Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 July 2026 · Applies to Mahābhārata Cosmos and vedatom.com

This policy explains what information is collected when you use Mahābhārata Cosmos and other pages under Vedatom ("the site", "we", "us"), how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.

Who we are

The site is operated by Vedatom (Dr. Tejaswi Katravulapally). For any privacy question or request, contact us at connect@vedatom.com.

Information we collect

Stored on your own device

Your reading progress — quiz mastery, tours walked, tales read, paths begun and similar preferences — is saved in your browser's local storage on your own device. This stays on your device, is not an account, and is cleared when you clear your browser data.

Collected automatically

Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically receive certain technical information when you visit, which may include your IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring pages, the pages you view, and the dates and times of your visits. This is used to operate, secure and improve the site.

Information you give us

If you email us or submit feedback, we receive the contents of that message and your email address so we can reply.

Cookies & similar technologies

The site and our partners use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) to make the site work, remember preferences, measure usage, and — where enabled — deliver and measure advertising. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site function.

Where required by law (for example for visitors in the EU, UK and similar regions), non-essential cookies are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner, and you may withdraw consent at any time.

Analytics & advertising partners

We use third-party services to understand how the site is used and to help support it financially. These providers may set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies. Depending on what is enabled, they may include:

Analytics — e.g. Google Analytics, to measure traffic and usage.
Advertising — e.g. Google AdSense and its partners, which may use cookies to show and measure ads, including interest-based ads.
Hosting & infrastructure — e.g. Hostinger, which processes technical logs to serve the site.

YOUR AD CHOICES Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info.

How we use information

To operate, maintain and secure the site.
To remember your progress and preferences.
To understand usage and improve the content and experience.
To display and measure advertising where enabled.
To respond to your messages and feedback.
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. Visitors in California may request disclosure or deletion of personal information and opt out of its "sale" or "sharing" as defined by law. To exercise any of these, email connect@vedatom.com. You can also manage cookies in your browser and opt out of personalised ads using the links above.

Children

The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Data retention & security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International visitors

The site may be accessed from around the world, and your information may be processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data-protection laws.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest revision, and material changes will be reflected on this page.

PLEASE NOTE This is a general template, not legal advice. Before or soon after you begin monetizing, have it reviewed against the exact analytics/ad providers you enable and the laws that apply to your audience (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, etc.), and add the matching cookie-consent banner.
