👨‍👧 Written for Parents — Plain and Simple

This Privacy Policy explains in plain language what information Kahanizone.com collects, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. We have written this specifically so that parents and guardians can read and understand it in a few minutes — without needing a lawyer.

1. Who We Are

Kahanizone.com is a free Hindi story website for children and families. We publish moral stories, Panchatantra tales, Akbar-Birbal stories, Tenali Rama stories, family stories, motivational stories, and mild child-friendly horror stories. All content on our platform is family-safe and suitable for children.

We do not publish adult content, romantic stories, or any content that is not appropriate for children and families. That is a core commitment of this platform.

Kahanizone.com is a kids and family platform. We do not target adults with inappropriate content. Everything we publish is safe for children to read.

2. What Information We Collect

We keep this very simple. Here is exactly what we collect and what we do not:

Information You Give Us Voluntarily

There is only one way you actively give us your information — our email newsletter signup. If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect:

Your email address
Your name (if you choose to provide it — this is optional)

We collect your email only to send you story updates and new content notifications. That is the only reason. We do not use it for anything else.

Information Collected Automatically

When anyone visits Kahanizone.com, some basic technical information is collected automatically by our website tools. This includes:

Which pages were visited and for how long
What type of device and browser was used (phone, laptop, Chrome, Safari etc.)
The general location by country or city — not your exact address
How you found our website — for example, through Google search or a WhatsApp link

This information is collected in summary form. It does not identify you personally. We use it only to understand which stories people enjoy most and how we can improve the website.

Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect names, phone numbers, or addresses from general visitors.
We do not ask children to fill any forms or create accounts.
We do not track individual users across other websites.
We do not collect payment information of any kind. This website is completely free.

3. Children’s Privacy — Most Important Section

Kahanizone.com is designed for children to read safely. This section is the most important part of our Privacy Policy for parents.

What We Do for Child Safety

We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13.
Children do not need to register, sign in, or share any information to read stories on our website.
We do not have chat rooms, comment sections, or any feature where a child can communicate with strangers.
We review all stories before publishing to ensure they meet our family-safe content standards.

If Your Child Has Submitted Information

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has somehow submitted personal information to Kahanizone.com — for example through our contact form — please email us immediately at kahanizoneinfo@gmail.com. We will find and delete that information without any delay.

A Note About the Bhootiya Kahaniya Section

Our mild horror stories section is recommended for children aged 8 and above. These stories contain no graphic violence, no disturbing imagery, and no adult content. They are written at the level of a campfire ghost story. Parents are encouraged to preview stories in this section for younger children.

4. How We Use the Information We Collect

We use the information we collect only for the following purposes:

Newsletter emails — To send you new story updates when you have subscribed

Website analytics — To understand which stories are popular and improve the site

Technical improvement — To fix errors and make the website load faster

Responding to messages — To reply when you contact us through our contact form

We do not sell your information. We do not share your information with marketers. We do not use your information for any purpose other than what is listed above.

5. Email Newsletter

We send a free newsletter to readers who choose to subscribe. Here is everything you should know:

Subscribing is completely optional. You can read every story on our website without subscribing.
We send story updates, new content announcements, and occasional platform news. We do not send promotional emails or advertisements.
We will never sell, share, or rent your email address to any third party.
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we send. It works instantly.
Parents: please use your own email address to subscribe — not your child’s personal email.

We store subscriber email addresses securely. We retain your email address only for as long as you remain subscribed. Once you unsubscribe, your email is removed from our list.

6. Google AdSense — Advertising on Our Website

Kahanizone.com is free for everyone. To cover our operating costs, we show advertisements through Google AdSense. We want to be completely open with parents about how this works.

What Google AdSense Does

Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google. When you visit a page on Kahanizone.com, Google automatically serves an ad based on the content of that page and general browsing patterns. Google manages this process — not us directly.

Family-Safe Ad Filters

We have enabled family-safe content filters in our Google AdSense account. This means we have asked Google to avoid showing ads that are not appropriate for children. However, because ad serving is an automated process, we cannot guarantee that every single ad will always be perfectly appropriate.

If you ever see an ad on Kahanizone.com that feels inappropriate for a children’s website, please screenshot it and email us at kahanizoneinfo@gmail.com. We will report it to Google immediately and take action.

Google AdSense and Cookies

Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads. These cookies are managed by Google and are governed by Google’s own Privacy Policy. You can manage your ad preferences or opt out of personalised ads by visiting:

Google Ad Settings: adssettings.google.com

We Do Not Control Ad Content

We do not select which specific ads appear on our pages.
We do not endorse any product or service shown in Google ads.
Clicking an ad takes you to a third-party website. We are not responsible for what you find there.
Advertisers do not influence or sponsor our stories in any way. Our content is fully independent.

7. Cookies — What They Are and How We Use Them

A cookie is a tiny file that a website saves on your device when you visit. It helps the website remember things — like which language you prefer or which pages you’ve visited. Cookies are used by almost every website on the internet.

Here are the types of cookies used on Kahanizone.com:

Essential Cookies: These are needed for the website to work correctly. Without them, pages may not load properly.
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager): These help us understand how visitors use our site — which stories they read, how long they stay, and where they came from. No personal information is collected through these cookies.
Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense): Google uses these cookies to show ads on our website. These are controlled by Google, not by us.

Cookies do not identify you or your child personally. If you prefer not to accept cookies, you can change this in your browser settings. Please note that turning off essential cookies may affect how the website works for you.

8. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager

We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand how people use Kahanizone.com. These tools tell us things like which stories are read most, what devices visitors use, and which countries our readers come from.

These tools collect data in an anonymous, aggregated form. They do not identify individual users. The data is used only to improve our website and content.

Google’s use of this data is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy, which you can read at: policies.google.com/privacy

9. Links to Other Websites

Some pages on Kahanizone.com may include links to external websites. When you click such a link, you leave our website and enter a site we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.

We especially encourage parents to supervise children when they follow any external link. We try to only link to reputable sources, but we cannot monitor third-party websites continuously.

10. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold — mainly subscriber email addresses — from unauthorised access or misuse. We use secure systems and we limit who within our team can access this data.

That said, no system connected to the internet is 100% secure. We do our best, and we are transparent with you about what we hold and why. If you ever have concerns about your data, please contact us.

11. Your Rights

If you have subscribed to our newsletter or contacted us, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

Right to access — You can ask us what information we hold about you.
Right to delete — You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
Right to unsubscribe — You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email.
Right to correct — If any information we hold about you is wrong, you can ask us to correct it.

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at kahanizoneinfo@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will change. We recommend checking this page occasionally if you are a regular reader or subscriber.

If we make a significant change — for example, if we start collecting new types of information — we will make a clear announcement on the website.

13. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act 2000 and applicable data protection rules. Any disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of Indian courts.

If anything on this page is unclear, or if you have a concern about your child’s data or safety on our website, please write to us. We read and respond to every message personally.
