PUBLIC INFO: India Rail Info is a PUBLIC information website, like Wikipedia. Members Post Blogs, Upload Pics/Videos, and update Train Info of their OWN FREE WILL. On its part, the site commits to preserve the same indefinitely. The Blog Posts, Info Updates, Picture uploads, etc. automatically belong to the PUBLIC domain. </div> <div style="margin-top:15px;color:blue"> 2. NO DATA PROCESSING/TARGETING: Blogs & Pics posted to the Forum are available for perusal, AS IS. We DO NOT process the data, sell them to advertisers for targeted marketing, use it to drive AI algorithms, etc. </div> <div style="margin-top:15px;color:green"> 3. NO ALGORITHMIC ORDERING: Blogs are listed in the Forum in CHRONOLOGICAL order. We DO NOT target posts to users using any AI Algorithms. </div> <div style="margin-top:15px;color:red"> 4. DUE CREDIT: Members who post Blogs, upload Pictures or add/update Train Info are given DUE CREDIT in their Member Profiles. </div> <div style="margin-top:15px;color:purple"> 5. DATA DELETION: Members may request their own posted data to be deleted for whatever reason, by private posting to the "moderator", within the site. Alternatively, emails may be addressed to admin@indiarailinfo.com. Every email/pvt post is considered on a case-by-case basis, and turnaround is usually within a day. The <a style="font-weight:bold;" href="https://indiarailinfo.com/blog">India Rail Info Forum</a> also has a special Report button through which members may request our "Forum Monitor" group to take down their own or other members' posts. </div> <div style="margin-top:15px;color:green"> 6.

The member's name will NOT appear alongside any of their blog posts. Also, that member's profile will NO LONGER be available for viewing. Their EMail/User credentials are moved to an Archived Storage, and are not a part of the Active System. In many cases, former members wish to return to IRI, and express this intent through other members. In such cases, their credentials are retrieved from the Archive - the process takes a few days. </div> <h2>RailCal Audio upload</h2> <div> RailCal has a feature whereby you are able to Record Audio and upload it to the Forum.
