Introduction
Welcome to Shruti Vigyan, a Hindu religious information website dedicated to making the wisdom of Sanatana Dharma accessible to everyone. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit our site. By using Shruti Vigyan, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
We take your privacy seriously. Our site is a content resource — we do not sell products, require account registration, or collect personal data for commercial purposes beyond what is described below.
Information We Collect
Directly: Shruti Vigyan does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to read our content. If you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you submit in order to respond to you.
Automatically via third parties: When you visit our site, third-party services we use (Google AdSense and Google Analytics, described below) may automatically collect certain usage data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This data is collected by those services under their own privacy policies — we do not receive or store raw personal data from these tools directly.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — primarily through Google's services. These cookies are used for analytics (understanding how visitors use the site) and advertising (serving relevant ads).
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. You may also opt out of Google's use of cookies for advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features.
Google AdSense
Shruti Vigyan displays advertisements through Google AdSense, a service provided by Google LLC. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites across the web. This allows Google to show you more relevant advertisements.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info. For more information about how Google uses data from partner sites, visit Google's Privacy & Terms.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use Shruti Vigyan. This helps us improve our content and make the site more useful. Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time on site, and general geographic location (country/city level). This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
