Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 September 2026
This policy explains what information is collected when you visit this website, how it is used, and what choices you have. This site is a collection of static pages about the Dasha Mahavidya and related Bengali devotional traditions. It has no user accounts, no comment section and no contact or sign-up forms. We do not ask you for your name, address, telephone number or email address, and we do not store them.
Information collected automatically
Like nearly all websites, the service that hosts these pages records a standard server log entry for every request. A log entry typically contains your IP address, your browser's user-agent string, the page requested, the referring page and the date and time. These logs are used only to operate the site, diagnose faults and prevent abuse. They are not used to build advertising profiles and are not sold or shared, except where disclosure is required by law.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own. Cookies may, however, be set by the third-party advertising described below. A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. If you do, the text, images, navigation and on-page search of this site will continue to work exactly as before.
Advertising
This site does not show advertising at present. If advertising is added later, this section will describe it before it goes live. The points below explain how such advertising generally works.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on sites that carry its advertising.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on this site and may use their own cookies or similar technologies to do so.
You may opt out of personalised advertising, or learn more about how your information is used:
- Opt out of personalised Google ads — Google Ads Settings
- How Google uses information from sites that use its services — policies.google.com
- Opt out of other vendors' cookies — aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.com
On-page search
The search box on the songs page runs entirely inside your own browser. What you type is never transmitted to this site or to anyone else, and it is not stored.
Links to other sites
Some links lead to other websites — song recordings on YouTube, and image credits on Wikimedia Commons. Once you follow such a link you are on that site, and its own privacy policy governs what happens there. This policy does not apply to sites we do not operate, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided such information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
Your rights
Because this site collects no personal information directly, there is normally nothing for us to retrieve, correct or delete. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and objection in respect of personal data relating to you, and the right to complain to your data protection authority. If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected and to ask that it not be sold; we do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, or to ask about advertising cookies set by the vendors named above, use the contact details below — though for those cookies the vendor's own opt-out links will usually be the faster route.
Data retention and security
Server logs are kept by the hosting provider for a limited period in the ordinary course of operating the service, and are then discarded. The site is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new date above. We do not send separate notifications. Please check this page from time to time.

A contact address for questions about this policy will be added to this page shortly.
