Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Rajatheertha handles information connected with the public website at https://rajatheertha.blog. The publication covers news, construction, real estate, architecture, technology, business, entertainment, sports and practical guides.

This policy describes the site as it is implemented now and how optional analytics or advertising technologies may operate when they are deliberately enabled.

Information We Collect

We collect information that readers choose to provide and limited technical information needed to operate the website. The site does not require readers to create a public account to read articles.

• Contact form information: name, email address, selected reason for contact, optional subject and message text.
• Newsletter information: email address, source label and the page URL submitted through the newsletter form.
• Push notification information: if a reader deliberately enables browser notifications, the browser push endpoint and public encryption keys are stored so the backend can send optional editorial alerts. Readers can turn this off from the browser or site control.
• Privacy choices: optional consent preferences stored in the browser under the local storage key used by the consent manager.
• Technical records: hosting, security and server logs may include request details such as IP address, browser information, requested URLs and timestamps.

How We Use Information

• To respond to editorial feedback, correction reports, advertising enquiries and general messages.
• To process newsletter subscriptions through the site API and the existing Rajatheertha backend.
• To deliver optional browser notifications about newly published editorial content when a reader has explicitly subscribed.
• To maintain, troubleshoot, secure and improve the website.
• To respect saved privacy choices for analytics, advertising and preference categories.
• To support future lawful advertising or sponsorship disclosures when such features are enabled.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses essential browser storage to remember privacy choices. Optional analytics scripts load only after analytics consent and only when a Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager environment variable is configured.

Advertising scripts are currently disabled by default. If a legitimate advertising provider is enabled later, advertising cookies or similar technologies may be used only through the configured ad layer and relevant consent controls. See the Cookie Policy.

Analytics

The frontend contains support for Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, but those scripts are consent-gated and require configured IDs. If the IDs are empty or analytics consent is not granted, those optional scripts do not load from this site.

Advertising and Google Advertising Services

Rajatheertha may use third-party advertising services in the future or when advertising is deliberately enabled. The current public frontend is configured to keep ads off unless real provider settings, a valid publisher/client ID, real slot IDs and advertising consent are present.

Where Google advertising services are used, Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure and limit ads. Readers can review Google advertising controls at Google My Ad Center and Google's advertising technology explanation at Google Ads technologies.

This policy does not state that Google ads are currently active or that any advertising-provider review outcome is guaranteed.

Affiliate Links

The site has an affiliate-disclosure architecture, but no specific affiliate program is identified in this repository. If affiliate links are introduced, eligible articles should include a clear article-level disclosure and the Affiliate Disclosure should be updated with accurate program details.

External Links and Service Providers

Articles and policy pages may link to external websites for attribution, reader convenience or official resources. External websites control their own privacy practices.

Service providers may process information for hosting, security, analytics, email/newsletter routing, backend API operation and similar technical purposes. Public frontend code must not include admin credentials, database credentials or private service keys.

Retention and Security

The repository does not establish a fixed retention schedule for all contact, newsletter or log data. Data should be kept only as long as needed for the purpose collected, operational requirements or legal obligations.

Reasonable technical safeguards should be used, but no website or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

User Choices

• Use the footer privacy choices control to review optional analytics, advertising and preference choices.
• Use browser controls to delete or block cookies and local storage.
• Use browser notification settings or the site notification control to disable push notifications after subscribing.
• Contact info@rajatheertha.in for privacy questions or requests connected with messages sent to the publication.

Children, International Visitors, Changes and Contact

The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. Visitors may access the site from outside India, so region-specific legal requirements may need a separate legal review when new tracking or advertising features are enabled.

This policy should be updated when the site materially changes its data, analytics, advertising, newsletter or contact handling practices.
