2.6 Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support essential website functions, maintain shopping-cart contents, remember preferences, manage login sessions, improve security, and measure website usage.
Third-party services integrated into our website may also use their own cookies or similar technologies, subject to their settings and policies.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect shopping-cart functions, account login, checkout, or other website features.
Where required, we will provide appropriate information and obtain consent for non-essential cookies or related processing.

3. How We Use Your Information
Depending on the service you use, we may process personal information for the following purposes:
Order fulfilment: To confirm, process, package, ship, and deliver purchases.
Account management: To create and manage customer accounts and provide account-related services.
Customer support: To respond to questions, complaints, requests, and order-related concerns.
Free gifts and books: To verify and fulfil eligible requests and arrange delivery where applicable.
Donations: To process donations, maintain transaction records, and communicate about donation-related matters where applicable.
Customized products: To prepare and deliver customized images or other products based on the details you provide.
Website operation: To maintain and improve the website, content, navigation, and user experience.

We will not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected unless permitted by applicable law or otherwise appropriately authorized.
4. Legal Grounds and Consent
Where applicable law requires a legal basis or consent for processing personal information, we will rely on the basis permitted for the particular activity.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, processing may be necessary to fulfil a service or order you request, comply with legal obligations, address permitted legitimate uses, or act on consent that you have provided.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent through the method we provide. Withdrawal does not make earlier processing unlawful where it was lawfully carried out before withdrawal. It may also mean that we cannot continue providing a feature that depends on the relevant information.
We aim to explain what information is required and why it is needed when you submit an order or use a service.
5. How We Share Information
We do not intend to sell your personal information as a commercial mailing list. However, certain information may be shared when necessary to operate our website and provide requested services.
Depending on the services enabled, recipients may include:
5.1 Payment Service Providers
Payment processors may receive information required to authorize, verify, process, or refund transactions.
5.2 Courier and Logistics Partners
Delivery providers may receive your name, phone number, delivery address, PIN code, and shipment details to deliver products or gifts.
5.3 Website Hosting and Technical Service Providers
Hosting providers, website administrators, security services, backup providers, and technical support providers may process information as necessary to operate, maintain, secure, or restore the website.
5.4 Website Plugins and Third-Party Tools
Certain WordPress or WooCommerce plugins may process information to provide services such as checkout, customer communication, spam prevention, analytics, forms, or security.
The information shared depends on which plugins and integrations are installed and active.
5.5 Professional Advisers and Authorities
We may disclose relevant information to professional advisers, regulators, law-enforcement authorities, or other parties when required or permitted by applicable law, or when necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
5.6 Business Transfers
If our business or website undergoes a merger, restructuring, sale, or transfer, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements and appropriate safeguards.
Where a service provider processes personal information on our behalf, we expect that information to be handled consistently with the service arrangement and applicable legal requirements.
6. Free Gifts, Religious Books, and Donations
HindusGod may offer free books, gifts, devotional materials, or other promotional items. Some offers may require payment of delivery charges or other clearly disclosed fees.
If you request an item that requires delivery, we may collect your name, contact number, address, and the details necessary to fulfil the request. We may share those details with relevant payment and delivery providers.
If donation facilities are available, information needed to process a donation and maintain applicable financial records may be collected by us or by the relevant payment provider.
Please review the information shown on the applicable offer or donation page before submitting your details or making a payment. Any separate terms relating to eligibility, delivery charges, donations, or refunds should be read alongside this Privacy Policy.
7. Religious Interests and Sensitive Information
You may visit pages about particular deities, religious traditions, scriptures, festivals, or devotional practices.
We do not need you to disclose your personal religious beliefs to browse our general content. We ask that you avoid sharing sensitive personal information in public comments, contact forms, or ordinary customer-service messages unless it is genuinely necessary.
Website analytics or technical systems may record page interactions, depending on the tools enabled. We do not intend to use browsing activity to infer sensitive personal characteristics for unrelated purposes.
If you voluntarily provide information for a specific service, we will handle it in accordance with the purpose disclosed and applicable law.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal requirements and legitimate operational needs.
For example:
Order and transaction records may be retained for accounting, tax, legal, warranty, or dispute-resolution purposes.
Customer-support communications may be retained to resolve issues and maintain service records.
Account information may be retained while an account remains active and for an appropriate period afterward where necessary.
Technical and security logs may be retained for a period appropriate to security, troubleshooting, and operational needs.
Information used for optional communications may be retained according to the applicable subscription or consent settings.
When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise handle it in accordance with applicable law and our retention practices.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable measures appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
Depending on our configuration, safeguards may include secure website connections, access controls, software updates, security plugins, backups, and restricted access to administrative systems.
No website, online service, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot promise absolute security, but we aim to maintain reasonable safeguards and address security concerns appropriately.
If you believe your account or information has been compromised, please contact us promptly.

We may ask for reasonable information to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will handle requests in accordance with the applicable legal requirements and timelines.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our website may contain general educational and religious information that families can read together. However, online purchases, account registration, donations, and the submission of personal information should be handled with appropriate adult supervision where required.
If applicable law requires parental consent or additional safeguards for a child’s personal information, we will follow the requirements that apply to our services and processing activities.
If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action where necessary.
12. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to external websites, payment providers, courier tracking pages, social media services, or other third-party platforms.
These services operate under their own privacy policies and terms. We do not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.
Before submitting personal information to an external service, we recommend reviewing its privacy policy and checking that you are using the intended website.
13. International Processing
Some third-party service providers may store or process information on servers located outside your state or country.
Where such processing occurs, we will take the steps required by applicable law and our relevant service arrangements. The availability and location of third-party services may change over time.
14. Marketing Communications
If we introduce newsletters, promotional emails, or other marketing communications, we will handle subscriptions and preferences in accordance with applicable requirements.
Where an unsubscribe option is provided, you can use it to stop optional promotional emails. You may still receive essential messages relating to an order, transaction, security issue, or service request where necessary.
