Who We Are

This Privacy Policy describes how Sãnjh Sutrã collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website, subscribe to our journal, or make a purchase. By using our site, you agree to the practices described here.
Comments & Conversations
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information shown in the comments form — your name, email address, and any message you choose to share — along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This data helps us identify and prevent spam, ensuring our community remains a thoughtful, curated space.
Gravatar Integration
An anonymised hash of your email may be shared with the Gravatar service to check for a profile picture. Their privacy policy is at automattic.com/privacy.

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if set via Gravatar) becomes visible to the public alongside your comment on our site.

If you upload images to our website, please be mindful of embedded metadata. Images can carry EXIF data — including GPS coordinates that reveal where a photograph was taken.
Sãnjh Sutrã does not actively collect or use EXIF data for any purpose, but we encourage all contributors to practise digital mindfulness when sharing imagery.
