Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 15, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how CFMS Bills Status (www.cfmsbillsstatus.online) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website.
1Information We Collect
You can check a single bill on the home page without creating an account, and without providing any personal information.
If you choose to create an account (required only for features such as bulk checking and cross-device history), we store the account details you provide — your username, a securely hashed password, and your security questions used for password recovery. Your password is never stored in plain text.
Your bill search history is saved in your browser for quick access. When you are logged in, it is also synced to your account so it is available across your devices. You can delete individual entries, or your saved history, at any time.
2Your CFMS Credentials & OTP
The bulk bill checker asks for your official CFMS username and password so it can fetch the status of your bills on your behalf. We want to be completely clear about how this is handled:
- We do not store your CFMS username or password. They are used only in memory to retrieve your bill statuses for that request, and are discarded immediately afterwards. They are never written to our database or saved in our logs.
- We never ask for your CFMS OTP. Sensitive actions on the official CFMS portal are protected by a one-time password (OTP) sent directly to you. We do not request, receive, or handle your OTP at any point.
- Your CFMS credentials are never shared with any third party or used for any purpose other than fetching the bill statuses you ask for.
3Log Data
Our hosting provider (Render) may automatically collect standard server log data when you visit our site. This may include your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time of visit. This data is used solely for server administration and security and is not linked to any personal identity.

5Third-Party Links
Our website redirects users to the official AP CFMS portal (prdcfms.apcfss.in) operated by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. We have no control over that sites content or privacy practices.
