Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed when you visit Pratibha Goswami’s website, contact us or subscribe to our newsletter.

1. Who is responsible?

The person responsible for this website and the processing described below is:

Pratibha Goswami
Vrindavan, India

For questions about privacy or to exercise your data protection rights, please contact:

marcus@bhakti-yoga.de

Marcus Bond supports Pratibha Goswami in handling website enquiries.

2. Visiting our website

Our website is hosted using Wix, a service provided by Wix.com Ltd., Israel, together with its affiliated companies and service providers.

When you visit the website, technical data may be processed, including your IP address, browser and device information, pages requested, and the date and time of access.

This processing enables the website to function, helps maintain its security and allows technical problems to be identified.

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, necessary hosting and security processing is based on our legitimate interests in providing a reliable and secure website under Article 6(1)(f).

3. Contacting us

If you contact us by email, we process your email address, the contents of your message and any other information you choose to provide. We use this information to respond to your enquiry and handle related correspondence.

Where the GDPR applies, this processing is based on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries under Article 6(1)(f). If your enquiry concerns entering into or performing a contract with you, Article 6(1)(b) applies instead.

Please avoid including sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your enquiry.

[Add the email hosting provider and any website contact-form service used.]

4. Newsletter

You may subscribe to receive email updates about Pratibha Goswami’s teachings, activities and offerings.

We use Wix to manage subscriptions and send newsletters. We process your email address and records relating to your subscription, consent and withdrawal.

Subscribing is voluntary. Where the GDPR applies, newsletter delivery is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a).

[Describe the actual subscription process. If double opt-in is enabled: “After subscribing, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. You will only receive newsletters after confirmation.”]

You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting marcus@bhakti-yoga.de. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

[Confirm whether Wix tracks newsletter opens and link clicks. Describe any active tracking, its purpose and the applicable consent arrangements. If individual tracking is disabled, state this instead.]

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Wix uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality and security.

[Insert the cookies and services actually used, their purposes and durations, and whether analytics, embedded videos or other third-party features are enabled.]

Where prior consent is legally required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, these will only be used after you have given consent. If a consent banner is provided, you can change or withdraw your choices through the website’s cookie settings.

You can also manage cookies through your browser. Blocking necessary cookies may affect website functionality.

6. Who receives personal data?

Personal data may be accessed by people authorised to help operate the website, respond to enquiries or manage the newsletter, where necessary for those tasks.

We also use service providers, including Wix and our email hosting provider, to deliver these services. Data may be disclosed where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

7. International processing

The website operator is based in India. Information you submit may therefore be accessed and processed in India.

Wix and its service providers may also process data in other countries. Where applicable, Wix’s data processing terms provide for international transfer safeguards, including recognised adequacy decisions and standard contractual clauses.

Further information is available at:

You can contact us to request information about safeguards relevant to your data.

8. How long we retain data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

Enquiry correspondence is retained until the enquiry and any necessary follow-up have been completed, unless a legal obligation or a justified need to retain it applies.

Newsletter subscription data is retained while your subscription is active. After you unsubscribe, information no longer needed is deleted. Limited records may be retained where necessary to document consent, comply with legal obligations or ensure that you remain unsubscribed.

Technical data is retained according to its purpose and the applicable service-provider settings.

[Confirm retention periods or more specific deletion criteria for correspondence, technical logs and consent records.]

9. Your rights

Depending on the law applicable to your data, you may have rights to access, correct or delete your personal data, restrict its processing, and receive certain data in a portable format.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Where the GDPR applies and processing is based on legitimate interests, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation. You may object to processing for direct marketing at any time.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority. Under the GDPR, this may be the authority in the EU country where you habitually reside, work or believe an infringement has occurred.

To make a request, contact marcus@bhakti-yoga.de.

10. Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services or data processing practices change. The latest version will be published on this page with its revision date.
