Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Sri Kumar Naganathan Gurukkal (“the Gurukkal”, “we”, “us”) handles information you share through saivapriest.com (“this website”). We respect your privacy and collect only what we need to respond to you and perform the ceremonies you request.

Information we collect

We collect information only when you choose to give it to us:

• Ceremony request form: your name, the ceremony you are interested in, preferred date, city/location, preferred language, service mode, and any details you add (which may include information such as nakshatra or gothra).
• When you call, text, WhatsApp or email us: your phone number or email address and the contents of your message.

We do not ask for or need financial or payment information through this website.

How we use your information

We use the information solely to:

• respond to your enquiry and answer your questions;
• discuss, schedule and perform the ceremony you request;
• suggest an auspicious muhurtham and the materials (samagri) needed.

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not send marketing or promotional emails.

Cookies, analytics and tracking

This is a simple, static website. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics, and we do not build profiles of visitors. Web fonts are served by Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address as a normal part of delivering the fonts; this website sets no tracking cookies.

Sharing your information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only where strictly necessary — for example, if a secure form-delivery service (such as Formspree, FormSubmit or Web3Forms) is used to deliver your message to us, or if required by law.

How long we keep it

We keep your information only as long as needed to respond to you and provide the ceremony you requested, after which it is deleted or retained only as required for our records or by law.

Your rights

You may ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information you have shared with us. To do so, contact us using the details below.

• California residents (CCPA/CPRA): we do not sell or share your personal information, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
• EU/UK residents (GDPR): our lawful basis for processing is your consent and our legitimate interest in responding to your request; you may withdraw consent or object at any time.

Children’s privacy

Many ceremonies involve children and are arranged by their parents or guardians. This website is intended for adults arranging ceremonies; we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

Security

This website is served securely over HTTPS and is a static site with no login, database or stored payment details, which greatly reduces security risk. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Links to other websites

This site may link to third-party services (for example WhatsApp or a scheduling tool). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above shows when it was last revised.
