Privacy Policy

Vijaya Chronicle (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This Policy explains what personal information we collect when you read or interact with this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website you agree to the practices described below.

1. Who we are

Vijaya Chronicle is a media house operated from Bangalore, India. Editorial and operational queries can be sent through the contact form on our homepage.

2. Information we collect

We try to keep collection to the minimum a working website needs:

• Information you give us. When you submit the contact form, we receive your email address and the message you typed. We use this only to reply.
• Automatic information. Standard web logs may record your IP address, browser type, the page you requested, and the time of the request. These exist to operate the site and prevent abuse.
• Cookies. A small anonymous cookie (no name, no email) is used so signed-in editors stay logged in to the admin area. The public site does not require you to accept any cookies to read content.

3. How we use information

• To deliver the page you requested.
• To reply to messages you send us through the contact form.
• To diagnose technical issues and protect the site from abuse.
• To measure aggregate readership (page views, popular sections) — never tied to your identity.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not run targeted advertising on this site.

4. Third-party services

We rely on a small number of third-party services to operate this site:

• Hosting & database. Our website and database are hosted with a third-party provider, which receives your request data as part of normal operation.
• Contact form delivery. Messages submitted from our contact form are routed through FormSubmit before reaching our editorial inbox.
• External content. Embedded media (such as YouTube videos) may be served from those providers' servers and subject to their own privacy policies.

5. Children

Vijaya Chronicle is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

6. Your rights

You have the right to ask what information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, or ask for deletion of your personal data where applicable. Send requests through the contact form on the homepage and we will respond within a reasonable time.

7. Security

We take reasonable technical measures (TLS in transit, hashed credentials for the admin area, limited access to production data) to protect information we hold. No internet transmission is ever 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website or applicable law. The “Last updated” date above will always show when this Policy was last revised.

9. Contact
