Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Your privacy is important. This Privacy Policy explains how information shared through this website and during enquiries for counselling or meditation services is handled.
Information You May Provide
When you contact me through WhatsApp, email, or another contact method provided on this website, you may voluntarily provide information such as your name, contact details, and the general nature of your enquiry.
You are encouraged not to share detailed personal, medical, psychological, or other sensitive information in your initial WhatsApp message or email. Information relevant to counselling can be discussed through the appropriate intake and session process.
Counselling Information and Confidentiality
Information shared during counselling sessions is treated as private and confidential and is handled with professional care.
However, confidentiality may have limitations where disclosure is required by law or where there is a serious and immediate concern regarding the safety of the client or another person.
Where third-party platforms are used for online communication, video sessions, scheduling, or payments, their own privacy and security practices may also apply.
Meditation Services
Information collected for meditation sessions may include basic contact and registration information required to communicate session details, schedules, payment information, or joining instructions.
Participation information will not be sold or used for unrelated marketing purposes without your consent.
Website Data
Like most websites, this website may collect limited technical information such as browser type, device information, pages visited, and general website usage data through WordPress, hosting services, security tools, analytics services, or cookies.
This information may be used to maintain website functionality, security, and understand how visitors use the website.
Cookies
This website may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for website functionality or provided by third-party services integrated with the website.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not function as intended if certain cookies are disabled.
Payments
If you make a payment for counselling or meditation services through a bank, payment application, payment gateway, or other third-party service, the transaction is also subject to that provider’s privacy and security practices.
This website does not intentionally collect or store your banking passwords, card PINs, or similar financial credentials.
Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to external websites, social media platforms, communication services, or other third-party resources.
Once you leave this website, the privacy practices of the external service apply. I am not responsible for the privacy policies or content of third-party websites.
How Your Information Is Used
Information voluntarily provided by you may be used to:
- respond to your enquiry;
- communicate regarding counselling or meditation services;
- arrange appointments or sessions;
- provide registration, payment, or joining information;
- maintain necessary administrative records; and
- comply with applicable legal or professional obligations.
Your personal information is not sold or rented to third parties.
Data Retention and Security
Reasonable care is taken to protect information received in connection with services and enquiries.
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, administrative requirements, professional record-keeping, or applicable legal obligations.
No method of electronic communication or online storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your Choices
You may contact me if you have a question about personal information you have provided or wish to request correction or deletion of information, where such deletion is possible and is not inconsistent with applicable legal or professional record-keeping requirements.
