Last Updated: September 2026 • Effective Immediately
1Our Privacy Philosophy
Kalam Library (kalamlibrary.me) is built with one clear mission: to make spiritual, devotional poetry accessible in multiple scripts to anyone in the world, completely free of charge.
We operate under a simple principle: we collect only what is strictly necessary to keep the website running fast, securely, and reliably. We do not require accounts, we do not require logins, and we never track you across the web.
We Never Sell, Rent, or Monetize Your Personal Data
We will never sell, lease, rent, trade, or transfer your personal information to third-party data brokers, marketers, or advertisers. Your trust is sacred to us, and Kalam Library is not a data-harvesting business.
2Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with our website, we may collect the following limited categories of information:
A. Anonymous Analytics & Performance Metrics
When you browse pages, we collect aggregated, non-identifiable technical data (e.g., your browser type, device category like mobile vs. desktop, approximate geographic region, pages visited, and load speeds). We use standard tools like Google Analytics solely to measure which poems are most requested and verify that our pages load fast on all devices.
B. Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you contact us via our Contact Us form, email, or WhatsApp, you voluntarily provide details such as your name, email address, phone number (for WhatsApp), and the contents of your message or transcription correction. This information is used strictly to reply to you.
C. What We Do NOT Collect
We do not require account registration, passwords, credit cards, or financial payment details. Reading our complete archive of thousands of kalams is open and requires zero login.
3How We Use the Information
We use the limited information collected strictly for constructive, user-focused purposes:
- Optimizing Performance: Identifying slow loading speeds, broken links, or visual glitches across mobile and desktop devices.
- Content Curation: Understanding community interest to prioritize the transcription and translation of requested authors and collections.
- Customer Support: Answering your questions, reviewing community-submitted verses, and rectifying transcription typos.
- Platform Security: Detecting and mitigating automated bots, scrapers, and malicious intrusion attempts.
4Cookies & Local Storage
Cookies are small text files stored locally in your browser. We keep cookie usage minimal and functional:
- Functional & Preferences: Remembering lightweight user preferences (such as your chosen script tab — Urdu, Hindi, Bangla, or Roman English).
- Anonymous Analytics: Used by Google Analytics to recognize unique visitors across browsing sessions without personal identification.
💡 You are in control: You can modify your browser settings at any time to block, disable, or delete cookies. Disabling cookies will not hinder your ability to read and enjoy any kalam on our site.
5Data Security & Infrastructure
We employ standard, modern security measures to safeguard your interaction with Kalam Library:
- Full SSL/TLS Encryption: All communications between your browser and our servers are encrypted via industry-standard HTTPS.
- Secure Cloud Hosting: Our site runs on battle-tested cloud platforms (Next.js infrastructure and Supabase database architecture) with continuous security patch updates and firewall protection.
6Third-Party Services
To provide you with a smooth web experience, we interface with a few trusted service providers who have their own robust privacy standards:
- Google Analytics: For aggregate traffic measurement and performance monitoring.
- Google Fonts: For delivering optimized typography (Nastaliq, Devanagari, and Latin fonts).
- Social Channels (WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok): Direct external links provided for community engagement and support.
7Your Privacy Rights & Choices
Regardless of where you reside, we respect your right to control your information. You may at any time:
- Ask what personal communications or messages we have on record from your past inquiries.
- Request the prompt deletion or modification of any message or email you sent us.
- Opt out of Google Analytics tracking using standard browser extensions or cookie blockers.
