Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 September 2026

Sri Lanka Heritage ("we", "us", "our", or "the site") is a resource dedicated to documenting and promoting the cultural, historical, and architectural heritage of Sri Lanka. This Privacy Policy explains what limited information we collect, how it is used, and how it is protected.

What Information We Collect

Sri Lanka Heritage is a content and publishing website. We do not require visitors to create an account, and we do not ask the general public for any personal information to browse or read articles on this site.

The only personal information handled by this site relates to the administration panel used by authorised staff to publish and manage content. This includes:

  • A username and an encrypted password, used solely to log in to the administration panel.
  • A temporary session identifier (cookie), used only to keep an administrator logged in while managing the site. This is described further in our Cookie Policy.

If you contact us directly by email, we will hold the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message) only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry.

What We Do Not Collect

We do not use analytics software, advertising trackers, or third-party marketing tools on this site. We do not sell, rent, or share any information with third parties for marketing purposes, because we do not collect visitor data of that kind in the first place.

How Administration Data Is Protected

Administrator passwords are stored using industry-standard one-way encryption (hashing) and are never stored or transmitted in plain text. Access to the administration panel is restricted to authorised personnel only.

Email Correspondence

Email addresses on this domain (for example, addresses ending in @srilankanheritage.org) may be used for general enquiries and correspondence. Any information you send us by email is used solely to respond to you and is not shared with third parties.

Links to Other Websites

Articles on this site may reference or link to external sources for historical or educational context. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any external website, and we encourage visitors to review the privacy policy of any third-party site they visit.

Children's Privacy

This site does not knowingly collect personal information from children. As no personal information is collected from general visitors, this is not applicable to the ordinary use of the site.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the site operates. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
