Hinduism.net.in – Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

Welcome to Hinduism.net.in. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our web application.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our digital publishing and audio services, we collect the following types of information:

• Personal Data: Your name, email address, and account login details when you register a mandatory user account.

• Transaction Data: Details about wallet top-ups, Token purchases, and your payment history (e.g., payment confirmation screenshots or transaction IDs). Note: We do not directly store your credit card or bank credentials; these are processed securely by our third-party payment gateways or platforms like Wise.

• Usage & Device Data: Information about how you access our platform, including your IP address, browser type, device type, language settings, and reading/listening activity.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to operate efficiently and provide the best possible experience. This includes:

• Managing and verifying your mandatory user account.

• Processing Token transactions, wallet top-ups, and monitoring for fraud or fake receipts.

• Enabling your personalized reading, listening, and translation preferences across our library.

• Operating our Promoter (Affiliate) Program, including verifying referrals and processing commission payouts.

• Communicating with you regarding system updates, support inquiries, or essential service adjustments.

3. Data Protection and Digital Rights Management (DRM)

Your access to our eBooks and Audiobooks is restricted to browser playback only.

• We use secure servers and industry-standard internal controls to protect your personal identity data and transaction records.

• Advanced DRM technologies are employed to prevent unauthorized downloading, copying, or scraping of our intellectual property.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking tools to optimize platform functionality:

• To keep you securely logged into your account.

• To remember your custom reading options, app translation settings, and audio playback positions.

• You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but please note that some core features of the platform may stop functioning correctly.

5. Third-Party Services & Links

We integrate trusted third-party services to handle critical operations:

• Payment Processors: Integrations such as Wise, UPI portals, and secure bank gateways manage your wallet top-ups.

• Independent Terms: We do not control these third-party platforms. They operate under their own independent privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We only share information when strictly necessary:

• Service Providers: With secure third-party processors who assist us in running the platform (e.g., cloud hosting or payment processing).

• Legal Compliance: If required by Indian law or legal processes to protect the platform against fraud, security vulnerabilities, or explicit rule violations.

7. Data Retention

• Account Records: We retain your personal data for as long as your registered account remains active so you can enjoy lifetime access to your unlocked content.

• Termination Consequences: If an account is terminated due to fraud, rule violations, or fake receipt submissions, certain identifier metrics may be kept permanently to prevent fraudulent re-registration.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you hold specific rights regarding your personal data:

• The right to view, correct, or update inaccurate account profile details.

• The right to request the deletion of your account and personal records (though this will immediately forfeit any active platform tokens and lifetime content access).

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will become effective immediately upon posting the updated policy text on this page. Your continued use of the website and application constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
