3. What Data We Collect & When
We collect personal data directly from you, automatically through your use of our website, and sometimes from third parties when necessary to provide our services. The types of information we collect include the following:
Identification and contact information.
When you interact with us — such as when you register on our website, subscribe to our newsletter, fill in contact forms, or make an inquiry — we may collect your first and last name, email address, phone number, and postal address. This information allows us to identify and communicate with you effectively.
Account and login information.
If you create an account with us, we collect the username and password you choose. Passwords are stored in encrypted form and are never visible to us in plain text.
Transaction and payment information.
When you make a purchase or use a paid service through our website, we collect transaction details such as payment method, order number, billing and shipping addresses, and order history. We do not store full card details ourselves; these are processed securely by our authorized payment gateway providers.
Technical and usage data.
Whenever you visit our website, we automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, operating system, pages you visit, time and date of access, referring and exit pages, and other analytical information. This data helps us maintain site security, analyze performance, and improve the user experience.
Communications and correspondence.
If you contact us directly — for example, by email or through our contact form — we may collect the content of your message, any attachments you send, and other information you voluntarily provide. This allows us to respond to your requests and provide customer support.
Marketing and preference data.
When you opt in to receive marketing communications or participate in promotions, we may collect information about your preferences, such as language choices or interests, as well as whether you open our emails or click on links. This helps us tailor our content and offers to what interests you most.
Optional or sensitive information.
You may choose to share additional or more sensitive information with us, for example when providing feedback or participating in coaching or spiritual development activities. We will only process such data if you voluntarily provide it and we have a clear legal basis to do so.
We do not intentionally collect more data than is necessary to achieve the purposes described in this policy.
4. Legal Bases for Processing (EU / GDPR) & Grounds (UAE)
When you are in the EU, our legal bases under GDPR include:
-
Consent: when you have expressly agreed (e.g. subscribing to newsletter, cookies)

-
Legal obligation: complying with a legal obligation (e.g. tax, regulatory)
-
Legitimate interests: where we have a legitimate interest (provided your rights are not overridden) — e.g. fraud prevention, site analytics, improving services
Under UAE data protection regimes, processing must likewise comply with principles such as lawfulness, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, security, accountability, and cross-border transfer regulations. We rely similarly on lawful grounds including consent, performance of contract, compliance with legal obligations, and legitimate interest (where permissible).

7. International Transfers / Cross-Border Transfers
Because we are operating globally, your data may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside your home country (e.g. servers in the UAE, EU, or third countries).
-
EU persons: we will ensure that such transfers are only made if there is an adequate level of protection (e.g. European Commission adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, binding corporate rules, or other lawful transfer mechanisms).
-
UAE and other jurisdictions: we will comply with applicable cross-border transfer rules (e.g. requiring consent or specific safeguards).
By using our services, you consent to these transfers under the safeguards described.
8. Data Retention & Deletion
We will retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

For marketing / preference data – until you withdraw consent or unsubscribes
-
For technical / analytics data – for a period consistent with business needs

After no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal data
If you wish, you may request deletion or anonymization earlier (subject to legal or contractual constraints).
9. Data Security & Protection

Network security (firewalls, intrusion detection)

11. Your Rights (for EU / GDPR and applicable UAE regime)
Depending on where you are located, you have specific rights concerning your personal data under applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UAE’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). We respect these rights and will respond to all valid requests in accordance with the law.
You have the right to access your personal data. This means you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we process it.
You have the right to rectification, which allows you to ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
You have the right to erasure, sometimes referred to as the “right to be forgotten.” You can request that we delete your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or when you withdraw your consent and there is no other lawful basis for processing.
You have the right to restrict processing of your personal data. This means you can ask us to temporarily limit how we use your data, for example, while we verify its accuracy or the reasons for processing it.
You have the right to data portability, which allows you to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transfer that data to another controller, where technically feasible.
You have the right to object to certain types of processing, particularly where we rely on legitimate interests as the lawful basis for processing or where your data is used for direct marketing purposes.
If our processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before you withdrew it.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been infringed.
-
If you are located in the European Union, you may contact the data protection authority in your country of residence.
-
If you are located in the United Arab Emirates, you may raise a complaint with the UAE Data Office or the relevant free zone authority (such as ADGM or DIFC, if applicable).
We will respond to all legitimate requests without undue delay, and at the latest within the time periods required by law (typically within one month under GDPR). In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.
12. Children & Minors
Our services are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors without parental/guardian consent. If you believe we have collected such data inadvertently, please contact us to request deletion.
