Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit this website, how we use it, and what choices you have. We have written it in plain language so it is easy to understand — no unnecessary legal jargon.

Introduction
This website is a content-based resource dedicated to Hindu temples, festivals, spiritual practices, travel guidance, shlokas, and sankalpas. It is intended purely for informational and educational purposes.

We are committed to handling any information we collect responsibly, transparently, and with respect for your privacy.

We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry or feedback. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent, and we do not share your contact details with third parties for marketing purposes.
Messages are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry, maintain our records, or comply with applicable legal obligations, after which they may be securely deleted.

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors use this website. This includes information such as which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay, and what devices they use.

Third-Party Services
Our website may use a small number of third-party services to support its functionality — such as hosting providers, contact form platforms, or embedded maps for temple locations.
These third-party services may collect limited technical data as part of their normal operation. We choose reputable providers and encourage you to review their individual privacy policies if you have specific concerns.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third party for commercial or marketing purposes. Your data is never traded or transferred for profit.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external websites and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
Advertising
At present, this website does not display paid advertisements.
However, we may in the future introduce advertising through trusted third-party advertising networks — such as Google AdSense or similar platforms. If and when this happens, we will update this Privacy Policy to reflect the change.
We may also include affiliate links to products or services that we genuinely believe may be useful to our readers. If you purchase through these links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or recommendations.
Third-party advertising providers may use cookies to display ads that are relevant to your interests, based on your browsing activity. You would have the option to opt out of personalised advertising through those providers’ settings at that time.
We will always be transparent about any advertising we introduce, and we will not allow advertisers to access your personal information directly.
