Questions about this policy or your information can be sent to the email above.

2. Information We Collect

Information you give us.

  • Contact form or email: your name, email address, and the content of your message.
  • Email list: your email address and, if you provide it, your name.
  • Donations: donations are made through PayPal, which is a separate service. When you click our donation link, you leave our Site and your payment is handled entirely by PayPal under its own privacy policy. We do not see or store your card or bank details. PayPal may share with us your name, email address, donation amount, and any note you include so that we can record and acknowledge your gift.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider and the tools we use may collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring page, and the date and time of your visit. This is used to keep the Site running and secure.

We do not ask for, and ask that you not send us, sensitive information such as health details, government ID numbers, or financial account numbers through the contact form.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Respond to your messages and questions
  • Send event announcements, teaching schedules, and news to people who have subscribed to our email list
  • Record, process, and acknowledge donations
  • Operate, secure, and improve the Site
  • Comply with legal and accounting obligations

Your subscription to our email list, your donations, and your messages to us may reveal your interest in or connection to a spiritual community. We treat that information as private and use it only for the purposes above.

Legal bases (for visitors in the EU/UK, if applicable). We rely on your consent (email list, non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (responding to messages, running and securing the Site), and legal obligations (record-keeping for donations).

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We share it only with service providers who help us run the Site, and when required by law:

  • Website hosting: Hostinger
  • Email list and newsletters: MailerLite
  • Donation processing: PayPal
  • Contact form handling: WPForms Lite

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a transfer of the organization’s activities.

5. Email Communications

We send emails only to people who have subscribed. Every message includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to remove you by emailing info@druponkarmajnana.com. We will keep a minimal record of your unsubscribe so that we do not email you again.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device.

The Site uses only strictly necessary cookies that keep it working and secure. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

If you click an external link or embedded content (for example, PayPal, YouTube, or a map), that third party may set its own cookies under its own policy.

The Site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their policies.

8. How Long We Keep Your Information

Messages are kept indefinitely. Email list information is kept until you unsubscribe. Donation records are kept indefinitely for accounting and legal reasons. Server logs are kept for 30 days.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we hold about you and receive a copy
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Delete your information
  • Unsubscribe from emails at any time
  • Withdraw consent where we rely on it
  • Object to or restrict certain processing (EU/UK visitors)
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (EU/UK visitors)

To make a request, email info@druponkarmajnana.com. We may need to verify your identity, and we will respond as soon as possible. We honor these requests for all visitors, wherever you live. We do not sell your personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

10. Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International Visitors

We are based in the United States, and our service providers may process data in the United States or other countries. If you visit from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed here.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date above, and for material changes we will provide additional notice on the Site.
