Our standards for content, listings, and ads

Kumaon Online is built around original, useful content about Kumaon and Uttarakhand tourism, culture, local businesses, food, festivals, and community life.

We do not knowingly publish copied articles, copied images, counterfeit product claims, or content that infringes the rights of others.

We do not allow illegal content, deceptive claims, hateful or harassing content, adult or sexually explicit material, child exploitation, malware, hacking instructions, spam, animal cruelty, counterfeit goods, or content that promotes harm.

We also avoid unreliable harmful claims, impersonation, manipulated media used to mislead, and content that misrepresents the publisher, author, purpose, or source of the information.

Ads should not cover navigation, hide content, create accidental clicks, appear on pages with little or no content, or interfere with reading and browsing.

We aim to keep publisher content more prominent than advertising or paid promotional material.

We maintain a Privacy Policy that explains how cookies, analytics, advertising services, and contact forms may work on this website.

We do not ask visitors to submit sensitive personal information through public forms and we do not send personally identifying contact-form details to Google advertising systems.

Directory entries, tourism suggestions, and business descriptions are informational. We may edit or remove listings that are inaccurate, misleading, copied, unsafe, or inappropriate.

Businesses and contributors are responsible for ensuring submitted information, images, and claims are accurate and permitted for publication.

To report copyright concerns, inaccurate information, prohibited content, or ad placement issues, contact Kumaon Online at hello@kumaononline.com.
