1. Introduction

Welcome to DelhiMetroRoute.com.

DelhiMetroRoute.com is an independent website primarily designed to provide Delhi Metro route-finding tools, station information, route information, metro-related guides and other useful travel information.

We respect your privacy and aim to be transparent about how information may be processed when you use our Website.

Important

DelhiMetroRoute.com is NOT the official website of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).

DelhiMetroRoute.com is an independent website and is not owned, operated, controlled, sponsored, endorsed by, or officially affiliated with DMRC.

The Website is primarily intended to function as an independent Delhi Metro route finder and informational platform.

For official operational information, users should verify important information with the relevant official authority.

2. Our Approach to Personal Data

For normal use of the DelhiMetroRoute.com route finder, we do not require users to create an account or provide unnecessary personal information.

Ordinary route searches generally do not require:

  • Aadhaar number;
  • PAN number;
  • bank account details;
  • debit or credit card details;
  • password;
  • government identification;
  • mobile number; or
  • other sensitive personal information.

Our main purpose is to provide the requested metro route and related information.

Important clarification

When we say that DelhiMetroRoute.com does not directly require or intentionally collect unnecessary personal information for ordinary route searches, this does not mean that no technical information can ever be processed when a person visits a website.

Internet infrastructure, hosting, security, CDN, caching, advertising, analytics and other third-party technologies may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser information, device information, cookies or similar identifiers.

Such processing may be performed by the relevant service providers according to their own policies and applicable laws.

3. Information You Voluntarily Provide

You may voluntarily provide information if you contact us by email, submit a privacy request, submit an enquiry or use another communication feature provided on the Website.

Depending on the feature used, this may include:

  • name;
  • email address;
  • message;
  • enquiry details;
  • information included in your communication; and
  • other information that you voluntarily provide.

Please do not send unnecessary sensitive personal information through email or Website forms.

4. Route Finder Information

DelhiMetroRoute.com provides route-finding functionality.

When you enter a starting station and destination, the Website may process the selected station names, route parameters and related technical information in order to calculate and display the requested route.

For example:

Station A → Station B

The information required to calculate the route is used primarily to provide the requested route-finding functionality.

A normal route search does not require you to create a personal account.

We do not intentionally request Aadhaar, PAN, bank details, passwords or other sensitive personal information for ordinary route searches.

Third-party advertising, hosting, security, CDN, analytics or other service providers may independently process technical information according to their services and applicable policies.

Where applicable law imposes specific obligations regarding such processing, we will take appropriate steps as required.

19. Data Retention

We aim to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or as required by applicable law.

  • protecting legal rights.

When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymised or otherwise disposed of, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Where required, we will follow applicable requirements concerning security safeguards, breach handling and notifications.

36. Accuracy of Metro Information

DelhiMetroRoute.com is an independent informational platform.

Metro routes, fares, timings, station information, platform information and operational details may change.

Information provided through the Website may not always reflect real-time operational conditions.

The Website is independently operated and is primarily intended to provide:

  • route information;
  • metro-related guides;

43.1 Important Clarification About “No Data Collection”

DelhiMetroRoute.com does not require users to provide unnecessary personal information for ordinary route searches. Visitors can generally use the route-finder without creating an account and without providing Aadhaar, PAN, bank details, a password or similar sensitive information.

However, it would not be technically accurate to state that absolutely no data or information is ever processed when someone visits a website. Normal Internet communication and Website infrastructure can involve technical information such as IP address, request information, timestamps, browser/device information, security logs, cookies or similar identifiers.

In addition, when third-party services are active, those providers may process information. For example, Google AdSense may use advertising cookies and similar technologies, while Microsoft Clarity can collect interaction, diagnostic, page and playback-related information according to its configuration. These services are therefore disclosed here rather than describing the Website as a zero-data environment.

The intended and more accurate privacy statement is:

“DelhiMetroRoute.com does not directly request or intentionally collect unnecessary personal information for ordinary route searches. Technical information may nevertheless be processed automatically by Website infrastructure and by third-party services that are active on the Website.”

43.2 Advertising, Analytics and Third-Party Technology Disclosure

Depending on the Website’s current configuration, DelhiMetroRoute.com may use or may enable:

  • Google AdSense and Google Auto Ads for advertising;
  • Microsoft Clarity for analytics and understanding Website interactions;
  • Hosting and server infrastructure for Website operation;
  • CDN, firewall and security services for delivery and protection;
  • LiteSpeed Cache or related caching/performance technology;
  • WordPress, plugins and SEO tools for Website functionality, administration and search optimisation; and
  • other advertising or analytics providers if they are subsequently activated.

The exact technologies may change. We therefore aim to update this Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy when material changes are made to the Website’s active data-processing technologies.

Google states that AdSense uses cookies to support advertising functions, including relevance, reporting and frequency-related purposes. Users can control personalised advertising through Google’s available settings. citeturn0search6turn0search12

Microsoft states that Clarity can capture interaction events such as clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, together with diagnostic, page and playback-related information. Clarity also provides consent-management controls for applicable users and configurations. citeturn0search0turn0search2

43.3 DPDP Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025

DelhiMetroRoute.com recognises India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025.

The DPDP framework includes provisions concerning notice, consent, security safeguards, Data Principal rights and grievance mechanisms, subject to the applicability and commencement of the relevant provisions.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 were notified with phased commencement for different provisions. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy uses the wording “applicable provisions” and “as and when the respective provisions commence” rather than claiming that every DPDP obligation is already operational for every Website activity.

Where applicable, we intend to maintain appropriate transparency, notice, consent mechanisms, reasonable security practices, grievance handling and mechanisms for applicable Data Principal requests.

This section is a transparency statement and is not a legal certification, legal opinion or guarantee that every possible statutory obligation applies to the Website in every circumstance.

43.4 Privacy in Simple Terms

  • No account is required for ordinary route searches.
  • Aadhaar, PAN, bank details and passwords are not required for ordinary route searches.
  • We do not intentionally request unnecessary sensitive personal information for ordinary route searches.
  • We do not operate a standalone business of selling users’ personal information.
  • Users may voluntarily provide information when contacting us or submitting a privacy request.
  • Technical information may be processed automatically by hosting, security, CDN and caching systems.
  • Google AdSense / Auto Ads may process information for advertising when enabled.

44. Important Legal Notice

This Privacy Policy is intended to explain the privacy and data practices of DelhiMetroRoute.com in clear and transparent language.

It is not a legal opinion, legal certification or guarantee that every possible legal requirement is satisfied in every circumstance.

Privacy requirements can depend on:

  • the actual technologies active on the Website;
  • the type of information processed;
  • the location of the user;
  • the services enabled;
  • Google advertising configuration;
  • consent configuration;
  • third-party providers; and
