Vedic Village ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at vedicvillage.org (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights with respect to it. By using this Site you agree to the practices described here.
We collect information you provide to us voluntarily when you fill out the contact form on this Site. This may include:
We do not collect payment information or create user accounts. When site analytics are enabled, we collect aggregate page-view information and selected interaction events, such as newsletter signups, housing application completion, and contact-method choices. We do not include names, email addresses, phone numbers, or message contents in analytics events.
We use the information you submit solely to:
We will not sell, share, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.
We retain contact form submissions for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they were collected — typically until your inquiry is resolved or you request deletion. You may request that we delete your information at any time by contacting us at the address below.
The Site may use privacy-conscious project analytics to measure aggregate traffic and selected interactions. We do not use Facebook Pixel or third-party advertising trackers.
If we use a form submission service (such as Formspree) to process contact form entries, that service's privacy policy also applies to data submitted through the form. We will only use processors that agree to handle data securely and appropriately.
This Site does not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technology. We may use first-party browser storage to remember functional preferences, such as whether you dismissed a newsletter prompt and the broad area of Vedic Village you selected as your main interest (for example, renting, buying, visiting, events, or community life).
The interest preference contains only the category you explicitly select, expires after 30 days, and can be cleared from the Vedic Village Guide. We do not store conversation text, names, contact details, or inferred personal characteristics in this preference.
This Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Depending on where you reside, you may have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 9 below. We will respond within 30 days.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information you submit. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to exercise your rights, please contact us:
