Privacy Policy

Gurukol.com doesn't track visitors, run ads, or use analytics. The only personal information we ever have is whatever you choose to type into the contact form, and the only outside service the site loads automatically is Google Fonts.

Information We Collect

Browsing the site collects nothing beyond the standard technical data any website receives when a browser requests a page — your IP address and basic request details, processed by our hosting provider, Cloudflare, as part of normal web server operation. No analytics or advertising scripts run on any page, and there's no account system.

The one place this site asks for anything is the contact form. It has three fields: your message (required), and your name and email (both optional, only used if you want a reply). Nothing else is collected — no cookies, no hidden tracking fields.

What Happens to a Contact Form Submission

When you submit the form, its contents are sent directly to a private issue tracker we use internally to manage incoming questions and corrections — visible only to the small team behind this site, not published anywhere public. We use it only to read and respond to what you sent; if you didn't leave an email, we have no way to reply and won't try to find one.

Google Fonts

This site loads two font families (Newsreader and Source Sans 3) directly from Google's font servers on every page. Per Google's own documentation, this sends your IP address to Google when your browser fetches the font files. We don't control what Google does with that data beyond what's described in Google's own privacy policy.

How We Use Information

Contact form submissions are used only to read and respond to what you sent. We don't build marketing lists, don't add you to any mailing list, and don't use anything you submit for any purpose beyond answering it.

Sharing of Information

We don't sell, rent, or share anything you submit. It's visible only to the people who maintain this site.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are kept as long as needed to resolve the question or issue you raised, then may be closed out but not necessarily deleted from our internal tracker. Standard server request logs are controlled by our hosting provider, Cloudflare, under its own retention policy — not ours.

Your Rights

If you've submitted the contact form and want what you sent deleted, email us via the contact form and reference roughly when you sent it — we'll remove it. Since we don't collect anything beyond that, there's nothing else to access, correct, or delete.

Security

The connection between your browser and this site is encrypted (HTTPS) through our hosting provider. Contact form submissions are transmitted over that same encrypted connection.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for general audiences, including parents researching topics on behalf of their children. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children through any channel other than the contact form, and we don't ask for or want any child's personal information there either.

Changes to This Policy

If what this site collects or does with it changes, this page will be updated first, with a new "Last updated" date, before that change goes live.
