4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where data-protection laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") apply, we process personal data only where an appropriate legal basis exists.

Depending on the circumstances, the legal basis may include:

  • Your consent
  • Performance of a request or service you have initiated
  • Compliance with a legal obligation
  • Legitimate interests, where permitted by applicable law
  • Protection of the website, users or other persons where legally permitted

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5. Contact Information

If you contact HariOmSimran, your message and contact information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, maintain appropriate records or comply with legal obligations.

6. Seva-Related Information

HariOmSimran may provide information or facilities intended to support Seva and facilitate connections between people who wish to help and people who request assistance.

If you voluntarily submit personal information in connection with a Seva request, only information reasonably necessary for reviewing or facilitating that request should be provided.

Because Seva-related circumstances may involve sensitive personal situations, we strongly encourage users not to disclose unnecessary medical, financial, identity or other highly sensitive information.

HariOmSimran will take reasonable measures to limit access to information submitted for Seva purposes.

However, no internet system can guarantee absolute security.

HariOmSimran does not operate as a bank, payment processor, donation wallet or financial intermediary unless explicitly stated otherwise on the relevant page.

7. Information About Children

HariOmSimran is an educational website intended for a general audience.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children unnecessarily.

Parents or guardians should supervise children's use of online services and should ensure that children do not submit unnecessary personal information.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to HariOmSimran unnecessarily, please contact us so that the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.

8. Sharing of Information

HariOmSimran does not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

Information may be shared with service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the website, such as:

  • Website hosting providers
  • Email providers
  • Security providers
  • Analytics providers
  • Technical service providers
  • Other infrastructure providers

Such providers may process information on our behalf and may be subject to their own privacy obligations.

Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law, legal process or a valid governmental request.

9. Third-Party Services and Embedded Content

HariOmSimran may contain links, videos, maps, social-media content, analytics tools or other content provided by third parties.

When you interact with third-party services, those services may collect information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

HariOmSimran does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of third-party services before interacting with them.

10. International Data Transfers

Because HariOmSimran may use international hosting and technology providers, information may potentially be processed in countries outside your country of residence.

Where applicable privacy laws require safeguards for international transfers, appropriate safeguards should be used by the relevant service provider or data controller.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by applicable law.

The retention period may depend on:

  • The nature of the information
  • The purpose for which it was collected
  • Whether an ongoing relationship exists
  • Security requirements
  • Legal or regulatory obligations

12. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website, server or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore avoid submitting unnecessary confidential or highly sensitive information through the website.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply to you, you may have rights including:

  • Right to access your personal information
  • Right to correct inaccurate information
  • Right to request deletion
  • Right to restrict certain processing
  • Right to object to certain processing
