The Brhmaand Within is not a business venture, a corporation, institution, organization, or a media enterprise. There is no advertising on the site, and therefore most of the standard privacy issues that hassle the rest of the Internet are not of concern in this case. However, as per the data or information law, I am supposed to share with you the data or information my website does receive from you and how it gets used.
Newsletter : If you sign up to receive the Brhmaand Within Newsletter, you provide your name and email address, which are used solely for the delivery of the newsletter to your inbox. I would never share them with any “third parties.” You can always unsubscribe by clicking the red UNSUBSCRIBE link in the top right corner of any edition of the newsletter.
Financial Support : If you choose to financially support the Brhmaand Within — thank you! — you provide your name, support amount, and payment card information. The secure financial service provider that handles these transactions will receive your payment card information, which will only be used to process your financial support. (If you support on a monthly basis, you can cancel your recurring support at any time.)
Communications : If you contact me via email, either by writing to me directly or by replying to the automated email newsletter, I will receive your email address and any other information you choose to provide.
Usage Information: The Brhmaand Within is powered by WordPress, which includes a statistical analytics feature to help publishers understand how their readers use their websites. This means that anonymized information of the pages the Brhmaand Within readers visit and the times of those visits are represented in these statistics. WordPress may add other features to their analytics at any time, which will be available to me as a publisher, though I don’t actually look at these statistics.
I use your information solely to communicate with you if you have opted in to receive the newsletter, to facilitate your financial support, and to better understand how you use the site in order to improve it. I don’t share your information with any “third parties,” though it does live — securely — within the external services that deliver the email newsletter (Brevo) and process paymentss (Stripe). You can read their terms of use by clicking on the following links.
However, it would help if you could look into their data policies when you subscribe to the newsletter or make a kind donation using this website. With every form you submit on this website, you will see a link to applicable terms and conditions and data policies.
Data Transfers: It seems that because The Brhmaand Within is based in India, if you visit the website from another country, your data may be transferred to India and other countries that may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided information.
Data Security: I do everything I can to make The Brhmaand Within and your information as secure as possible. However, this is the Internet — no security measures can be 100% secure for reasons far beyond any one person’s intent and control. Cyberattacks are evolving everyday. Attackers find newer ways to hack into internet accounts and sites. We just do whatever we can for as long as we can to keep us and our content, data secure.
The Brhmaand Within is a one-woman venture of insanity born of an intentional and rich personal journey. I work assiduously to express the core of my quest and wanderings through the written word, podcasts, films, design, photography, and art. This magazine is free of user subscription fee or annoying ads, it shall remain so. if you have connected with my journeys in the Brhmaand Within, please consider supporting my work with a one time or recurring financial sponsorship/patronage. Your support is precious.
Your voluntary support will help me sustain the work, travel, research, update equipment, purchase art material, software subscriptions and maintain the online presence to make it available to all.
Since these are voluntary support payments, we do not have a provision for refund. But still, if after making a payment you feel you shouldn’t have done it or if you face an issue in the above processes, please connect with me using the connect form below or write directly to me at : [email protected]
