Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how ChillaxAryan (https://chillaxaryan.com, the “Site”) handles information when you visit. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible.

1. Information we collect

  • Newsletter email: if you choose to subscribe, we store the email address you provide so we can send updates. You can ask us to remove it at any time.
  • Technical / log data: like most websites, our server and hosting provider may automatically record standard request data such as your IP address, browser type, referring page and timestamps. Where we store an IP for abuse-prevention (for example, limiting repeated login or subscribe attempts), it is stored only as a one-way hashed value, not in plain form.
  • Usage counters: we keep aggregate, non-identifying counts (such as daily page views and per-article view totals) to understand what content is useful.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, and we do not sell your personal data.

2. Cookies and local storage

The Site uses a small number of cookies and browser-storage entries:

  • Theme preference — stored in your browser’s local storage to remember dark/light mode.
  • View de-duplication — a short-lived cookie that prevents the same visit from repeatedly inflating an article’s view count.
  • Session cookie — used to keep the site working correctly during your visit (and, for the owner, to stay signed in to the admin area).

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may then work differently.

3. Third-party services

The Site may rely on third parties whose own privacy policies apply to the data they process:

  • Embedded videos — videos are embedded using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced (“no-cookie”) mode where possible. When you play a video, YouTube/Google may receive data subject to their policies.
  • Hosting — our hosting provider processes server logs as part of delivering the Site.

4. How we use information

  • to operate, maintain and secure the Site;
  • to send the newsletter you subscribed to;
  • to prevent abuse, spam and unauthorised access;
  • to understand aggregate usage and improve content.

5. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. Newsletter emails are kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Short-term abuse-prevention records are deleted automatically after a limited period.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect the Site and any data we hold. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal data we hold about you (for example, your newsletter email). To make a request, contact us using the details below.

8. Children

The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
