Privacy
Plain terms, because the obligations here are real: India's DPDP Act and the GDPR both apply to this site's readers.
What is collected
Only a newsletter subscription: an email address, a language preference, and the date and source of consent. Nothing else is stored about a reader, and reading the site requires no account.
Consent
Subscription is double opt-in — an address is confirmed before anything is sent to it, and the consent record is kept precisely so it can be produced on request. Every issue carries a one-click unsubscribe.
Deletion
Deletion is real deletion: the row is removed, not hidden. A retained "deleted" address is exactly what the law objects to.
Advertising
Advertising appears on editorial pages only, never on mantra, prayer or recitation pages. When an ad network is wired in, this page will name it and a consent banner will appear for readers in the EU and UK before any advertising cookie is set.
Embedded video
Livestream players load only when a reader presses play, and use YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain. Nothing is embedded eagerly.
