Last updated: 14 August 2026
Ramayan · The Eternal Epic (ramayan.subhashitam.in) respects reader privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit the site, how it is used, how third-party services such as Google AdSense use cookies, and what choices you have regarding your data.
Ramayan · The Eternal Epic is a free educational archive of the Valmiki Ramayana operated by Shri Sayan Santra, curator of the sister site Samskrita Subhashitam (subhashitam.in). The website provides the Sanskrit text of the epic, the story, a character encyclopedia, sacred shlokas, a timeline, a glossary, a quiz and contact options for readers.
The website is a static educational archive. No account registration is required to read the text. If you contact the author by email, phone, social profile or the Google Form, the information you provide may include your name, contact details and message content.
Hosting providers, browsers, security tools and advertising systems may process ordinary technical data such as IP address, approximate location, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring URLs, timestamps and diagnostic logs. This information helps keep the website secure, functional, measurable and compliant.
This website uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website and/or other websites. These advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve personalised or non-personalised ads based on browsing behaviour, device information, and inferred interests.
Third-party vendors may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons, device identifiers, IP addresses, and similar technologies to collect information as a result of ad serving on this website. The specific cookies used may include, but are not limited to, NID, IDE, ANID, and DSID for advertising measurement and personalisation.
The Google AdSense publisher account for this website is ca-pub-2039322668753320. The authorised seller record is published in the site's ads.txt file. Advertising networks may also use their own tracking technologies subject to their respective privacy policies.
You can manage personalised advertising settings through your Google Ads Settings page. You can also block, delete, or limit cookies through your browser's privacy controls. If a consent banner is shown in your region (EEA, UK, or other regulated territories), you may use it to accept or reject advertising cookies.
To learn how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services, visit Google's partner site policy. For opting out of interest-based advertising across multiple networks, visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These include the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data, the right to restrict or object to processing, and the right to data portability. You may exercise these rights by contacting us using the details below. Consent for advertising cookies is obtained through a cookie consent banner displayed on your first visit.
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected, request deletion of your personal information, and opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense, but you may opt out of personalised advertising by adjusting your Google Ads Settings or using the choice link available in the cookie consent banner.
We do not sell personal contact messages. Information may be shared only with service providers needed to operate the website, prevent fraud, comply with law, respond to a lawful request, or protect the rights and security of Ramayan · The Eternal Epic, readers and the wider subhashitam network.
The website may link to external pages, including Google, Facebook, X and payment partners. Those websites have their own privacy practices. Official social links include Samskrita Page, Sayan Santra on Facebook and Sayan Santra on X.
Contact messages are kept only as long as reasonably needed for support, legal compliance and abuse prevention. We use practical security measures such as HTTPS, security headers (including Content Security Policy and X-Frame-Options), limited public directories and careful access controls, but no online system can be guaranteed perfectly secure.
This archive is educational and may be read by students, but it is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age of consent in your jurisdiction). A parent or guardian may contact us to request review or removal of a child's personal message if it was sent accidentally. We do not serve personalised advertising to users known to be minors.
You may request correction or deletion of your contact message where legally and practically possible. Browser-level cookie controls, the cookie consent banner, and the Google Ads Settings page are the primary tools for managing advertising data collection.
This policy may be updated when website features, advertising setup, legal requirements or service providers change. The latest version will be posted on this page with the updated date.
