Privacy Policy

Effective date: 22 September 2026

Sacred Vastu uses information about visitors and website interactions to operate the website, provide requested services, maintain security, understand how the website is used, and improve its operation.

In brief: The website uses a combination of ordinary website technologies, security/abuse telemetry, usage telemetry, analytics and third-party services. The related technologies and their purposes are described in this policy and in the Cookie Policy.

1. Information that may be collected

IP address and related connection information.
Browser user-agent, browser language and language preferences, time zone, platform and device type.
Screen resolution, viewport information, device pixel ratio, touch capability, hardware concurrency and, where exposed by the browser, device memory.
Referring page, page name/path and visit time.
Website interaction information such as page-open/visible time, visibility changes, mouse movement counts, clicks, scrolling, key-press counts, copy/cut/paste attempts, right-click counts and related interaction timing.
A randomly generated persistent device identifier stored in browser local storage, used primarily to help recognise recurring devices for security and abuse-prevention purposes.
A local visit counter used to distinguish successive visits from the same browser.
Information entered into website forms. Form telemetry can record field names/types, interaction events and applicable field values. Password and file-input values are excluded from the telemetry described in the website code.
Technical error information generated by the website's JavaScript error logger.
Information supplied through third-party services embedded or linked from the website, such as Google Forms, subject to those services' own policies.

2. Security and abuse prevention

Some telemetry is used to protect the website against scraping, automated abuse, repeated misuse and other security problems. This can include IP information, a persistent device identifier, browser/device characteristics and interaction signals. The website also records certain browser and window behaviour as heuristic signals. These signals are not presented as proof that a visitor is using developer tools or acting improperly.

3. Website usage and analytics

The website uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand website usage and improve the site. Google Analytics is loaded from Google's infrastructure and may process information according to Google's own terms and privacy documentation.

The website also collects first-party usage telemetry, including aggregate-style measures such as time on page, scrolling and interactions. Some of the site's telemetry is retained at an individual session/device level for operational, security or diagnostic purposes rather than being limited to anonymous aggregate statistics.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

The site uses both cookies and browser local storage. These are not the same technology. Examples currently used by the site include the PHP session mechanism, the ipAddress cookie, and local-storage values such as jsEnabled, visitCount and deviceId. See the Cookie Policy for details.

5. Forms and communications

When you submit information through a Sacred Vastu contact or service form, the information is used to respond to your enquiry or provide the requested service. The website may also collect technical and form-interaction telemetry associated with the form. Vendor information may be submitted through an embedded Google Form; Google processes that service separately.

6. Third-party services

The website uses or connects to services operated by third parties, including Google services, jQuery/CDN providers, IP-address lookup infrastructure, payment providers and social-media/web platforms. A link to a third-party website does not by itself mean that the third party receives information merely because the link is present; however, embedded resources or requests made by the browser may involve the relevant provider.

7. How information is used

To operate website functions and sessions.
To process enquiries, forms and requested services.
To maintain website security and investigate abuse or technical incidents.
To understand website usage and improve content, functionality and performance.
To diagnose JavaScript and other technical errors.
To maintain records associated with website operations and requested services.

8. Data sharing

Information may be processed by service providers that support website operation, analytics, hosting, forms, payment processing, security or other requested functionality. Third-party providers may process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent or other processing choices. Requests can be made through the normal Sacred Vastu contact channel. The Cookie Policy also explains the website's cookie and similar-technology practices.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the website, its technologies or applicable requirements change. The effective date at the top indicates the current version.
