Vedic Maths Forum India respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This policy explains what information may be collected when you use this website, why it is used and the choices available to you.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
When you contact us, submit an enquiry or request information about workshops, courses, speaking engagements or partnerships, you may provide details such as your name, email address, telephone number, organisation, subject and message.
Information collected automatically
Our website and hosting systems may record limited technical information such as your Internet Protocol address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, access time and basic server logs. This information helps us operate, secure and improve the website.
2. How we use information
We may use personal information to:
- respond to enquiries and provide requested information;
- coordinate workshops, training, educational programmes and collaborations;
- communicate about an existing relationship or request;
- operate, maintain, improve and protect the website;
- prevent misuse, fraud or security incidents; and
- meet legal, regulatory or administrative requirements.
We use personal information only for relevant, lawful purposes and limit collection to information reasonably needed for those purposes.
3. Cookies
The website may use essential cookies required for WordPress administration, security and basic site operation. Third-party content or services may also set or read cookies according to their own policies. You can restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some site functions may not work as intended.
4. Embedded content and external services
Pages may include embedded videos and content from services such as YouTube. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed domain where available. The site also loads design resources from external content-delivery services, including Google Fonts, Bootstrap and Font Awesome. These providers may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details when their resources load.
Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the provider’s website directly and is governed by that provider’s privacy practices.
5. When information may be shared
We do not sell or rent personal information. Information may be shared only with trusted service providers that support website hosting, form delivery, email, security or programme administration; with professional advisers where necessary; or when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety and security.
6. Data retention
Enquiry information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain appropriate records, manage an ongoing relationship and meet legal or operational obligations. Technical logs and backups may be retained for limited periods for security and continuity purposes.
7. Information security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. No website, internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. International processing
Some technology or service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to use providers with appropriate privacy and security practices, subject to applicable law.
9. Children and young learners
Our educational work serves students, including young learners, but this website is not intended to collect personal information from children without appropriate involvement from a parent, guardian, school or authorised institution. If you believe a child has submitted personal information inappropriately, please contact us so we can review and address it.
10. Your rights and choices
Depending on applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, update or erase personal information associated with you, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, or raise a concern about how your information is handled. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
11. External links
This website may link to third-party websites, social networks or learning platforms. We are not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices of those external services. Please review their policies before providing personal information.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website, our services or applicable requirements change. The latest version will always be published on this page with its updated date.
