Privacy Policy

Information we collect

You choose what to share. The consultation form currently includes:

• Full name — required, so we know how to address your inquiry.
• Phone number — required, to confirm timing and follow up about your request.
• Email address — optional, if you prefer email replies.
• Preferred consultation type — such as in-person ($25), online, or either.
• Area of guidance — the topic you select, for example Love & Relationship, Career & Business, or Spiritual Healing.
• Message — optional free-text where you may share birth details, preferred days, or your main question.
• Consent confirmation — a checkbox confirming you understand this is spiritual consultation and you consent to be contacted about your request.

How we use information

We use the information you provide to:

• Review and respond to your consultation inquiry.
• Confirm appointment details, availability, and consultation type.
• Prepare for your session using the topic and context you share.
• Keep a record of inquiries for customer management and follow-up on requested services.
• Improve the clarity of our booking experience based on general inquiry patterns.

We do not use consultation messages to send unrelated marketing campaigns without your permission. If you ask to receive updates, you can opt out at any time by contacting us.

Legal and consent basis in plain language

We process your information because you asked us to. When you fill out the consultation form and check the consent box, you are giving us permission to contact you about that specific request. That permission is the basis for using your details to reply, schedule, and provide the consultation you requested.

We also have a legitimate business need to keep a short record of inquiries so we can manage appointments and provide consistent support. We do not use deceptive patterns to collect information you did not intend to share.

Service providers

To run this website and respond to inquiries, we use service providers who help with:

• Website hosting and content delivery, so pages load reliably.
• Storing consultation inquiries and managing contacts in a secure customer-management system used only for the business.
• Internal event logging that helps us track that a consultation request was received and which page it came from, for basic administration.

These providers process information only to perform services for Mahan Babu Shastri LLC and are expected to handle data with appropriate safeguards. We do not share your information with other businesses for their own marketing.

Retention

We keep consultation inquiries for as long as needed to respond to your request, manage scheduling, and maintain a basic record of customer communications. If you ask us to delete your inquiry, we will delete it from the active customer-management system where feasible, subject to any legal obligation to keep short-term business records.

Technical logs are typically kept for a limited time for security and troubleshooting, then removed or aggregated as part of normal hosting operations.

Security limitations

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate for a small business website, including hosting with access controls and limited internal access to inquiry records. No website or electronic storage can be guaranteed completely secure. Transmission over the internet carries risk. Please avoid sending information you would not want shared if intercepted, and contact us by phone at +1 (347) 690-5566 if you are concerned about sensitive details.

We do not claim HIPAA compliance, encrypted storage guarantees, or absolute confidentiality for form submissions beyond careful handling as described here.

No sale of personal information

We do not sell personal information. We do not share your name, phone, email, or message content with third parties for their marketing or allow them to collect that information directly from our forms for their own purposes.

Your consultation inquiry is used only to respond to you and to support the consultation you requested. We do not repurpose the personal story or details you provide for unrelated marketing without your explicit consent.

Cookies and analytics

This site uses only essential cookies or local storage needed for the site to function, such as remembering basic browsing state or form behavior. As of this policy date, we do not use advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or third-party analytics that identify you personally across other websites.

If we add simple aggregated analytics in the future, such as page view counts to improve content, we will update this section. You can manage cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Third-party links

Our site includes links to third-party services you may choose to use, such as:

• WhatsApp — clicking opens wa.me to start a chat. Your use is governed by WhatsApp’s privacy policy.
• Google Maps — for directions to 104-06 111st, South Richmond Hill, NY 11419. Maps may collect technical data per Google’s privacy policy.
• Phone links — tapping call uses your device dialer.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites or apps once you leave our site.

Children’s privacy

Our services are intended for adults seeking spiritual guidance. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 through the consultation form. If you believe a child has submitted information, please contact us and we will review and delete it where appropriate.

• You can request access to the personal information you submitted through our form or ask for corrections.

Policy updates

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our website, services, or applicable law. When we do, we will update the last-updated date at the top of this page and publish the new version on this URL. The updated policy applies from the date it is posted.
