Privacy Policy for Ramr.am
Ram Ram Ji.
Your privacy is sacred to us. At ramr.am (referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”), we treat your personal information with the same reverence we would a sacred offering. This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website, you agree to the terms outlined here.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://ramr.am. We are a spiritual blog and digital images shop dedicated to exploring the wisdom of Sanatana Dharma, the Ramayana, Hanuman Chalisa, and related bhakti traditions.
2. What Information We Collect
We collect information in two gentle ways: automatically and when you choose to share it.
a) Information You Voluntarily Provide
- Contact Forms & Email: When you reach out to us via a contact form or email, we receive your name and email address. We keep these only to respond to your query.
- Newsletter Sign-up: If you subscribe to receive blog updates or spiritual reflections, we collect your name (optional) and email address. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
- Shop Purchases: When you buy a digital image from our shop, we collect your name, email address, and payment-related details. However, we do not see or store your full credit card numbers or sensitive financial information. That is handled entirely by our secure payment processors (such as PayPal, Stripe, or Razorpay). We receive only the transaction confirmation and the details needed to deliver your digital download.
b) Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we use standard technologies to understand how our site is used and to improve your experience:
- Cookies: Small text files placed on your device to remember preferences and understand navigation patterns. Some are essential for the shop to function; others help us see which blog posts touch hearts.
- Usage Data: Your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent, and referring site. This is aggregated and anonymous — it doesn’t identify you personally.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information with honesty and simplicity. Specifically:
- To deliver digital products and customer support.
- To send you our newsletter if you’ve opted in (always with an easy unsubscribe).
- To respond to your messages and connect with you.
- To improve our blog content and shop offerings by understanding what resonates.
- To protect the website from fraud or misuse.
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. Your email address won’t be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies to keep the website running smoothly. These include:
- Essential Cookies: Needed for the digital shop (cart, checkout) and for the site to function.
- Analytics Cookies: We may use privacy-focused tools like Google Analytics (with anonymized IP) to see how many people visit, which chaupai explanations are read most, etc. This helps us serve better content.
You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect your ability to use the shop properly.
We do not currently use advertising retargeting cookies or creepy tracking. If that changes, we’ll update this policy and ask for your consent first.
5. Third-Party Services We Rely On
To provide you with a seamless experience, we use a few trusted partners. Each has its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to read them:
- Payment Processors (e.g., PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay): They handle all transaction security. We never receive your full card details.
- Email Newsletter Service (e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit): If you subscribe, your name and email are stored there solely for sending you our emails.
- Website Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics): We use anonymized data to understand site traffic.
- Hosting Provider: Our website files and data reside on a secure server.
We will only share your information with these services to the extent necessary to perform the functions you’ve requested (like delivering your order or sending the newsletter).
6. Digital Products and Downloads
When you purchase a digital image, the download link is provided immediately and/or sent to your email. Your purchase data is retained securely for our accounting and tax obligations, but your sensitive payment information is never in our possession.
7. Data Retention
We hold onto your personal information only as long as needed:
- Contact form messages: Until the conversation concludes, then up to one year for reference.
- Newsletter subscriptions: Until you unsubscribe.
- Purchase records: As required by applicable tax and commercial laws (generally several years), but without sensitive financial data.
- Anonymized analytics data: Indefinitely, to track long-term trends.
8. How We Protect Your Data
We take the security of your information seriously. Our website uses SSL encryption (https), and we maintain security measures to prevent unauthorized access. However, no method of online transmission is 100% secure. We trust in the Divine, but we also do our practical part.
9. Your Rights Over Your Information
You have full rights to your own soul — and your data. Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), or similar regulations. These generally include:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: Ask us to fix any inaccuracies.
- Erasure: Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”).
- Objection/Restriction: Ask us to stop processing your data.
- Data Portability: Receive your data in a portable format.
- Unsubscribe: At any time, via the link in our emails or by contacting us.
We will respond to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe. To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at [insert email address here].
10. Children’s Privacy
Ramr.am is a spiritual resource created for seekers of all ages, but we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. The digital shop is not intended for unsupervised use by children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us, and we will remove it with care.
11. External Links
Our blog posts may link to other sacred sites, references, or partner pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external websites. We encourage you to read their policies when you visit them.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy occasionally, as our offerings or legal requirements evolve. Any changes will be posted here with a revised date. If the changes are significant, we’ll highlight them or notify newsletter subscribers. By continuing to use the site, you accept the updated policy.
