Our website address is: https://vedicdreamencyclopedia.com. For any privacy-related inquiries or data requests, you can contact our data compliance administrator at contact@vedicdreamencyclopedia.com.
Information We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in automated spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images hosted on the website.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
- Login Pages: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- Account Sessions: When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
- Content Editing: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Third-Party Advertising and Analytics (Ad Network Compliance)
To sustain this free directory asset, we partner with third-party advertising networks to serve programmatic display ads when you visit our website. These companies may use tracking identifiers, cookies, and web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information (such as your IP address, browser type, click behavior, and time of visits) to provide targeted advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
- Google AdSense & Partners: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Opting Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or by visiting www.aboutcookies.org to manage third-party cookie preferences globally.
Affiliate Disclosures and Links
Articles on this website may contain affiliate tracking links for scriptural remedies, consulting services, or astrological tools. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase or complete a registration, we may receive a small financial commission at no additional cost to you. Our affiliate partners utilize persistent cookies to track referrals for the attribution of commissions, adhering strictly to standard vendor privacy parameters.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, social feeds, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that specific website.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal data to third parties.
- Automated Services: Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.
- Technical Logs: If you request a password reset, your current IP address will be dynamically included in the automated system reset email for verification and security logs.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a manual moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their system username). Website administrators can also view and edit that administrative information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left active comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any specific data you have explicitly provided to us.
You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are legally or administratively obliged to keep for security, infrastructure protection, or legal purposes.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changing regulations or third-party ad framework upgrades. Any modifications will be declared on this page along with an updated revision date.
