Cookies

To improve the responsiveness of the Site for our users, we may use “cookies”, or similar electronic tools to collect information to assign each visitor a unique, random number as a User Identification (User ID) to understand the user’s individual interests using the identified computer. We will have no way of knowing who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie cannot read data off your hard drive. Our advertisers (Google Ads) may also assign their own cookies to your browser (if you click on their ads), a process that we do not control.

Log File Information

Our web servers automatically collect limited information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, including your location, when you visit our site. We may automatically receive and log information from your browser. We may also collect log information from your device, including your location.

LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES

The Site may include links to other websites. Such sites are governed by their respective privacy policies, which are beyond our control. Once you leave our servers (you can tell where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from ours. If you can’t find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site’s homepage, you should contact the site directly for more information.

We do not provide any personally identifiable information to third party websites / advertisers (Google Ads).

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. All information gathered on Divine Hymns is securely stored within the YOGA’S controlled database. The database is stored on servers secured behind a firewall; access to the servers is password-protected and is strictly limited. However, as effective as our security measures are, no security system is impenetrable. And, of course, any information you include in a posting to the discussion areas is available to anyone with Internet access.

However the internet is an ever evolving medium. We may change our privacy policy from time to time to incorporate necessary future changes.

The internet is an ever evolving medium. We may alter our privacy policy from time to time to incorporate necessary changes in technology, applicable law or any other variant.

Any changes we make will be effective immediately on notice, which we may give by posting the new policy on the Site. Your use of Divine Hymns after such notice will be deemed acceptance of such changes. In any case, you are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically on the Site to ensure that you are aware of the latest version.
