Deep Drive into Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 2023 | Gorakhpur Sanatan — A Digital Seva by Aryan Maurya
Gorakhpur Sanatan is more than a website — it is a digital mandir, a sacred space
dedicated to preserving the living heritage of Gorakhpur’s temples, festivals, rituals, and timeless spiritual
ethos.
Just as we honor sanctity within temple walls, we equally honor your digital privacy, dignity, and autonomy.
This Privacy Policy is our sankalp (sacred resolve) — a promise etched not in code, but in conscience.
Our Core Principle: Zero Data Collection
We affirm, with absolute clarity and transparency, that we do not collect, store, process, log, or share
any personal information from visitors to gorakhpur-sanatan.in (or any of its subpages),
nor from followers on our social media channels.
This includes — but is not limited to — your name, email, phone number, IP address, device details, location,
browsing behavior, or tracking cookies.
Your journey through our site remains as private as a solitary darshan at dawn — witnessed only by the
divine, never by databases.
Third-Party Services We Use
To offer a richer experience, we integrate a minimal set of trusted external services.
Please note: we do not share your data with them, because we hold none to share.
However, when you interact with these services directly, their own terms apply:
WhatsApp Collaboration Links
When you click “Collaborate” or “Contribute”, you are redirected to a wa.me link.
This opens WhatsApp on your device. We never see your message unless you send it.
All communication happens directly between you and Aryan Maurya.
Firebase Authentication (Optional)
The “Log-In” section uses Firebase Auth for identity verification only.
No personal data is stored in our database.
Firebase may collect anonymized usage data per Google’s Privacy Policy.
Instagram Embeds
Our feed displays public reels via Instagram’s official embed tool.
Instagram may place cookies on your device.
For details, see Instagram’s Data Policy.
What We Do NOT Do
- ✕ We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any
tracking scripts.
- ✕ We do not store logs of IP addresses, user agents, or
visit timestamps.
- ✕ We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or
behavioral tracking.
- ✕ We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose data —
because we collect none.
- ✕ We do not have a backend database storing user
activity or preferences.
Your Rights and Control
Since we hold no data about you, there is no profile to access, correct, delete, or export.
Your digital presence here is ephemeral — like footprints on temple steps, washed away by the evening rain.
You are always free to:
- Browse anonymously — no account needed, ever
- Disable third-party cookies via your browser settings
- Reach out to us directly for any question, suggestion, or spiritual collaboration
Policy Updates
Though our philosophy of minimalism and respect for privacy is foundational and unlikely to change, this policy
may be updated to reflect new legal requirements or essential service integrations.
The “Last Updated” date at the top will always reflect the current version.
We invite you to revisit this page from time to time — not out of obligation, but as an act of shared trust.
By continuing to use Gorakhpur Sanatan, you acknowledge and accept this Privacy Policy in its entirety.
