Privacy Policy
Effective & Last Updated: October 2026 • Domain: vedakosa.com
Summary of Our Commitment
At VedaKosa, we believe that spiritual study and sacred contemplation require utmost sanctity. We do not track your reading habits, we do not require account registration, we do not sell your data, and we do not serve behavioral advertisements.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
Unlike conventional commercial websites, VedaKosa is built without intrusive analytics or marketing pixels:
- We do not record which shlokas or purports you read.
- We do not require user account registration, passwords, or personal profiles.
- We do not embed third-party tracking pixels (such as Facebook Pixel or ad trackers).
- We do not monetize your personal reading habits in any manner.
2. Local Storage and In-Browser Data
To provide a personalized, comfortable reading experience across reading sessions, VedaKosa saves small preference flags directly in your browser’s local storage (localStorage):
- Theme Preference: Light vs Dark mode preference.
- Reader Typography: Your chosen font size and full-width layout setting.
- Apparatus Visibility: Your preferences for showing/hiding Devanagari, IAST, synonyms, and translations.
- Language Selection: English vs Hindi content display toggle.
- Bookmarks & Starred Quotes: Saved verse references and note highlights.
Important: All of this data resides exclusively inside your personal device. It is never uploaded or synchronized to remote servers unless you explicitly choose to export it.
3. Offline Storage & Service Workers
VedaKosa utilizes Progressive Web App (PWA) technologies, specifically Workbox Service Workers and the Origin Private File System (OPFS):
- Cache Storage: Static HTML pages, typography fonts, and icons are cached locally on your device to enable reading when disconnected from the internet.
- OPFS Database: SQLite databases downloaded for instant offline search are isolated in your browser’s private sandbox and are completely inaccessible to other domains.
4. Technical Server Logs
When accessing vedakosa.com, standard technical server logs (such as IP address, user-agent string, and timestamp) are processed temporarily by our hosting infrastructure purely to mitigate DDoS attacks, verify system stability, and diagnose technical errors. These logs are automatically rotated and purged.
5. Your Rights & Clearing Your Data
Because your reading bookmarks and settings are stored locally in your browser, you have absolute control over your data at all times. You can delete all VedaKosa data at any time by clearing your browser cookies and site data for vedakosa.com, or via our Offline Manager.
6. Contact for Privacy Inquiries
