Thank you for visiting our website (the “Site”). We value your trust and are committed to being fully transparent about how we handle any data related to your use of our services. This Privacy Policy describes how and why we collect, use, and share information about you when you visit or interact with our Site.
1. Who We Are
Site Owner: This Site is operated by a non-commercial, devotional group dedicated to sharing spiritual resources about Lord Shiva (Mahadev).
Contact Information: For any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please reach out via email at support@mahadevebook.shop.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
- No Account Creation: We do not require you to create an account, register, or sign up for any service.
- No Personal Details: We do not request, collect, or store personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or payment details.
- No Membership or Subscription: We do not offer memberships or newsletters, so there is no subscription process or mailing list.
Because we do not collect personal data, we do not create user profiles or engage in direct marketing of any kind. Our Site is for informational and devotional purposes only.
3. Information You May Choose to Provide
Although our Site is designed to operate without collecting personal data, you may voluntarily provide personal information in the following limited circumstance:
-
Contacting Us Directly: If you email or call us using the contact details provided on the Site, we may see the information you include (such as your name, email address, or phone number). We use this information only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add your details to any database or mailing list, and we do not share your contact information with third parties.
4. Cookies and Analytics
Cookies Usage:
- Our Site may use standard cookies or similar technologies to improve user experience or to display Google Ads.
- We do not set or manage cookies for the purpose of personal data collection. Any cookies that may be present are typically essential for site functionality or are placed by third-party services (e.g., Google Ads).
Analytics:
- We may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to gain insights into how visitors use our Site (e.g., page views, time on page). These tools may place cookies in your browser to track usage patterns.
- We do not have access to or store personally identifiable information through these analytics. The aggregated data we can view (e.g., total users, popular pages) helps us maintain and improve our Site.
Managing Cookies:
- You can control or disable cookies by adjusting your browser settings. However, note that disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Site.
- For more information on Google’s practices and options for opting out of such cookies, visit: Google Ads Settings and Google’s Privacy Policy.
5. Advertising
Google Ads:
- We may display Google Ads to offset basic website hosting and maintenance costs. These ads are provided by Google based on contextual or interest-based targeting.
- We do not control or have access to detailed user-specific information used by Google.
Ad Personalization:
- If Google Ads are personalized, Google uses information based on your previous browsing history or Google account settings. You can adjust your ad personalization preferences in your Google account or opt out of ad personalization.
Transparency:
- We do not sell, rent, or trade any form of personal data to advertisers or third parties.
- Our role is limited to hosting ads; Google or other ad networks handle the data collection and targeting independently.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
Third-Party Services:
- We may use third-party providers for hosting, analytics, and advertising. They may process data on our behalf for these specific purposes.
- We do not share personal data with these providers beyond what is necessary for the site to function (e.g., IP address logs in server analytics).
Legal Requirements:
- We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal requests (e.g., court orders, subpoenas), but this is extremely unlikely given our minimal data collection.
7. Data Security
- Minimal Data Storage: Because we do not actively collect or store personal data, there is little data to secure.
- Any contact details you voluntarily provide (e.g., by email) are stored securely, protected by standard email security measures.
- No Payment Processing: We do not process any financial transactions or payment information on this Site.
8. Children’s Privacy
- No Intended Use by Children: Our content is devotional in nature and is not specifically aimed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
- If We Learn of Collection: If a parent or guardian becomes aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at support@mahadevebook.shop. We will delete such information promptly.
9. External Links
Our Site may contain links to external resources or references related to Lord Shiva or spiritual topics. Please note:
- We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.
- We encourage you to read the privacy policies of all external websites you visit.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your local jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding personal data. Although we do not collect personal data through our Site, if you ever have concerns or questions about any information you believe we may hold:
