ShadhinPath.com ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at shadhinpath.com. We operate as an independent educational publication serving the Bengali-American community. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party, ever.
By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you disagree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the site.
We collect information in two ways:
When you voluntarily interact with our site — such as subscribing to our newsletter, submitting a contact form, or leaving a comment — we may collect:
This information is only collected when you actively choose to provide it. You are never required to submit personal data simply to read our content.
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain non-personally-identifiable information when you visit, including:
This data is collected through analytics tools and cookies, described below. It is used in aggregate to improve our content and understand our audience. We do not use this data to personally identify you.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. We use cookies for the following purposes:
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as navigation, page loading, and security. Without these cookies, some parts of the site may not work correctly.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. These cookies collect anonymized data about your visit — such as which pages you viewed and how long you stayed. This helps us improve our content. See Section 3 for more details and opt-out options.
We may display ads through Google AdSense or similar services. These platforms may set their own cookies to show you relevant advertisements based on your browsing behavior. We do not control these cookies directly. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings.
If we offer language preferences, theme settings, or other customization features, cookies may store those preferences so you do not need to re-select them on each visit.
Some third-party services we embed (such as Disqus for comments, YouTube videos, or social sharing buttons) may set their own cookies. These are governed by the respective third-party's privacy policies, not ours. See Section 6 for details on third-party services.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on the site. For more details, see our separate Cookie Policy.
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how visitors use ShadhinPath.com. This includes page views, session duration, traffic sources, and device information. All data is processed with IP anonymization enabled, meaning your full IP address is never stored.
Google Analytics data is used solely to understand and improve our content strategy. We do not use it to personally identify visitors.
Opt-Out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On. You may also use browser settings or privacy-focused browser extensions to block analytics tracking.
For more information on how Google handles this data, see Google's Privacy Policy.
If you subscribe to the স্বাধীন পথ newsletter, we collect your email address (and optionally your name) to send you regular updates, guides, and resources relevant to Bengali-Americans navigating tech careers and personal finance in the United States.
When you contact us through our contact form or by emailing us directly at hello@shadhinpath.com, any information you provide — including your name, email address, and message — is used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.
We use a number of third-party services to operate this website. Each has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data:
We only work with service providers whose privacy practices we believe to be reasonable. We do not grant any of these third parties access to personal data beyond what is technically necessary for the service they provide.
Some links on ShadhinPath.com are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Our affiliate partners may place their own tracking cookies on your device when you click these links.
These affiliate cookies are governed by the respective partner's privacy policies, not ours. For full transparency about our affiliate relationships, please read our Affiliate Disclosure page. We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe are useful to our community.
Our website contains links to external websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
Clicking on a link to an external site does not mean we endorse that site, its content, or its privacy practices. ShadhinPath.com is not responsible for any harm or loss that may result from visiting external websites.
ShadhinPath.com is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at hello@shadhinpath.com.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include using HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. By using our site, you acknowledge and accept this inherent risk.
In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users in compliance with applicable law.
You have the following rights and options regarding your personal information:
Residents of California (CCPA), the European Union/UK (GDPR), or other jurisdictions with specific data rights may have additional rights, including the right to access, correct, or delete their data. Please contact us to exercise these rights.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Continued use of the website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please contact us:
