Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 July 2026

Dhrishta Educational & Research Foundation ("Dhrishta", "we", "our") is a Section-8 non-profit company registered in India (CIN U85500TN2025NPL178933). This policy explains how our website, dhrishtaerf.org, handles your information. The short version: this is an informational website, and we collect as little as possible.

1. Information we collect

• Information you give us directly. If you contact us by email, phone, or through a form on this site, we receive the details you choose to share (such as your name, email address, and message) and use them only to respond to you.
• Technical data. Our hosting provider (Hostinger) and its content delivery network automatically log basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested. These logs are used for security and to keep the site running, not to profile you.

2. What we don't do

• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
• We do not run advertising or ad-tracking on this website.
• We do not process online payments on this website. Donations are arranged directly with the Foundation — contact us for bank and 80G receipt details.

3. Local storage

This site uses your browser's local storage to remember small preferences (for example, whether you've seen the intro animation) and to power interactive features such as the on-page assistant. This data stays on your device, is not transmitted to us, and can be cleared at any time from your browser settings.

4. Third-party services

To display the site, your browser loads resources from a small number of third parties, each of which may see your IP address as part of serving the request:

• Google Fonts — typefaces used across the site.
• Cloudflare cdnjs — open-source libraries used for visual effects.
• Hostinger — hosting and content delivery.

5. Your rights

You may ask us what personal information we hold about you (typically only correspondence), ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to dhrishtaeducation@gmail.com and we will respond promptly.

6. Children

Our programs serve young learners, but this website is intended for parents, donors, partners, and volunteers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website.

7. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date above. Material changes will be noted on the home page.
