Privacy Policy

Summary

NanakShahi is a reading website. You do not need an account to use it, and we do not ask for personal information to read our articles. This policy explains what information is processed when you visit the site or contact us, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

When you browse the site

Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically processes technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the time of the request. This information is used to deliver the website, keep it secure and diagnose problems. It is kept only for as long as needed for those purposes.

When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to you and to act on your request, for example to correct an article.

Search

The site search runs on our own server. Search terms are used to return results and are not linked to your identity.

Cookies

At present, NanakShahi does not set cookies for advertising or tracking.

If we introduce advertising in the future, such as Google AdSense, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this and other sites. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites (opens in a new tab), and you can opt out of personalised advertising through Google's Ads Settings.

Where the law requires it, we will ask for your consent before any non-essential cookies are set, and we will update this policy before any such change takes effect.

Analytics

If we add privacy-respecting analytics to understand which articles are useful, we will describe the tool here, including what it collects and how long data is kept.

Sharing information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us run the website, such as our hosting provider, and only as needed for them to provide their service, or where required by law.

Links to other websites

Our articles link to other websites, including the websites of Sikh institutions. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites, and we encourage you to read their policies.

Children

NanakShahi is written for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to how it is used. To make a request, email us using the address on our contact page. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the website changes. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised.
