BharatLore (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates bharatlore.com. This page explains what information we collect when you visit, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
We collect a limited amount of information automatically when you visit the site, and additional information only if you choose to provide it.
- Automatically collected data: like most websites, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — pages viewed, time on site, general location (country/city level), device and browser type. This data is anonymized and aggregated; it does not identify you personally.
- Information you provide: if you leave a comment or contact us through the site, we collect the name, email address, and message you submit.
- Cookies: we use cookies for basic site functionality and analytics. If we display advertising (via Google AdSense) or affiliate links, our advertising and affiliate partners may also set cookies to serve relevant ads or track referrals — see the sections below.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to measure site traffic and understand which stories and content resonate with readers. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
BharatLore may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more about how Google uses data at Google’s Partner Sites policy.
Affiliate Links
Some posts on BharatLore may contain affiliate links — for example, links to products (such as puja items or religious articles) or travel booking services related to a story. If you click one of these links and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only link to products and services genuinely relevant to the content, and affiliate relationships never influence the stories themselves.
Comments
If you leave a comment on the site, the comment and its metadata (including your name, email, and IP address) are retained so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
Embedded Content
Some posts may include embedded content (for example, YouTube videos or Instagram posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited that other website directly, and that website may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
How Long We Retain Data
Comment data and any messages you send us are retained indefinitely so we can respond to and track any follow-up correspondence. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics’ standard retention settings.
Your Rights
If you have left a comment or contacted us, you can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, or provide you with an export of that data. You can also request corrections to any inaccurate information.
Third-Party Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers mentioned above (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and affiliate partners when you click their links) as needed for those services to function.
Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please reach out at contact@bharatlore.com.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example as we add new features like advertising or affiliate partnerships. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “last updated” date.
