By submitting this information, you expressly and voluntarily consent to BhummiVastu collecting and using it for the sole purpose of delivering the consultation service you have requested.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

When you visit our website, certain usage data is collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This data is collected via Google Analytics (GA4) and is used solely to understand how our website is used and to improve the user experience.

2.3 Cookies

Our website uses cookies for essential functionality and analytics. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; however, some features of the website may not function correctly as a result.

3. How We Use Your Information

The personal information you provide is used exclusively for:

  • Delivering your consultation — preparing your Vastu analysis, birth chart, or other booked service
  • Scheduling and communication — confirming your appointment, sending session details, and follow-up support
  • 30-day follow-up support — responding to queries raised within the follow-up period included in your consultation package
  • Service improvement — understanding client needs to improve consultation quality (in anonymised, aggregate form only)

We do not use your personal information for unsolicited marketing without your consent, and we do not sell or trade your personal data to any third party.

4. Sensitive Astrological Data

Birth date, time, and place of birth are considered sensitive personal data used exclusively for astrological analysis. You share this information voluntarily and for the specific purpose of receiving the consultation service you have booked. This data is treated with strict confidentiality and is never shared, disclosed, or transferred to any third party without your explicit written consent.

5. Data Sharing

BhummiVastu does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service delivery: With tools or platforms (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet) strictly necessary to conduct your consultation session.
  • Analytics: Anonymised, aggregate usage data is processed by Google Analytics to improve our website.
  • Legal obligation: If required to do so by applicable law or a valid order from a competent Indian court or government authority.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to deliver your consultation and follow-up support, and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes. Birth chart and Vastu analysis data may be retained for up to 3 years to allow for follow-up consultations. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct any inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal data, subject to any legal retention obligations
  • Withdraw consent to our processing of your data at any time (note: this does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at minusaini@bhummivastu.com.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. All consultation-related data is handled with discretion and accessed only by Acharya Minu Saini personally.

9. Adults Only — Age Requirement

BhummiVastu services are available to adults aged 18 and above only. We do not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 18. Any booking submitted on behalf of a minor will be declined.

10. Use of Anonymised Consultation Content

As described in our Terms and Conditions, Acharya Minu Saini reserves the right to use anonymised, non-identifying themes and scenarios from consultations for educational content — including blog articles, vlogs, case studies, and social media posts published under the BhummiVastu brand.

Your personal identity is fully protected in this process:

  • No name, address, contact detail, property location, employer, or any other identifying information will ever be published.
  • Content will be made generic enough to serve as an educational illustration of Vastu or astrological principles only.
  • Thematic similarity between published content and your consultation does not constitute a breach of this policy, as many clients share common life patterns and challenges.

By booking a consultation, you consent to this anonymised, educational use of consultation themes. Your personal data, as defined in this Privacy Policy, remains confidential at all times.

Our website may contain links to third-party platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Zoom, and Google Meet. BhummiVastu is not responsible for the privacy practices of these external services. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

12. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects anonymised usage data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
