Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Sree Suryamangalam Advaitha Veda Vidhya Peetam ("the temple", "we", "us") collects through sreebagalamukhidevitemple.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

Through our booking, consultation and contact forms, we collect:

• Name
• Mobile number
• Email address
• Gothram
• Nakshatra
• Rashi
• Postal address (for prasadam dispatch, where applicable)
• Your stated concern or request
• Appointment type (for astrology consultation)

We do not collect payment card or UPI details. These are entered directly with our payment gateway and never pass through our website's forms or servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

• Perform the ritual sankalp in your name, gothram and nakshatra
• Confirm your booking or consultation appointment
• Dispatch prasadam to the postal address you provide, where applicable
• Contact you about your booking, consultation, or enquiry

4. How We Store and Share Your Information

Website form submissions are transmitted and stored securely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. Confirmed bookings are also recorded in the temple's own booking records, used for ritual scheduling and accounting. Relevant details are shared internally with temple staff and priests so that the correct ritual, sankalp and prasadam dispatch can be carried out.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. Payment card and UPI details are handled entirely by our payment gateway and are never stored by the temple.

5. Cookies and Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, so that we can improve it. Google Analytics may set cookies in your browser for this purpose. You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

6. Data Retention

We retain booking and consultation information for as long as needed to provide the service, to maintain temple records for accounting and ritual history, and to meet any applicable legal requirement — after which it is safely discarded.

7. Your Rights

You may ask us to correct inaccurate information, or to delete your personal information, by contacting the temple office using the details below. We will act on reasonable requests as soon as we are able to, subject to any records we are required to keep for legal or accounting reasons.

8. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for use by adults booking rituals, consultations or donations on behalf of themselves or their family. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Please review this page periodically to stay informed of any changes.
