Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you contact Karigiri Prasad ("we", "us", "our") through this website, WhatsApp, phone or email to enquire about or book a Vedic astrology, numerology, tarot or gemstone consultation, we may collect the following information:

• Name — to address you correctly and personalise your consultation.
• Phone number — to contact you regarding your enquiry or booking, and for WhatsApp communication.
• Email address — to send booking confirmations, follow-ups or written consultation notes.
• Date, time and place of birth — required for accurate birth chart (Kundli), numerology and compatibility readings.
• Location / country — to schedule consultations across time zones and confirm service availability in your region.
• Any details you voluntarily share in a contact form, message or consultation regarding your questions or concerns.

2. How We Use Your Information

Information collected is used solely to:

• Respond to enquiries and confirm consultation bookings.
• Prepare accurate astrology, numerology, tarot or gemstone guidance.
• Send appointment reminders, rescheduling notices or follow-up notes.
• Improve our website and services based on general, non-identifying usage patterns.

We do not use your personal or birth-detail information for any purpose beyond delivering the consultation you requested, unless you separately agree (for example, to feature an anonymised testimonial).

3. Contact Forms, WhatsApp & Phone Enquiries

Messages sent via our contact form, WhatsApp (+91 89707 28346) or by phone are received directly by Karigiri Prasad. WhatsApp messages are subject to WhatsApp's own privacy practices in addition to this policy. We recommend not sending sensitive financial information (such as full payment card numbers) over WhatsApp or email.

4. Cookies & Analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are viewed and how visitors arrived here. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time; the site will continue to function, though some features may be limited.

5. Data Protection & Retention

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect the information you share with us from unauthorised access, loss or misuse. Consultation and birth-detail information is retained only for as long as needed to provide your consultation and any reasonable follow-up, after which it is deleted or anonymised, unless you ask us to keep it on file for future readings.

6. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. Your details are not shared with third parties except:

• Where required by law or a valid legal request.
• With service providers who help operate this website (such as hosting or analytics providers), bound to confidentiality.

7. Your Rights

You may, at any time:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
• Ask us to delete your information, subject to any legal record-keeping requirements.
• Withdraw consent for future contact or marketing communication.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the rights described in Section 7 above and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. For visitors in India, we handle personal data in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and applicable Indian IT rules.
