Your username, display name, bio, avatar, published posts, likes, and comments are visible to others. Drafts are not shown publicly. Do not post sensitive personal data you want to keep private.
Service providers
We use trusted providers to run साहित्य सञ्जाल, including authentication, database, and file storage (currently Supabase). They process data only to provide those services under their own privacy terms.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar storage for sign-in sessions. Without them, account features will not work. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
Data retention
We keep account and content data while your account is active. You may delete posts or update your profile from the app. If you want your account removed, contact us and we will delete personal account data within a reasonable time, except where we must retain records for security or legal reasons.

साहित्य सञ्जाल is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
Your choices
- Edit profile details and avatar anytime while signed in
- Unpublish or delete your own posts

- Request account deletion by contacting us
Security
We use industry-standard practices (encrypted connections, hashed passwords via our auth provider, access controls) to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised policy.
