Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

NSKHub (“we,” “us,” “our”) is a digital encyclopedia of Tamil civilization, covering temples, history, cinema, music, and related cultural topics. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit this website, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

2. Information we collect

We collect information in a few limited ways:

• Automatically collected data. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics providers may automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, and timestamps, for security, performance, and aggregate traffic-analysis purposes.
• Local device storage. We use your browser's localStorage to remember small, non-identifying preferences on your own device — for example, your recent searches and your daily visit streak. This data stays on your device; we do not receive or store it on any server, and it is never linked to your identity.
• Cookies and similar technologies. We (and third-party advertising and analytics providers we use, such as Google) may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to recognize your browser, measure site usage, and — where applicable — serve advertising. See Section 4 below for details on advertising cookies specifically.
• Information you provide directly. If you contact us by email, we receive whatever information you choose to include in that message (such as your email address and message content).

We do not currently require account registration, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as financial details, government ID numbers, or precise location data.

3. How we use information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content.
• To understand aggregate traffic patterns and popular content (analytics).
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, abuse, or security incidents.
• To display advertising, including personalized advertising where permitted (see Section 4).
• To respond to inquiries you send us directly.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

This site displays advertising and, once approved, intends to use Google AdSense to serve those ads. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. For more detail on how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Third-party ad vendors, including Google, may also use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.

5. Analytics

We may use privacy-conscious analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site (e.g. which pages are popular, how long people stay). Where such tools use cookies or similar identifiers, they are covered by Section 4 above.

6. Children's privacy

This site is a general-audience cultural and educational resource. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we do not direct advertising specifically at children.

7. Your choices

• You can disable cookies in your browser settings; some site features may not function as intended without them.
• You can clear your browser's local storage at any time to remove your locally-stored recent searches and visit streak.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising using the links in Section 4.

8. Data retention and security

We retain automatically collected technical/analytics data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, and we rely on our hosting and third-party providers' industry-standard security practices to protect it. No method of transmission or storage over the Internet is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time as the site, its features, or applicable law change. We will update the “Last updated” date above when we do.
