Information we collect

Information you provide

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

  • Email us (directly or via the contact page, which opens your email app with a pre-filled message—we do not host a server-side contact database)
  • Communicate with us by email or other channels you choose

This information may include your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share in your message. We do not currently operate a newsletter signup, surveys, or promotions on this site.

Information collected automatically

  • IP address (often in an abbreviated or aggregated form)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and approximate time on site
  • Referring URL or search terms, when available

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve content organization, performance, and accessibility. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies. You can learn more in Google’s documentation and may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense and advertising

Display ads are not currently shown on Vachanax reading pages. We keep an ads.txt file for publisher verification and may include advertising networks such as Google AdSense if ads return in the future. If ads return, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this site or other sites, including for personalized advertising where permitted. You can manage ad personalization through Google Ads Settings and learn more about how Google uses data at Google’s Partner Sites policy.

  • Provide, operate, and secure the website
  • Respond to questions and feedback
  • Improve layout, discoverability, and reading experience
  • Comply with applicable law and protect our legal rights

Cookies

Our site may use cookies and local storage for essential functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may limit certain features.

Data retention and security

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no online transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children’s privacy

Vachanax is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us so we can delete it promptly.

Third-party links

Our site may link to third-party tools, videos, or book purchases. Those services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before sharing personal information with them.
