Policies

Last updated: August 27, 2026

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what Pervaaz.com collects, why we collect it, how it may be used, and the choices available to visitors. It applies to this website and to messages sent directly to us.

Who Is Responsible For The Site

Pervaaz.com is operated by the founders, referred to in this policy as Pervaaz, we, us, or our. Privacy questions may be sent to hello@pervaaz.com.

The bracketed owner name and postal address must be replaced before this page is published.

Information You Choose To Provide

We collect information that you voluntarily send to us. This may include your name, email address, message, photographs, article feedback, correction requests, and any other information you include in a communication.

We do not currently offer email newsletters or account registration. If we introduce either feature, we will explain what information is required, how consent works, and how to unsubscribe or close an account before collecting that information. Contacting us does not enroll you in marketing messages.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the site, servers and service providers may automatically receive technical information. This can include your Internet Protocol address, approximate location derived from that address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, time of access, interaction data, and diagnostic records.

We use this information to deliver pages, keep the site secure, understand broad readership patterns, diagnose errors, and improve content. We do not use ordinary traffic records to identify a visitor by name.

Cookies And Similar Technologies

Pervaaz and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, web beacons, tags, and similar technologies. These tools can remember preferences, measure traffic, prevent fraud, limit repeated advertising, and support advertising services.

You can manage cookies through your browser and, where available, through the consent or privacy controls displayed on the site. Blocking some technologies may affect site functions. More information appears in our Cookie Policy.

Advertising And Google AdSense

We plan to display advertising through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons, Internet Protocol addresses, and similar technologies as a result of ad serving on this website.

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to Pervaaz and other sites on the internet. Other authorized advertising vendors or networks may also use cookies when their services are active.

Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. Visitors can manage personalized advertising through Google My Ad Center. Information about other advertising choices is available from YourAdChoices and Your Online Choices.

Analytics And Site Performance

We may use analytics and performance services to understand aggregated traffic, popular pages, device categories, and technical problems. These providers may process online identifiers and usage information under their own terms and privacy practices.

We use analytics to improve the site rather than to make decisions about a person’s employment, credit, insurance, housing, health, or legal rights.

How We Use Information

We use information to provide and maintain the site, respond to messages, review corrections, protect against spam and abuse, measure readership, improve articles, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our terms. We may also use information to establish or defend legal claims.

Where a law requires a legal basis, processing may rely on consent, performance of a requested service, compliance with law, or our legitimate interests in operating a safe and useful publication.

How Information Is Shared

We may share information with service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, advertising, email delivery, data storage, and site maintenance. They receive information only for the services they provide and are expected to protect it appropriately.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect people or wildlife, investigate fraud or security problems, or protect our rights. If the site or its assets are transferred, relevant information may be included in the transaction subject to applicable law.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some privacy laws may define targeted advertising or the use of certain advertising technologies as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising even when no money is exchanged for personal information. Where required, the site will provide a consent or opt-out control for those activities.

Regional Privacy Choices

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland may be shown a consent message before certain advertising or storage technologies are used. When required for Google advertising, we use a Google-certified consent management platform that works with the applicable transparency framework.

Residents of certain United States states may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, and to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling. Available privacy controls will be presented where required. You may also write to hello@pervaaz.com. We may need to verify a request before acting on it.

Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to withdraw consent, restrict or object to processing, or complain to a data protection authority. Exercising a privacy right will not result in unlawful discrimination.

Retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain security records, to meet legal and accounting duties, or to resolve disputes. Routine server and analytics data may be kept for different periods by the providers involved.

Correction correspondence may be retained as part of the editorial record. Copyright notices and legal communications may be retained for as long as needed to document the matter.

Security And International Processing

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no website, email system, or storage service can guarantee absolute security. Please do not send sensitive information that we have not requested.

The site and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. When required, appropriate contractual or legal safeguards are used for international transfers.

Children’s Privacy

Pervaaz provides general educational content and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where required.

Parents, guardians, and teachers should avoid sending a child’s full name, school, precise location, or contact details when asking an educational question.

External Links And Policy Changes

Our pages may link to wildlife agencies, research papers, museums, conservation groups, image sources, and other websites. Their privacy practices are controlled by their operators, not by Pervaaz.

We may update this policy when our services, vendors, or legal duties change. The date at the top will show the latest revision. Material changes will be presented in a reasonably noticeable way.


Accessibility Statement

Advertising supports the cost of running Pervaaz, but it does not control our editorial work. This policy explains the boundary between commercial messages and our falcon content.

How Advertising Appears

Pervaaz plans to use display advertising, including Google AdSense. Ads may be selected and delivered automatically by third-party advertising systems. Their appearance does not mean we have tested, recommended, or endorsed the advertiser, product, service, or claim.

We aim to keep ads visually distinguishable from editorial content. We do not intentionally format an advertisement to look like an article, source citation, navigation control, or download button.

Editorial Independence

Advertisers do not select our conclusions, approve copy, suppress criticism, or receive favorable coverage in exchange for spending. Editorial assignments are based on reader needs, evidence, conservation relevance, and the scope of the site.

Revenue considerations may affect how the website is funded and maintained, but they do not change the biological facts presented in an article.

No Affiliate Links At Present

Pervaaz does not currently use affiliate links and does not receive a commission when a reader purchases a product through an ordinary editorial link.

If affiliate relationships are introduced later, we will disclose them clearly near affected content and update this page before relying on that revenue model.

Restricted And Inappropriate Advertising

We do not knowingly seek ads that promote illegal wildlife trade, unlawful capture, animal cruelty, deceptive conservation claims, or products whose presentation conflicts with our wildlife ethics. Automated systems can occasionally show an unsuitable ad despite publisher controls.

Readers may report a problematic ad to hello@pervaaz.com. A screenshot, page address, approximate time, country, and advertiser name help us investigate. Do not click an unsafe advertisement merely to collect details.

Privacy

Advertising providers may use cookies, web beacons, Internet Protocol addresses, and related technologies. The Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain these practices and the choices available to visitors.

A reader’s privacy choice does not influence our editorial treatment of a species, organization, product, or conservation issue.


Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Pervaaz.com and its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.

What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website or service stores through a browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, software development tools, and web beacons. They can support a single visit or remain for a set period.

Some cookies are placed directly by the site. Others are placed by services used for advertising, analytics, security, embedded media, or performance.

How We Use Them

Strictly necessary technologies help pages load, protect forms, remember privacy choices, prevent abuse, and maintain security. These functions may operate without optional advertising consent where the law permits.

Analytics technologies help us understand visits, page performance, navigation patterns, and technical faults. Advertising technologies help deliver, measure, limit, and protect ads. Depending on your location and choices, ads may be personalized or non personalized.

Google Advertising Cookies

When Google AdSense is active, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads, prevent fraud, and support ad personalization where permitted. Advertising cookies may consider visits to Pervaaz and other websites.

Learn more through Google’s advertising technology information and How Google uses cookies. You can control Google ad personalization in Google My Ad Center.

Your Choices

Where required, a consent message allows you to accept, reject, or manage optional technologies. You can return to the site’s privacy settings control to change a choice when that feature is available.

Most browsers also allow you to delete or block cookies. Browser controls affect the browser and device where they are changed. Blocking all cookies may interfere with privacy preferences, security tools, embedded material, and other site functions.

Changes To This Policy

The cookies and providers in use may change as the site develops. We will update this page when a material change affects the explanation of our practices or the choices available to visitors.

Questions about cookies may be sent to hello@pervaaz.com.


Copyright Policy

We respect the work of researchers, writers, photographers, artists, mapmakers, and publishers. We expect the same respect for original work published by Pervaaz.

Ownership And Licensed Material

Unless a page states otherwise, original text and graphics created for Pervaaz are protected by copyright. Some photographs, maps, quotations, and other materials are used under a license, permission, public domain status, or a legal exception. Their rights remain with the respective owners.

A source credit does not necessarily mean an item is free for anyone else to reuse. Check the original license and any restrictions before copying third-party material.

Linking And Limited Quotation

You may link to a public Pervaaz page. Limited quotation for criticism, reporting, scholarship, teaching, or discussion may be allowed by law when the source and page address are clearly identified.

Do not reproduce a full article, remove a credit, copy an original graphic, republish our collection at scale, or present our work as your own without written permission.

Permission Requests

Send permission requests to hello@pervaaz.com. Identify the exact material, the page where it appears, how you want to use it, the intended audience, format, territory, and whether the use is commercial.

Permission is not granted unless you receive a written reply from an authorized representative. A lack of response is not permission.

Reporting Alleged Infringement

If you believe material on Pervaaz infringes your rights, email hello@pervaaz.com with your name and contact information, identification of the protected work, the exact page address and material at issue, a good faith explanation of why the use is unauthorized, and a statement that the information you provide is accurate.

If you act for the rights owner, explain your authority. We may request additional information needed to assess the notice. Knowingly false claims may have legal consequences.

Our Response

We review complete notices in good faith. Depending on the circumstances, we may seek clarification, add or repair attribution, replace material, restrict access, or remove it while the matter is assessed.

Removal does not necessarily mean we agree that infringement occurred. Where appropriate and lawful, we may notify the contributor or licensor and consider a response from them.

Wildlife Images And Ethics

Copyright permission does not by itself make an image suitable for publication. We may decline or remove material that appears to document harmful disturbance, unlawful access, baiting, nest interference, or disclosure of a sensitive location.

Image ethics are explained further in our Wildlife Ethics and Sensitive Species Policy.


Corrections Policy

Accuracy matters more than defending an old sentence. We welcome specific, evidence-based corrections and review them without regard to whether the person reporting the issue agrees with our broader editorial viewpoint.

How To Submit A Correction

Email hello@pervaaz.com with the page address, the exact passage in question, your proposed correction, and a reliable supporting source if available. Tell us if the issue involves a sensitive nest, roost, or wildlife location.

We can assess precise reports more quickly than messages that say an entire page is wrong without identifying a claim.

How We Review Reports

An editor checks the original source record and seeks additional authority when needed. The writer or specialist reviewer may be consulted, but no contributor has a veto over a supported correction.

We distinguish factual errors from reasonable differences in interpretation, regional vocabulary, taxonomic convention, and writing preference. When evidence is genuinely mixed, clarification may be more accurate than replacing one absolute statement with another.

Types of Changes

Small spelling, grammar, formatting, and broken link repairs may be made without a public correction note when they do not alter meaning. A factual correction that changes identification guidance, measurements, range, status, chronology, or the main answer may receive a dated note on the page.

If an article is too unreliable to repair safely, we may temporarily remove it, substantially rewrite it, or permanently withdraw it. A removed address may retain a short explanation when that serves readers.

Timing and Transparency

Urgent safety, legal, conservation, and misidentification issues are prioritized. Other reports are reviewed as editorial capacity allows. We do not promise a particular outcome or accept payment to change a factual conclusion.

When a correction is made, the update date should reflect the real review. We do not change dates merely to make an old article appear new.

Complaints Beyond Accuracy

Copyright claims should be sent to hello@pervaaz.com. Privacy concerns should be sent to hello@pervaaz.com. Advertising complaints may be sent to hello@pervaaz.com with enough detail to identify the advertisement.

A request to remove accurate public information will be considered in light of safety, privacy, wildlife protection, public interest, and applicable law.


Image Use And Attribution Policy

Falcon images are evidence as well as illustration. We select and present them with attention to accuracy, permission, attribution, accessibility, and wildlife welfare.

Where Images Come From

Pervaaz may use original work, material supplied with permission, licensed library images, public domain collections, or works available under an open license. We record the source and relevant license terms when an image is added.

An image found through a search engine is not treated as free to use. Search results help locate the original source, which must then be checked.

Species And Context Checks

We verify the species shown and avoid using a lookalike merely because it is visually appealing. Age, sex, subspecies, behavior, and location are stated only when the image or its reliable source supports the description.

Images used in comparisons should show the field mark being discussed at a useful angle. Color and contrast adjustments must not create a misleading diagnostic feature.

Credits And Licenses

Credits are placed where readers can reasonably connect them to the work. When a license requires a creator name, source, license name, or link, we include that information in an appropriate form.

A Pervaaz caption or crop does not erase the original creator’s rights. Readers who want to reuse an image should follow the stated source and obtain any permission their use requires.

Alternative Text And Captions

Alternative text describes the meaningful visual information needed to understand the page. Captions may add species, behavior, place, date, or photographic context when verified.

We avoid stuffing search phrases into alternative text. Decorative images may use empty alternative text so assistive technology does not announce irrelevant detail.

Ethical Screening

We may reject an image that appears to involve baiting, nest interference, unlawful access, dangerous crowding, staged prey, or disclosure of a sensitive location. Lawful ownership of a photograph does not require us to publish it.

Location metadata may be removed. We may use a broader location description when precision could put birds at risk.

Questions And Claims

Send licensing questions or infringement notices to hello@pervaaz.com. Include the page address and enough information to identify the image.

If a credit is incomplete or incorrect, we will review the source record and correct it under our Corrections Policy.
