Welcome to JaishivShankar.com ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle information.
JaishivShankar is a free spiritual platform providing daily Mahadev quotes, Jal Arpan, Om Namah Shivaya Jaap counter, and spiritual guidance. This policy explains what data is collected, how it is used, and your rights regarding that data.
🔱 Short version: We do not collect, store, or sell your personal information on our servers. Most of what we track stays on your own device (browser localStorage). We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our site, and Google AdSense to show relevant ads.
We collect two types of data:
A) Data stored on YOUR device only (localStorage):
This data never leaves your device. We cannot see it. It is stored in your browser's localStorage and you can clear it anytime.
B) Data collected via third-party tools (Google):
We do not collect: your name, email, phone number, address, or any personally identifiable information unless you contact us directly.
Local Storage: We use browser localStorage to save your spiritual activity (jaap count, Jal Arpan, quote index). This is stored only on your device. We never access this data.
Cookies: We do not set our own cookies. However, third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) may place cookies on your browser. These are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
To clear localStorage data: Open browser settings → Clear browsing data → Clear cached data / site data.
Your jaap count and streak data is stored only in your own browser. If you clear browser data or switch devices, this data will reset. We cannot recover it for you.
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with Measurement ID G-4TMGBNRRPH to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve the platform for devotees.
Google Analytics collects:
This data is processed by Google and subject to Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
IP Anonymization is enabled. We do not use GA4 for remarketing or advertising personalization from our side.
We use Google AdSense (Publisher ID: ca-pub-5263471656694740) to display advertisements on our website. These ads help us keep the platform free for all devotees.
Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to:
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
JaishivShankar does not control the content of ads displayed. Ad content is determined by Google's algorithms based on your browsing behavior and our content.
Ads help us keep this platform free and growing. If you find an ad inappropriate or misleading, please contact us and we will report it to Google.
Our website includes links to and integrations with third-party services. These are governed by their own privacy policies:
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services. We encourage you to review their policies before using them.
JaishivShankar accepts voluntary donations to support the platform. All payment processing is handled by third-party providers:
We only receive confirmation that a donation was made (name/email if voluntarily provided by the sender). We do not store credit card numbers, bank account details, or other sensitive financial information.
JaishivShankar is suitable for all ages and contains no harmful or inappropriate content. Our platform is designed to be family-friendly and spiritually uplifting.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we do not collect any personal information from any user (regardless of age), children can safely use our platform.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise their children's internet use. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.
You have the following rights regarding your data:
Since we use localStorage (not our own servers), most of your data is already entirely under your control. You can delete it at any time through your browser settings.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our platform grows or legal requirements change. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of JaishivShankar after policy changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Previous versions of this policy are available upon request via email.
