The owners and operators of Tilak Kathayein take your online privacy very seriously. This document outlines the types of information our servers collect and includes links to the privacy policies of our third-party advertising partners.
User Accounts
Membership is an optional feature of the Tilak Kathayein website. A user account is required to browse or upload the content we provide. However, creating an account enables additional features, such as (but not limited to) the ability to submit content, create a list of your own Katha, Arati, Kahaniya, Chalisa, festivals, etc., and post comments.
By creating an account, you are voluntarily providing certain information about yourself that will be stored on our servers. This data includes, at a minimum, a username, password, and valid email address. You may optionally add additional information to your account profile. Your profile information is public and may appear on our website, except for your email address and password.
Personally Identified Data
We strongly discourage users from entering their full name, phone number, physical address, or other sensitive information in user profiles, comments, or any other areas of the site. Additionally, we request that minors and individuals with limited decision-making ability refrain from creating an account on this site without the approval and supervision of a guardian.
We make reasonable efforts to monitor cases where users post personally identifiable information about others in public areas of the website and take action to remove such material.
Server Logs
Like most websites, Tilak Kathayein logs web, database, and other server software usage and access information. This may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, which in many cases can be traced to an affiliation (such as your workplace, school, or internet service provider) or a geographical location. We use this information solely for debugging purposes and to aggregate it into anonymous usage and traffic statistics.
