Our Commitment to Privacy
We are strongly committed to keeping your personal data safe. This commitment exists throughout the lifecycle of your personal data, from the design of any service which uses personal data to the deletion of that data.
Sacred Vastu specializes in Vastu, Architecture, Design and certain aspects of Astrology. Our sole focus is to help you connect effectively with your space and surroundings to the maximum extent possible. Your privacy is an asset we hold sacred.
We find the very concept of digital tracking, profiling, and attempts to somehow influence an individual to be abhorrent and fundamentally contrary to the values we stand for. At Sacred Vastu, we believe that our success and focus lie in helping you access your inner strength and individuality, so that you remain the master of your own choices.
The website www.sacredvastu.com is an enabler for those seeking to experience and explore the Vedic systems of Vastu and Astrology, and is not intended for commercial profiling or unrelated purposes of data collection.
Personal Information You Provide to Us
When you contact Sacred Vastu, request an appointment, seek a consultation or communicate with us, you may provide information such as your name, email address, telephone number, address and information relevant to an appointment or meeting.
We use this information to respond to enquiries, arrange and conduct appointments and meetings, provide requested assistance, maintain necessary records and communicate with you about the help you have requested.
Personal information provided for appointments, meetings and enquiries is used solely to enhance your experience, provide value and assist you in our interaction with us. It is not used for marketing, promotional campaigns, affiliate marketing or personalised advertising.
Technical and Website Information
When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically. This may include your IP address, browser and operating-system information, session-related identifiers, timestamps, requested pages and technical information about requests and interactions with the website.
We process technical information as necessary to operate and secure the website, detect and prevent misuse, enforce request limits, identify suspicious or automated activity, investigate security incidents, diagnose technical problems and maintain the availability and integrity of our services.
Our security measures may examine patterns such as repeated requests, request frequency, activity associated with a session and activity associated with an IP address. These checks help identify behaviour that may threaten the operation or availability of the website.
For the website's tip service, security records may include hashed representations of IP addresses and session identifiers, together with request counts, timestamps, rate-limit events and indicators of suspicious activity. These records allow relevant activity to be correlated for security purposes. This description applies to the relevant security records and does not imply that every technical log or record uses hashed identifiers.
Technical identifiers and activity information may constitute personal data under applicable law, depending on the information involved and the circumstances of processing.
We do not use technical security information to build advertising profiles, create consumer-interest profiles or provide personalised advertising. Security-related processing is limited to purposes necessary to protect the website, its services and its users.
Technical information may also include website diagnostic and interaction data, such as browser and device characteristics, visit duration, page and form interactions, and security-related signals; a random device identifier and visit count are stored in browser local storage.
No Sale or Advertising Use of Your Data
We do not sell your personal data.
We do not sell or share data for affiliate marketing or personalised advertising.
We do not use information collected through this website to create advertising profiles based on your browsing interests, purchasing behaviour or activities on unrelated websites.
Website Analytics
We use Umami, a privacy-focused website analytics service, to understand how visitors use our website and to improve its content, functionality, reliability and performance.
Umami is designed to operate without cookies and without cross-site tracking. It provides statistical information about website usage, such as page views, referrers and browser, operating-system and device categories. Its privacy-preserving approach is intended to provide useful aggregate insights without creating advertising profiles or tracking visitors across unrelated websites.
Website analytics is used to understand general usage patterns and improve the website. It is separate from the technical information processed for necessary website security, rate limiting and the investigation of suspicious requests.
We do not use Umami analytics to create personalised advertising profiles or sell visitor information to advertisers.
Third-Party Services
We may use selected third-party services to provide website functionality, forms, analytics, payment facilities, security or other services.
Where a third party processes information in connection with its services, its own privacy policy and terms may also apply.
Our website may contain links to external websites.
Their privacy practices apply once you leave the Sacred Vastu website.
Applicable privacy and data protection laws may contain specific exemptions or lawful bases for particular types of processing, including processing for security, service operation, statistical and other recognised purposes. Those exemptions or lawful bases may apply to some of the ways we use information described in this Policy.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
Website security measures may include session validation, request-rate controls, temporary restrictions on excessive requests, security-event recording and the analysis of suspicious activity patterns.
Security information may be retained and analysed where necessary to investigate incidents, prevent repeated abuse, protect our systems and maintain the integrity and availability of our services.
Information processed for necessary security purposes is used for those purposes and not for advertising, marketing or unrelated commercial profiling.
Data Retention
Sacred Vastu is not obliged to retain any information collected through the website, or to retain any particular information for a fixed period.
Data retention and management involve time and storage resources. Accordingly, our policy is to delete a considerable portion of the information collected when its continued retention is not necessary. Website security information is treated separately and may be retained for as long as necessary to enforce request limits, identify repeated or suspicious activity, investigate incidents and protect the website.
Website analytics information and information provided through enquiries or appointments may be retained for different periods according to their respective purposes.
We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including service delivery, security, website operation, analytics, record-keeping or other procedural requirements. Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
Security records may be retained for the period necessary to enforce request limits, identify repeated or suspicious activity, investigate incidents and protect the website.
Website analytics information and information provided through enquiries or appointments serve different purposes and may therefore be subject to different retention periods.
Your Choices and Privacy Requests
You can control, restrict or delete cookies and browser storage through your browser settings. Depending on the technology concerned, blocking or deleting such information may affect certain website functions.
Umami's cookieless analytics does not rely on a cookie-based tracking opt-out. You may contact us with questions about our analytics practices or the information we process.
If you have a question about how we handle information, or wish to make a privacy request or raise a concern, please use the contact details provided on our website.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, website technologies, privacy practices or applicable requirements. The current version will be published on this page together with its effective date.
