Privacy Policy

Hindu Aarti (hinduaarti.com) is a free library of Hindu devotional texts. You do not need an account to use the website or the AI connector, and we do not sell personal data.

Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are read and how visitors find us. It uses cookies and collects data such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by blocking cookies.

Contact form. If you write to us through the contact page, we receive your name, email address and message by email (delivered through Resend). We use them only to reply to you.

Videos. Pages with embedded YouTube videos load them from YouTube, which may set its own cookies when you play a video.

On your device. Your browser stores preferences such as light or dark theme, and the offline app caches pages so they open without a connection. This stays on your device.

The Hindu Aarti connector at https://www.hinduaarti.com/api/mcp lets AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude look up our content. See how to connect.

• It requires no login and has no user accounts.
• It receives only the inputs your assistant sends to a tool, such as a search phrase, a text id, a date or a rashi. It does not receive your conversation, your name or your account with the assistant.
• Every tool is read-only. It returns public content from this website and cannot change or store anything on your behalf.
• We do not keep tool inputs beyond the standard request logs kept by our hosting provider (Vercel), such as IP address, time and error details, which are used for security and to keep the service running and are deleted on the provider's normal schedule.
• Links in tool results carry a tag (utm_source=ai-assistant) so our analytics can count visits that came from an AI assistant. It does not identify you.

The assistant you use (for example OpenAI or Anthropic) handles your conversation under its own privacy policy.

We do not sell or rent personal data. We share it only with the service providers named above, to run the site, or when the law requires it.

Hindu Aarti is a general-audience site. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

We will update this page if our practices change and change the date at the top. Questions or requests about your data are welcome through the contact page.
