Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains what information mtmispunjab.com handles when you use it, why, and for how long. In short: we pass your searches to the official portals, keep a result for one hour, store nothing from our contact form on the website, and show ads from Google.
Who we are
mtmispunjab.com is an independent website run by Hamza Akram in Pakistan. For any privacy question, write to us through our contact page.
What you type into our tools
Our tools need a few details to find a record. Depending on the tool, these are:
- Vehicle verification: the registration number and the registration date.
- Application tracking: the application ID and the chassis number.
- Smart card tracking: the Pakistan Post tracking ID or the registration number.
- Token tax calculator: engine size, invoice price and filer status, which stay in your browser.
First, our relay server in Pakistan sends these details to the official portal of the Excise Department or Pakistan Post, together with the security code you type. Their only use is to fetch your result. So we never sell them, use them for advertising or build a profile from them.
How long we keep results
A vehicle or application result stays on our server for one hour, so you can open, print or save it. After that, the server deletes it automatically. Pakistan Post tracking results, on the other hand, stay for up to 15 minutes, so repeated searches for the same parcel load faster.
Your IP address and abuse limits
To stop automated misuse, our tools count searches from each visitor for a short time, for example 30 searches in 10 minutes. This count uses your IP address and then expires on its own. In addition, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs for security and deletes them on its own schedule.
Our contact form
When you use our contact form, the website emails us your name, email address, topic and message, so we can reply. However, the website itself saves nothing from the form. The email stays in our inbox for as long as we need it to answer you, and you can ask us to delete it.
To limit spam, the form also counts messages from each visitor for one hour. For this it uses a scrambled form of your IP address that nobody can read back.
Cookies and browser storage
Our site keeps a few small settings in your browser, such as the light or dark theme, so it works the way you left it. These settings never leave your device.
Google, which serves our ads, also uses cookies, as described below. Therefore you can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
Advertising by Google
This website shows ads through Google AdSense. As a result, third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your earlier visits to this website or to other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of some third party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.
Google explains how it uses information from sites that show its ads on its partner sites page. Visitors from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom see a consent message first, and ads are shown according to their choice.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to count visits and to see which pages help people most. It records information such as the pages viewed, the device and the approximate location, but not your name. Also, where the law requires consent, it runs only after you agree.
Links to other websites
Our pages link to official portals and to news reports. However, once you leave our website, the other website's own privacy policy applies, and we are not responsible for it.
Children
This website is for vehicle owners and buyers. For that reason, it is not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Your choices
- Do not include private details, such as your CNIC, in the contact form.
- Change or withdraw your ad consent with the Cookie settings link.
- Ask us to delete any email you sent us.
- Clear your browser storage to remove the settings we keep there.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the site handles information, we will update this page and the date at the top. In addition, we will mention any significant change on the homepage for a while.
