At DhaVish (www.dhavish.com), your privacy is a priority. This policy outlines how we handle your data, ensuring transparency in our collection of feedback, story insights, and contact information.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information through several interaction points on our website:

A. Information You Provide Voluntarily

1. Feedback & Reviews: When you review our stories, we collect your Name, Email Address, Message, and Star Rating (1–5).
2. Contact Form: When you reach out via our contact page, we collect your Full Name, Mobile Number, Email Address, and Message.
3. Newsletter Subscription: We collect your Email Address if you opt-in to our updates.

B. Information Collected Automatically

1. Story Insights: To understand which content resonates, we track story views. This involves recording your IP Address and the specific Story ID viewed.
2. Technical Data: Browser type, device information, and time spent on the website.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data collected to:

1. Improve Content: Use IP-based view tracking to analyze popular topics and "Story Insights."
2. Community Interaction: Process and display user reviews and feedback on our stories (subject to moderation).
3. Communication: Respond to inquiries made through the contact form or send subscribed newsletters.
4. Security: Verify that form submissions are legitimate and not automated spam.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to enhance your experience:

1. User Preferences: To remember your settings and interactions.
2. View Tracking: We use a viewed_posts cookie to ensure our story view counts are accurate and to prevent duplicate counting from the same session.
3. Third-Party Cookies: Partners like Google AdSense may use cookies to serve relevant advertisements based on your visits to this and other websites.

You can manage or disable cookies through your individual browser settings.

4. Third-Party Services & Security

We utilize trusted third-party services to keep our site functional and secure:

1. Security (Cloudflare Turnstile): We use Cloudflare Turnstile on our feedback and contact forms to protect against spam and bot attacks without compromising user privacy.
2. E-Commerce (Amazon): Our products are hosted on Amazon. When you navigate to Amazon to complete a purchase, their privacy policy governs that transaction.
3. Analytics: We use internal tools and potentially third-party analytics to monitor general website performance and active story counts.

5. Data Protection & Retention

We implement technical measures (such as slug-hashing for feedback and secure database tables) to protect your information.

1. Retention: We keep contact form data and reviews as long as necessary to provide our services or until you request deletion.
2. Disclosure: We do not sell your personal data. We only share data if required by law or to protect the safety and rights of DhaVish users.
