Shirdi Sai Global Trust (SSGT) Privacy Policy

Shirdi Sai Global Trust’s privacy policy covers the collection and use of personal information that may be collected by SSGT anytime you interact with SSGT or with Sri Kaleshwar’s website. Please take a moment to read the following to learn more about our information practices, including what type of information is gathered, how the information is used and for what purposes, to whom we disclose the information, and how we safeguard your personal information. Your privacy is a priority at Shirdi Sai Global Trust.

Why we collect personal information

We collect your personal information to help us deliver a superior level of service. Your personal information enables us to keep you posted on the latest messages from Sri Kaleshwar, news, books, and events that you might like to hear about.

If you do not want to receive news and updates from SSGT, you can unsubscribe by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of the email, or by sending an email to webmaster@kaleshwar.org.

What information we collect

The Sri Kaleshwar website allows you to create an account based on your personal information. This saves you time and allows for easier use of our web services. Your pesonal profile will contain your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, gender and birthdate, in addition to other information you may choose to provide. This, for example, makes it easy to register for events and meditation groups.

When we disclose your information

SSGT takes your privacy very seriously. Be assured that SSGT does not sell or rent your contact information to marketers. To help us provide superior service, your personal information may be shared with legal entities within SSGT who will safeguard it in accordance with SSGT’s privacy policy. There are also times when it may be advantageous for SSGT to make certain personal information about you available to companies that SSGT has a strategic relationship with or that perform work for SSGT to provide products and services to you on our behalf. These companies may help us process information, fulfill customer orders, deliver products to you, manage and enhance customer data, or provide customer service. These companies are also obligated to protect your personal information in accordance with SSGT’s policies. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to purchase products, have products delivered to you, receive customer service, provide us feedback to improve our products and services, or access certain services, offers, and content on the SSGT/Sri Kaleshwar website.

At times we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.

How we protect your personal information

SSGT takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

The SSGT/Sri Kaleshwar website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. To make purchases or register for events, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later, or Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it’s transmitted over the Internet.

Integrity of your personal information

You always have the right to access and correct the personal information you have provided. You can help us ensure that your contact information and preferences are accurate, complete, and up to date by checking at www.kaleshwar.org/en/myaccount.

Cookies and other technologies

As is standard practice on many corporate websites, SSGT’s website uses “cookies” and other technologies to help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how much time they spend there. We use cookies and other technologies to study traffic patterns on our website, to make it even more rewarding as well as to study the effectiveness of our customer communications. And we use cookies to customize your experience and provide greater convenience each time you interact with us.

As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. SSGT will not use the information collected to market directly to that person.

In some of our email messages we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the SSGT website. When a customer clicks one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.

In addition we use pixel tags — tiny graphic images — to tell us what parts of our website customers have visited. They also tell us whether emails have been opened to assure that we’re only sending messages that are of interest to our customers.
