Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 30, 2025

VividTamil respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have regarding your information.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly (for example, when you contact us, comment, subscribe, donate or buy from the shop) such as name, email address, transaction information and message content. We also collect usage information (pages you visit, IP address, browser, device, and referral) via server logs and third-party analytics tools.

2. How we use your information

We use personal information to respond to your inquiries, process donations and purchases, send receipts and administrative messages, moderate and publish comments, and to improve the site. Aggregated and anonymised usage data helps us understand site trends and improve editorial choices.

3. Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, and provide analytics. Third-party services we use (for example analytics, payment processors, and social embeds) may set their own cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings; however disabling cookies may degrade your experience.

4. Third-party services and links

We link to and may embed content from trusted third parties (YouTube, payment providers, news sources). Those third parties may collect information according to their policies. We encourage you to review their privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Payments & financial data

We use external payment providers for donations and shop transactions. Payment details (card numbers, banking details) are handled by the payment processor and do not pass through our servers in plain form. We store only minimal payment metadata necessary for receipts and reconciliation (transaction id, amount, date).

6. Comments and user content

Comments and user-contributed posts are stored in our data files and may include the information you provide (name, email, message). Comments are moderated; only approved comments are publicly visible. Email addresses are used for moderation notifications and not published.

7. Data retention and deletion

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, and for legitimate business purposes. If you would like your personal data removed or corrected, please contact us at info@vividtamil.com.

8. Children

VividTamil is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to the site, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

9. Security

We implement reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security but will respond quickly to any incidents.

10. Your rights

You may request access to, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact info@vividtamil.com. We will verify requests before taking action to protect privacy and security.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date and post the updated policy here. Significant changes will be communicated on the site.
