Power of Sakash
Sakash ("the portal", "we") is a meditation and healing portal run by Power of Sakash at www.powerofsakash.com, on the website and in the Sakash Android app. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.
What we collect
- From your Google account when you sign in: your name, email address and profile photo. We never see your Google password.
- Details you give us: for example your name, phone number, address, city, state, country, PIN code, age, whether you are a new meditator or a regular student, and your zone, sub zone and centre.
- Location, only if you allow it: we round it to about 10 km before saving it, so we never store your exact position. To show a place name, a rough position is sent to the OpenStreetMap Nominatim service.
- Your activity on the portal: meditation sessions (when, how long, which kind), whether you are meditating right now, when you were last active, and your settings such as language, reminders, Murli highlights and video progress.
- Healing and Shradhanjali requests: the name, message, dates, relation and photo you choose to send.
- Phone notifications: if you use the Android app, a device token from Google Firebase so we can send you notices and reminders.
- Technical data: a sign-in cookie, and standard server logs (IP address, browser, pages requested) kept for security and fixing problems.
How we use it
- To sign you in and run the portal: live meditation, schedules, the world map, the healing room and notices.
- To show your name and photo to other meditators, and your rounded location (about 10 km) if you allowed it.
- To let portal admins and coordinators review healing requests, manage members and see overall usage figures.
- To send you notices and reminders you can turn off.
We do not sell your data, we do not show ads, and we do not use your data for advertising.
Who can see it
- Other meditators: your name, photo, whether you are meditating now, and your rounded location if you shared it.
- Admins and coordinators: your profile details and requests, so they can look after the portal and its members.
- Healing and Shradhanjali requests are private to the people who review them. Once approved, the name, and the photo if you agreed, may be shown in the healing room.
- Service providers that help run the portal: Google (sign-in, YouTube videos played on the portal, and Firebase notifications), OpenStreetMap Nominatim (place names), Google Fonts, and our hosting provider. They get only what they need for that job.
- We may disclose information if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account is active. Database backups are kept for about 14 days and then deleted. When your account is deleted, your data is removed from the live system straight away and from backups when they expire.
Your choices
- You can edit your details in the portal at any time, and stop sharing your location.
- You can turn off notifications in the app or in your phone's settings.
- You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete your account and its data by writing to us at the address below.
- You can remove the portal's access to your Google account at myaccount.google.com/connections.
Security
The portal is served only over HTTPS, and access to personal details is limited to the people who need it. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.
Children
Children under 13 should use the portal only with a parent or guardian's permission.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
