Privacy Policy | Sri Lanka Railway Forum

This Privacy Policy describes how Sri Lanka Railway Forum ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit slrailwayforum.com.

1. Information We Collect

You do not need to create an account to browse train schedules, station profiles, or travel guides. We do not run a comments system and do not collect names, emails, or profile data from visitors. When you use the site, standard technical data (IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited) is processed automatically by our analytics and error-monitoring tools, described below.

2. Cookies and Local Storage

We use a small number of essential cookies and browser local storage to remember your preferences, such as dark/light mode and recent station searches. These do not identify you personally and are not sold or shared with advertisers.

3. Analytics and Error Monitoring

We use PostHog to understand anonymized, aggregate usage patterns (e.g. which timetable routes, stations, or articles are popular) so we can improve the site. We use Sentry to automatically capture technical error reports (such as a page crash) so we can fix bugs; these reports may include your browser/device information and the page URL, but are used only for debugging.

4. Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure

Some pages display sponsored placements and affiliate links to third-party travel partners, including hotel and transport booking services (e.g. Booking.com, Agoda, 12Go), eSIM providers (e.g. Airalo), and tour operators (e.g. GetYourGuide, Viator). If you click through and make a booking, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not control these third parties' own data practices — please review their respective privacy policies.

5. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

6. Your Rights

If you have questions about this policy or believe we hold data about you that you'd like removed, contact us at contact@slrailwayforum.com.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new "Last Updated" date.
