At Satkara Temple, I respect your privacy and the trust you place in me when you visit my website, book a session, purchase a product, join a course or share your information.

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored and protected when you visit https://www.satkaratemple.com or engage with Satkara Temple's offerings.

It applies to the website as a whole, including enquiries, bookings, purchases, online courses, email communications and related services.

​

1. Who I Am

​

2. Personal Information I May Collect

The information collected depends on how you interact with Satkara Temple.

​

Information you provide

When you contact me, make a booking, purchase a product or join a course, I may collect:

• Your name and email address.

• Your telephone number and postal address, where needed.

• Information relating to your enquiry, booking or purchase.

• Payment status, transaction references and instalment arrangements.

• Course registration, attendance and communication records.

• Feedback or testimonials you choose to provide.

• Information you voluntarily share when discussing your needs or experiences.

If you book a bodywork session or another service where relevant health information is needed to help assess suitability or safety, I may ask you to provide limited information for that purpose. I will explain why it is needed and how it will be used.

You are encouraged to share only the information necessary for the service you are seeking.

​

Information collected through the website

When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected by the website platform or other tools in use. Depending on the settings and services enabled, this may include your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and interactions with the website.

Cookies and similar technologies may also be used. Further information is provided in the Cookies section below.

​

3. How I Use Your Information

Your personal information may be used to:

• Respond to enquiries and requests.

• Arrange and manage bookings.

• Process purchases and payments.

• Deliver sessions, ceremonies, courses and other services.

• Provide access to course materials and online gatherings.

• Send booking confirmations, joining instructions and important updates.

• Respond to questions, feedback or complaints.

• Send newsletters or information about future offerings where permitted.

• Maintain appropriate business, financial and accounting records.

• Maintain website security and understand how the website is used.

• Meet legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

I aim to use personal information only where it is relevant and necessary for these purposes.

​

4. The Lawful Bases for Using Your Information

UK data protection law requires a lawful basis for processing personal information. Depending on the circumstances, I may rely on:

Contract: To process your booking, accept payment, provide a product or deliver a service you have requested.

Legal obligation: To maintain records or meet applicable tax, accounting and other legal requirements.

Legitimate interests: To manage and improve the website and services, respond to enquiries, maintain security and protect legal rights, where these interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

Consent: Where you have agreed to a particular use of your information, such as certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies where consent is required.

Where I rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

​

5. Sensitive and Personal Information

Some of the work offered through Satkara Temple may involve personal reflection, spiritual beliefs, bodywork, pregnancy, birth, postpartum experiences or other personal matters.

I recognise that information about health and certain religious or philosophical beliefs receives additional protection under data protection law.

You do not need to disclose private experiences or sensitive information simply to explore the website or take part in a course.

Where sensitive information is genuinely necessary for a service, I will aim to collect only what is needed and explain the purpose. I will identify an appropriate lawful basis and any additional legal condition required for processing special category data.

Please avoid including detailed medical histories, mental health information or other sensitive personal details in general website enquiries unless they are relevant to your request.

​

6. Payments and Purchases

Satkara Temple may use third-party payment providers, including Wix payment services where applicable, to process bookings and purchases.

Payment providers may process your payment details in accordance with their own privacy policies and security arrangements.

I do not intend to collect or store your full payment card details directly. I may receive information such as your name, payment status, amount paid and transaction reference to manage your purchase and maintain business records.

Where you purchase physical products, such as ceremonial cacao, your name, contact details and delivery address may be used to arrange fulfilment and delivery.

7. Email Communications and Newsletters

If you subscribe to the Satkara Temple mailing list, I may use your name and email address to send newsletters, teachings, invitations and information about offerings.

The mailing list may be managed through Kit, formerly known as ConvertKit, or another email service used by Satkara Temple.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in an email or contacting me directly.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent essential communications relating to a booking, payment, course or service you have requested.

I do not sell your email address or share it with unrelated businesses for their own marketing.

​

8. Online Courses, Gatherings and Recordings

When you join an online course or gathering, I may process your registration details, attendance, course-related communications and information needed to provide access to course materials.

Online gatherings may be hosted through third-party platforms. These providers may process certain technical and account information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Where gatherings are recorded, I will explain the arrangements to participants and seek consent where required before recording identifiable participants or their contributions.

I aim to avoid recording sensitive personal sharing wherever possible. Recordings may be used to support course learning, subject to the arrangements communicated for the particular course.

Please be aware that in group settings, other participants may see your display name, hear your voice or see your image if your camera is switched on.

I ask all participants to respect the confidentiality of personal sharing. However, I cannot guarantee that every participant will maintain confidentiality.

​

9. Sharing Information with Third Parties

I do not sell or rent your personal information.

I may share information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate the website and provide my services. These may include:

• Wix: Website hosting, website functions and, where used, bookings or payments.

• Kit: Mailing list management and email communications, where used.

• Payment providers: Processing purchases and payments.

• Course and video meeting platforms: Hosting online courses, gatherings and course materials. Current Podia.

• Delivery providers: Delivering physical products where applicable.

• Website analytics or security providers: Supporting website performance, security and improvement, where enabled.

• Professional advisers: Accountants, solicitors or other advisers where necessary.

• Public authorities: Where disclosure is required by law or otherwise legally justified.

These providers receive or process information only as necessary for their role, subject to the arrangements and legal requirements that apply.

I may also need to disclose information to protect someone's safety, respond to a legal claim, investigate suspected unlawful activity or comply with a legal obligation.

​

10. Cookies and Website Analytics

The Satkara Temple website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function, remember preferences, understand website use or support other features.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate. Other cookies, including certain analytics or advertising cookies, may require your consent before they are placed on your device.

You can manage your preferences through the website's cookie settings, where available, and through your browser settings.

Third-party tools embedded in the website may also collect technical information under their own privacy policies.

The cookies and tools actually in use may change as the website develops. I aim to ensure that the website's cookie settings and notices reflect the tools enabled at the time.

​

11. Social Media and External Websites

Satkara Temple may link to or interact with platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and other external websites.

If you interact with these platforms, the relevant provider's privacy policy applies to the information it collects and how it uses that information.

I do not control the privacy practices of external websites and encourage you to review their policies before sharing personal information with them.

​

12. International Transfers

Some service providers used to operate Satkara Temple may store or process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where UK data protection law applies to an international transfer, I will take the steps required by law. Depending on the circumstances, this may include relying on an applicable adequacy regulation, appropriate safeguards or another permitted transfer mechanism.

You can contact me if you would like further information about international transfers relevant to your personal information.

​

13. How Long Information Is Kept

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking account of legal, accounting and other obligations.

My intended approach is:

• General enquiries: Normally up to two years after the last meaningful contact, unless a longer period is reasonably necessary.

• Bookings and service records: For as long as needed to administer the service, deal with queries and maintain appropriate records.

• Financial and tax records: For the period required by applicable law.

• Mailing list information: Until you unsubscribe or the information is no longer needed, subject to retaining a minimal record where necessary to respect your opt-out.

• Course recordings: For the period communicated to participants, unless there is a lawful reason to retain them for longer.

• Website technical and analytics information: According to the retention settings of the relevant tools and the purposes for which the information is collected.

Information will be deleted or anonymised when it is no longer needed, unless a lawful reason requires it to be retained.

​

14. How Information Is Protected

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

These measures may include using reputable service providers, access controls, password protection and limiting the personal information collected.

No website, email service or online platform can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If I become aware of a personal data breach affecting information for which I am responsible, I will respond in accordance with applicable data protection law.

​

15. Your Privacy Rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information held about you.

• Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected.

• Request deletion of information where the law allows.

• Ask for processing to be restricted in certain circumstances.

• Object to certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interests.

• Object to direct marketing at any time.

• Request a portable copy of certain information.

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

These rights are subject to applicable conditions and exceptions. For example, I may need to retain certain financial records to comply with legal obligations.

16. Children's Privacy

The website and its general offerings are primarily intended for adults. I do not knowingly collect children's personal information through general website interactions for purposes that are not appropriate or lawful.

If you provide information about a child in connection with an enquiry or service, please share only what is necessary and appropriate. Where required, I will seek the involvement or consent of a parent or guardian.

If you believe personal information about a child has been provided inappropriately, please contact me so that I can review the matter.

​

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes to the website, services, technology or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page, with the date of the most recent update. Where a significant change requires further notice, I will take reasonable steps to communicate it.
