Privacy Policy

Devagya Sutram is a Vedic astrology, Vastu and Muhurta consultancy based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. This policy explains what personal information we collect through devagyasutram.com, why we collect it, how it is handled, and the choices available to you.

If anything here is unclear, write to us at hello@devagyasutram.com and we will explain it plainly.

The only place this website asks for personal information is the consultation form on the Contact page. That form asks for:

Date, time and place of birth are the three inputs required to cast an accurate Janam Kundali. Without them a chart cannot be calculated, which is why the form requests them. They are used for astrological calculation and for nothing else.

You may also reach us directly by email or telephone, in which case we receive whatever information you choose to include in your message. Please share only what you are comfortable sharing.

The consultation form does not send your details to a server operated by us. When you submit it, your browser opens your own email application with the information already composed into a draft addressed to counsel@devagyasutram.com. That draft is sent only if and when you choose to send it, and it travels through your own email provider under that provider's terms and privacy policy.

Nothing you type into the form is stored by this website. If you close the draft without sending it, the details never reach us. Once you do send the message, we hold it in our email mailbox in the ordinary way, and the rest of this policy applies to it.

We use what you send us in order to:

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We do not use the details you send us for advertising, and we do not add you to marketing lists you did not ask to join. We do advertise on Google, and the measurement tag that supports it is described in the section on cookies and advertising measurement below.

We rely on your consent — given at the moment you choose to send us your details — as the basis for holding and using them. You may withdraw that consent at any time.

This website loads the Google tag (gtag.js) from Google on every page. It is used to measure the results of our Google Ads advertising — that is, to tell us that an enquiry followed from an advertisement — and it may set cookies in your browser and share your device and browsing information with Google for that purpose. Google acts as an independent controller of the data it collects, and its handling of that data is governed by Google's own privacy policy, published at policies.google.com/privacy.

We do not use this tag to build a profile of you, and we do not combine it with the birth details or correspondence you send us. Those remain separate and are handled as described elsewhere in this policy.

You can prevent this collection. Google offers opt-out controls at adssettings.google.com, most browsers allow you to block or delete third-party cookies, and browser extensions that block trackers will stop the tag from loading. Nothing on this site requires the tag in order to work, so blocking it costs you no functionality.

Beyond this tag, we run no other analytics, and we embed no social-media tracking pixels.

Our web host may keep standard server logs — such as IP address, timestamp and the page requested — for security and reliability purposes. These logs are not used to identify individual visitors.

The content of a consultation is treated as confidential. It is not shared with other clients, published, or passed to third parties for their own purposes.

Personal information may be disclosed only in two narrow circumstances: to the email and IT service providers that host our mailbox, who act on our instructions; and where we are required to do so by law, or where it is necessary to establish or defend a legal claim.

Consultation correspondence and the charts prepared from it are kept for as long as needed to provide ongoing counsel and to maintain our professional records — typically for the duration of our engagement and a reasonable period afterwards.

You may ask us to delete your information at any time, and we will do so unless we are required to retain it by law.

Correspondence is held in password-protected accounts, and access is limited to those who need it in order to prepare your consultation.

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and ordinary email is not an encrypted medium. Please do not send us information more sensitive than the consultation requires. We will never ask you for financial account details, passwords or identity document numbers.

Depending on where you live — including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and, for visitors in the European Union or United Kingdom, the GDPR — you may have the right to:

Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information directly from anyone under the age of eighteen.

Where a consultation concerns a child — a birth chart cast at a parent's request, for instance — we rely on the parent or guardian to provide the details and the consent. If you believe a child has sent us information without that consent, write to us and we will delete it.

This site links to external social media profiles and, from the Contact page, opens your own email application. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services. We would encourage you to read their policies.

We may revise this policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page, carrying the date on which it was last updated. Where a change is material, we will make that clear rather than let it pass silently.
