We respect your privacy and collect as little information as possible. This policy explains what data is processed when you use srirangamtemple.net, why, and your rights. It is written with regard to India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the Information Technology Act, 2000 and, for visitors from Europe, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. In short
- No accounts, logins, newsletters or payments.
- No advertising or tracking cookies.
- The contact form does not store anything on our servers; it opens your own email app.
- Our hosting provider keeps short-lived technical logs to keep the website secure and working.
2. Data we process
Technical data
When you visit, our hosting provider, Vercel Inc., processes technical data needed to deliver web pages: your IP address, browser type, the page requested, the referring page and the time of the request. This is used for security, abuse prevention and reliability, and is retained only for a limited period under Vercel's policies.
Emails you send us
If you email us, directly or through the contact form, we receive your email address, name and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to reply and, where relevant, to correct the website. We keep correspondence for up to two years, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.
Analytics
If we use analytics, we use only privacy-friendly, cookie-free aggregate statistics (such as page views by country) that do not identify individual visitors. We will update this section if that changes.
3. Third-party content
Some pages load content from third parties, which may receive your IP address when your browser requests it:
- Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) for typefaces.
- Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org) for photographs.
- Google Maps embeds on the Plan Your Visit and Contact pages, which may set cookies subject to Google's privacy policy.
4. Why we process data
We process technical data for our legitimate use of operating a secure website, and correspondence on the basis of your consent in contacting us. We do not sell, rent or share personal data for marketing, and we do not make automated decisions about you.
5. Your rights
You may ask to access, correct or erase personal data we hold about you (in practice, emails you have sent us), withdraw consent, or nominate another person to exercise your rights. Write to contact@srirangamtemple.net. We will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India or, in the EU, to your local data protection authority.
6. Children
This website is a general information resource and does not knowingly collect personal data from children. If a child has written to us, a parent or guardian may ask us to delete the message.
7. Security
The website is served only over HTTPS, uses strict security headers and stores no personal data in databases. No method of transmission over the internet is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the little data we handle.
8. Grievance contact
For any privacy concern or grievance, contact the website's grievance officer at contact@srirangamtemple.net with the subject line "Grievance". We will acknowledge within 48 hours and aim to resolve it within 15 days.
9. Changes
We will post any changes to this policy on this page and update the effective date above.
