Go Kshetra (“we”, “us” or “our”) operates the website gokshetra.com, an informational guide to Hindu temples, pilgrimages, darshan timings and religious almanacs. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit this website, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to gokshetra.com only.
Go Kshetra is an informational website. We do not sell products, we do not take temple bookings, and we do not ask you to create an account.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you use our contact form, you provide your name, your email address and the message you write. We use it only to reply to you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our server records standard log data each time a page is requested: your IP address, your browser and device type, the page you asked for, the page that referred you, and the date and time. This is used to keep the site working, to diagnose faults and to detect abuse.
Cookies. A cookie is a small file stored by your browser. This site and the third-party services described below may set cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will still work, though some things may be less convenient.
Advertising
This website displays advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including ads based on your previous visits to this or other websites. Third-party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on sites across the internet.
You can control personalised advertising at Google My Ad Center, and opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info or optout.networkadvertising.org.
Measurement
We use Google’s measurement tag to understand which pages are read and how people arrive at them. This tells us things like which temple guides are most useful; it is not used to identify you personally.
Affiliate links
Some of our articles contain affiliate links to Amazon. If you buy something through one of those links we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Clicking an affiliate link may allow Amazon to set its own cookies, governed by Amazon’s privacy policy and not ours. Every article containing such a link says so, and our full affiliate disclosure explains it.
How we use information
- To deliver the pages you ask for and keep the website secure and available.
- To reply to messages you send us.
- To understand which content is useful so we can improve it.
- To display advertising, which is what pays for the site.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Information is handled on our behalf by the service providers that make the site work: our web host, our advertising provider and our measurement provider. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights, safety or property.
Retention
Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry. Server logs are kept for a short period for security and diagnostic purposes.
Your choices
You can block or clear cookies in your browser, turn off personalised advertising using the links above, and ask us what information we hold about you or ask us to delete it. Write to us at the address below and we will respond within a reasonable period.
Children
This website is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The site is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Other websites
Our guides link to temple devasthanam websites and other third-party sites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices. Please read their own policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always on this page, with its effective date below.
Effective date: 9 October 2026.
