The Wheel of Days: Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 October 2026

At The Wheel of Days (wheelofdays.blogspot.com), we respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how your information is collected, used, and handled when you visit our website.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who may access it, and the choices available to you regarding your personal information.

1. About This Website

The Wheel of Days is a free daily almanac available in English and Hindi, featuring historical events, notable people, special days, and calendar-related information, with a particular focus on Assam and the Dima Hasao district.

All publicly available almanac pages can be accessed without signing in. Signing in is optional. Any visitor may sign in to save bookmarks, and authorised staff members can also sign in to use staff tools and personal profiles.

2. Information We Collect

The information we handle depends on how you use the website.

2.1 Sign-in Information

You may sign in using your Google account or your email address with a six-digit verification code sent to your email.

When you sign in, we receive your name and email address. We use this information to authenticate your identity, display your name on the website where applicable, and, for staff tools, verify whether you are on the approved staff list.

If you sign in with Google, we also receive your Google profile picture and save a copy as your profile photo. Only you and the site administrator can see it. You can remove it at any time from My Account, My profile, Remove.

2.2 Sign-in and Sign-out Records

We maintain records of sign-ins and sign-outs to manage access to the website's features. These records may include your name, email address, sign-in method, sign-in time, and the time your session ended. The site administrator can access these records for administrative purposes.

2.3 Bookmarks

Any signed-in member can bookmark day pages using the Bookmark option. When you save a bookmark, we store your email address and the date of the bookmarked page in the website's Google Sheet, so that your bookmarks appear in My bookmarks when you sign in again.

Your bookmarks are shown only to you when you are signed in. They are stored in a spreadsheet that the site administrator can open and read. You can remove a bookmark at any time from the bookmark icon or from My bookmarks.

2.4 Staff Profiles

Approved staff members and the site administrator may optionally provide a profile photograph, mobile number, and date of birth. Other signed-in members have no mobile number or date of birth on file; their only profile detail is a profile photograph, which is copied from their Google account if they sign in with Google.

These details are visible to the relevant signed-in user and the site administrator. Providing this information is optional, and you may update or remove it at any time through the My Account section of the website.

2.5 Printed Script Records

When approved staff members print scripts through the website, a record of the printed scripts is maintained. Staff members can view their own printing records, while the site administrator can access all printing records. This information is used to manage and maintain the website's staff services.

2.6 Suggestions, Feedback, and Contact Forms

When you submit information through the Suggest or Contact form, we may collect:

• The relevant page or date.

• Your message or feedback.

• An optional source link.

• Your name, if provided.

• Any image you attach.

We use this information to review suggestions, investigate reported errors, and improve the accuracy and functionality of the website. We do not sell the information submitted through these forms.

2.7 Language and Display Preferences

Your selected language (English or Hindi) and display preference (light or dark mode) are saved in your browser so that the website can remember your choices on subsequent visits. These preferences are stored locally in your browser and are not sent to us for this purpose.

3. Sign-in Sessions and Browser Data

A sign-in session remains active for up to three days or until you sign out, whichever occurs first.

While you are signed in, your browser retains the information needed to maintain your session. For approved staff members, the browser also retains the duty roster and profile details after they have loaded. This information is removed from the browser when you sign out or when your sign-in session ends, as applicable.

4. How We Handle and Protect Information

We handle personal information only as necessary to operate the website, provide its features, manage access, maintain relevant records, and respond to feedback or requests.

Access to staff-related information is limited according to the website's intended functionality. Information held in the website's Google Sheet, including sign-in records and bookmarks, can be accessed by the site administrator. We take reasonable steps to handle information responsibly. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

5. Data Retention and Deletion Requests

We retain information for as long as necessary to operate the website's features and manage access and records.

If you wish to request the deletion of personal information held by us, please email thewheelofdays@gmail.com and describe the information you would like deleted.

We will review your request and take appropriate steps to remove the information we hold about you, subject to applicable legal requirements and legitimate operational needs.

Please note that deleting information held by us may not automatically remove copies retained by third-party service providers or information stored in your own browser.
