Last updated: September 8, 2025
Welcome to SriHanumanChalisa.org. We want to keep this simple and clear: this page explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. If anything below is unclear, please email us at BhaktiHindi@proton.me.
Quick summary
We collect only the information we need to run the website and to help visitors — things like messages you send us, basic technical logs, and anonymous analytics. We do not sell your personal information. Files such as PDFs and MP3s linked from our site are generally hosted using public services (for example, GitHub) for faster downloads and streaming; we usually do not store copyrighted media on our private servers.
1. Information we collect
We collect three types of information:
- Information you give us: This includes your email and message if you contact us, any information you include in a DMCA or copyright request, and any other details you voluntarily provide when communicating with us.
- Automatic information: When you visit the site we automatically collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referral URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This helps us keep the site running and improves performance and security.
- Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies, local storage, and similar tech to remember preferences, keep sessions working, and for analytics. These are small files placed on your device by your browser.
2. How we use the information
- To respond to contact messages, copyright requests, or inquiries you send to us.
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site — for example, to fix bugs, understand usage, and optimize performance.
- To protect the site and our users from abusive behavior, spam, or security threats.
- To comply with legal obligations and to respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
3. Cookies, analytics, and tracking
We use cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site and to make improvements. These tools collect anonymous usage data — like which pages are popular and how long people stay on a page. Typical tools we may use include Google Analytics or similar analytics platforms. If you prefer not to be tracked, you can disable cookies in your browser or use browser extensions that block analytics.
4. Hosting, files, and embeds
To provide fast downloads and streaming we sometimes link to or embed files hosted on public services such as GitHub, YouTube, or other third-party hosts. That means when you click a PDF or MP3 link you may be directed to or served content from another provider. Those services have their own privacy policies and practices; we encourage you to review them if you interact with hosted content.
5. Third-party services and links
We may use third-party services for analytics, performance, and security (for example, analytics providers, content delivery networks, or security services). We may also link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we link to. Please read the privacy policies of third-party sites or services you visit.
6. Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell your personal data. We may share information in the following limited situations:
- Service providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, email delivery). These providers only get the information they need to perform their tasks and may not use it for other purposes.
- Legal reasons: We may disclose data if required by law or to respond to lawful requests from authorities, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the site, our users, or others.
- Business transfers: If our site is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will require any buyer to honor this policy.
7. Comments, user content, and public posts
If the site allows comments or user-submitted content, remember that anything you post publicly can be seen by others. We may collect and store the content you post and any metadata associated with it. If you want content removed, contact us at BhaktiHindi@proton.me with details and we will review it.
8. Email communications and newsletters
If you email us, we will store your email and message to reply. If we ever offer a newsletter or mailing list, you will be asked to opt in and will be able to unsubscribe at any time using an unsubscribe link or by contacting us. We will not send unwanted marketing emails.
9. Data retention
We retain contact messages, copyright/DMCA requests, and other records for as long as necessary to respond and to meet legal obligations. Log and analytics data may be kept for a reasonable period to analyze trends and for security purposes. If you request deletion of your personal data, we will take reasonable steps to remove it from active systems, subject to any legal or operational reasons to retain it.
10. Your rights and choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights such as the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you; the right to object to or restrict certain processing; and the right to receive a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise these rights, contact us at BhaktiHindi@proton.me. We will ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling sensitive requests. We aim to respond to requests promptly — usually within 30 days; simple requests may be handled faster.
11. Children
This site is intended for general devotional use and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.
12. Security
We implement reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect personal data. However, no internet or storage system is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you suspect a security issue affecting your data, please contact us immediately.
13. International data transfers
SriHanumanChalisa.org is based in India. If you are visiting from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in India or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the site you consent to such transfer and processing.
14. DMCA, copyright concerns, and takedown requests
If you believe content on SriHanumanChalisa.org infringes your copyright, please send a notice to BhaktiHindi@proton.me including:
- Your full name and contact information (email address).

- A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
- A statement that, to the best of your knowledge, the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
We will review and respond to valid requests and take action where appropriate, which may include removing or disabling access to the material.
15. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top. If changes are material, we will try to post a notice on the site. Please review this page periodically for updates.
