Privacy Policy — How We Handle Your Data

🔒

Privacy Policy

Your trust is sacred to us. This policy explains how we handle your data in plain, honest language.

Effective Date: April 25, 2026
Last Updated: April 25, 2026

Look, I know privacy policies are usually boring walls of legal text that nobody reads. Let me break this down simply: we respect your privacy, we collect very little data, and we never sell your personal information to anyone. Ever.

What Information We Collect

1. Information You Voluntarily Give Us

If you email us or leave a comment on a blog post, we receive whatever you choose to share — typically your name, email address, and message content. We use this only to respond to you.

2. Automatic Information (Cookies & Analytics)

Like almost every website on the internet, we use standard tools that collect anonymous data automatically:

  • Google Analytics: Helps us understand which Nakshatra guides are most helpful, where our visitors come from, and how they navigate the site. This is completely anonymous — we cannot identify you personally.
  • Google AdSense: We display ads to keep this website free. AdSense uses cookies to show relevant ads based on your interests. You can opt out of personalized ads anytime (see below).
  • Blogger Platform Cookies: Since we are hosted on Blogger/Blogspot, Google may set essential cookies for site functionality and security.

How We Use Your Information

We use the limited data we collect for these purposes only:

  • To improve our Namkaran Calculator and name guides
  • To reply to your emails and comments
  • To display relevant advertisements (so we can keep the lights on)
  • To analyze which content helps parents the most

We do not:

  • Sell, rent, or trade your email address
  • Send spam or marketing emails (we don't even have a newsletter blast system)
  • Share your data with third parties for their own marketing

Cookies & How to Control Them

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser. You have full control:

Children's Privacy

This website is designed for parents and families seeking baby naming guidance. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

Third-Party Services

We use the following trusted third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

Service Purpose
Google Analytics Anonymous traffic analysis
Google AdSense Displaying relevant advertisements
Blogger / Google Website hosting and platform
Facebook / Twitter / Pinterest Social sharing buttons (only active when clicked)

Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Object to certain types of processing (like personalized ads)
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us. We will respond within 30 days.

Data Retention

Emails and comments are kept only as long as necessary to serve the purpose they were sent for. Analytics data is retained according to Google's default policies (typically 26 months for Google Analytics 4).

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for legal compliance. If we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
