Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2, 2026

At Marathikahani.com, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website, which provides free Marathi stories (goshti, kahani, moral tales, mythological stories, and more) for entertainment, cultural enjoyment, and personal growth.

By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information, as our site is primarily for reading stories without requiring registration or accounts.

  • Directly from you: If you contact us (e.g., via email for feedback, suggestions, or inquiries), we may receive your name, email address, phone number (if provided), message contents, and any attachments or additional details you share.
  • Automatically collected:
    • Log files: Standard web server logs record your visit, including IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time of visit, referring/exit pages, and pages viewed. This data is anonymous and not linked to personally identifiable information. It helps analyze trends, administer the site, and gather broad demographic insights.
    • Cookies and similar technologies: We may use cookies to store preferences (e.g., language or theme if available) and improve user experience. Third-party services (if any, like basic analytics or ads) may place cookies.

We do not require registration, collect payment details, or knowingly collect sensitive personal data.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information only to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the website
  • Respond to your inquiries or feedback
  • Analyze site usage trends anonymously (e.g., popular stories)
  • Prevent fraud or abuse
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like most websites, we use cookies for functionality and analytics. You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings (see your browser’s help section for details).

  • Third-party cookies: If we use services like Google Analytics (for anonymous traffic insights) or display ads (if applicable), third parties may set cookies. For example, Google may use cookies for ads based on visits to our site and others. Visit Google’s ad settings at https://adssettings.google.com for opt-out options.
  • Note: Traditional third-party advertising cookies (e.g., DART) have been largely phased out or shifted to user-consent models as of 2026 due to privacy changes.

We have no direct control over third-party cookies. Review their policies for more details.

Third-Party Links and Services

Our site may link to external resources (e.g., related stories or tools). This Privacy Policy applies only to Marathikahani.com. We are not responsible for third-party sites’ practices—review their privacy policies.

Children’s Privacy

Protecting children online is a priority. Marathikahani.com does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your region). Stories are family-friendly, but we encourage parents/guardians to supervise children’s use.

If you believe a child has shared personal information, contact us immediately—we will promptly remove it if found.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your data:

  • Under GDPR (for EU users): Right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, or data portability.
  • Under CCPA/CPRA (for California residents): Right to know collected data, delete it, or opt out of sales (we do not sell data).
  • In India (under emerging Digital Personal Data Protection Act): Similar rights to access, correct, or erase data, with consent-based processing.

To exercise rights or inquire, contact us- we aim to respond within one month.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Changes will be posted here with the revised date. Continued use after changes means acceptance. Check back periodically.
