About Us

We are an educational blog dedicated to delivering high-quality content on Sanskrit, Hindi, and other subjects. Our website address is: https://vidyawhiz.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

We may provide an anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public within the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to our website can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Data Transfer

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
