Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how thesoulroar.com ("Soul Roar", "we", "us") handles information when you visit this website. Plain version: we don't ask you to create an account, we don't sell anything to you directly, and the only data that reaches us is the ordinary technical data any website receives.
Who runs this site
thesoulroar.com is operated independently by Soul Roar, an editorial project publishing written reflections on contemplative teachings, alongside a YouTube channel of the same name. Questions about this policy can be sent through our Contact page.
What we collect
Reading this site requires no account and no sign-up. When you visit, standard technical information may be collected automatically:
- browser and device type
- approximate location at country or region level
- which pages you opened and how you arrived
- cookies and similar technologies set by us or by the third parties listed below
We do not ask for, store, or process names, addresses, or payment details on this site.
Cookies and third-party advertising
This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or to other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time through Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info, or manage cookies directly in your browser settings.
Analytics
We may use Google Search Console and Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how visitors find and use this site. This data is statistical and is not used to identify you personally. Google's handling of that data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
Embedded content
Articles on this site embed videos from YouTube. When a page containing an embed loads, YouTube may set its own cookies and collect data about that interaction, exactly as if you had visited YouTube directly. That processing is governed by Google's policies, not by ours. Some pages also load web fonts from Google Fonts, which involves a request to Google's servers.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under regulations such as the GDPR (EU and EEA), the UK GDPR, or the CCPA (California) to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data held about you, and to object to certain processing. Because we hold almost no personal data ourselves, most such requests concern the third parties above and are best exercised directly with them — but you can always write to us through the Contact page and we will help where we can.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through this site, contact us and we will remove it.
Changes and contact
This policy may be updated from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with a new revision date at the top, so the date above always reflects the current version.
Questions, corrections, or requests: Contact page.
