any suspicious vote spikes originating from proxy centers are filtered out automatically to preserve honest fan sentiment.
