Privacy

The verses you keep and your notes on them (in Keep), and anything you write in Keep's matching section with the connections you choose, are stored only in your browser, in its local database. They are never sent to us. Clearing your browser's site data deletes them; the app can export a backup file for you.

Your settings stay in your browser too: theme, language, whose telling you read, your reading position, and, if you add one, your key for a language model.

Search, Explore, Read, Keep and its matching run in your browser.

When you use Ask without a language model, the answer is put together in your browser from the app's own data. When you connect a language model, your question and the passages Rāmamayam found for it are sent through our server to the provider you chose (for example Groq, OpenRouter or OpenAI), with your key. That provider's own privacy terms then apply to what it receives. Your key travels with each request and is not stored on our server.

Keep sends a note to a language model only when you press “Explore with AI” in its matching section.

Playing a video in Read loads it from YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com), which has its own privacy policy; nothing from YouTube loads until you press play.

We do not keep your questions or answers. Like any website, our hosting provider records basic request logs (time, address, page requested) for security and to keep the service running; these are kept for a limited period and are not used to profile anyone. Ask sends questions in the body of the request, not in the address, so they are not written to those logs.

We use no analytics, no cookies for tracking, and no third-party scripts. The site's fonts are served from our own server.

Rāmamayam is not a crisis or counselling service. If you mention harming yourself, it shows helplines; please contact one of them, or someone you trust. In India, Tele-MANAS (14416) is free and available at any hour, in Tamil too.

Rāmamayam does not knowingly collect anything from anyone, of any age; there is nothing to sign up for. If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it. Questions about privacy: info@cultivaitefutures.org.
