🪷 Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28 May 2026
What This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy describes how Vidhyamitra (the website at https://vidhyamitra.com) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit the site. By using Vidhyamitra, you agree to this policy.
Reader-Local Privacy Boundary · Bhūmi To Browser
Privacy begins where the reader stands: Goloka/Vraja Rādhā-Krishna → Vaikuṇṭha Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa → Mahāviṣṇu/Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu → Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu → Brahmā → Kṣīrodaka Paramātmā/Antaryāmī (Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu) → Bhūmi → reader's own kṣetra anywhere on Bhūmi → browser/device → network request → server logs/silicon substrate → reader/seer. This policy does not make any founder-place the center; the privacy boundary follows the reader's own device, jurisdiction, and exact kṣetra.
In practical terms: chart inputs are processed in-request, not stored in an application database; optional chart localStorage stays on the reader's own device; ordinary server logs are retained for the limited 30-day diagnostic period stated below.
Privacy Source-Anchor Spine
This route-proven spine keeps the privacy boundary auditable: reader-local device and kṣetra, chart-input handling, sibling trust pages, constitutional proof routes, Antaryāmī responsibility verses, calculator/city context, and machine-discovery files stay connected from one stable section.
Information We Collect — Minimal by Design
Information You Submit
- Birth-chart data — when you submit your birth-date, time, and place to the calculator or Viśvarūpa-Darśana form: this data is sent as URL parameters, processed live for chart computation, and is not stored in any application database. Personal chart result pages are marked
Cache-Control: private, no-storeso browsers, shared proxies, and CDN edges are instructed not to store the rendered chart response. As with any URL request, chart parameters may still appear in your browser history and standard request logs for the 30-day diagnostic period described below. - Optional browser localStorage for Viśvarūpa auto-resume — if you explicitly choose "Remember this chart on this device" on the Viśvarūpa-Darśana form, your browser saves a small local copy of date, time, latitude, longitude, timezone, and city label under the key
vd_bhakta_chart. This is stored on your device only, is used to prefill/resume future visits, and can be cleared with the "Forget my chart" button on the Viśvarūpa page. If you do not opt in, Vidhyamitra does not write this chart-memory localStorage key. - Email correspondence — if you contact the founder via email (see /contact), your email and message are retained for response purposes only.
Information Automatically Collected
- Standard server logs — IP address, browser user-agent, referrer URL, requested page, timestamp. Retained for 30 days for operational diagnostics and not used for individual tracking.
- Cloudflare edge analytics — aggregated traffic data via Cloudflare (DDoS protection, CDN). See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
- Google AdSense cookies — for ad-serving and ad-personalization. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
How We Use Information
- To compute and render your chart in real-time (no application database storage)
- To respond to email inquiries
- To operate the website (Cloudflare routing, DDoS protection)
- To display contextually-relevant ads via Google AdSense (third-party)
- To diagnose technical issues from server logs (aggregated, not individual)
What We Do NOT Do
- We do NOT sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties (beyond standard Cloudflare CDN and Google AdSense as disclosed above).
- We do NOT use any first-party analytics that profile individual users (no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no in-house tracking).
- We do NOT require accounts, signup, login, or any persistent identification to use the substrate.
- We do NOT track your chart-submissions across sessions.
Cookies
The site itself does not set first-party cookies for tracking purposes. Google AdSense (third-party) may set cookies for ad-personalization. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; the site will continue to function (ads may become less relevant).
Children's Privacy
Vidhyamitra does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The substrate is dharmic-spiritual reference content suitable for all ages, but is designed primarily for adults seeking Vedic knowledge. If you are a parent and believe your child has submitted information, please contact us at [email protected].
GDPR / CCPA / India DPDP Rights
If you are a resident of the European Union, California, India, or any jurisdiction with similar data-protection laws, you have rights under your local law including:
- The right to access information we hold about you (note: we hold very little — see above)
- The right to deletion of any email correspondence we retain
- The right to opt out of Google AdSense personalization (via Google's controls)
- The right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority
To exercise these rights, contact [email protected].
