This Privacy Policy explains how Amar Khanderia (“we,” “us,” “our”) handles information for the website Walking with Shakti (www.walkingwithshakti.com). We follow Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) and align with other applicable regulations (including the EU’s GDPR) to handle data with transparency and care. 

• Analytics data only. We use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to gather non-identifiable info such as pages visited, time on site, referral source, approximate location, and device/browser type. 
• Server logs. Standard logs for security and site reliability.
• Email sign-ups (embedded). We collect names and email addresses on this website via an embedded MailerLite sign-up form to send email updates about the book and related content (e.g., new articles/resources, invitations to community offerings, and occasional event announcements). Emails may include links to external pages or groups; clicking them is optional. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in our emails. MailerLite stores and processes this data for us.

If you choose to subscribe, your name and email (and simple consent questions) are collected on a page or form provided by our email service provider MailerLite. MailerLite stores the data for us so we can send access details (where applicable), email updates about the book, new articles/resources, and occasional event announcements. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in our emails. 

If you email us directly, we receive whatever you send (e.g., your name, email address, and message) and use it only to respond and manage your request. 

• Analytics (website): to understand traffic and improve content and functionality. 
• Community (email): to send email updates about the book, new resources, and occasional event information if you opt in.

We do not sell your personal information.

We use cookies for analytics and site performance. You can manage cookies in your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect functionality. 

We share data with service providers who help us operate our website and community: MailerLite (email/landing pages), Zoom/Google Meet (events), and Google Analytics (measurement). They process data on our behalf under agreements that limit their use of your information. 

Our service providers may process data outside your province or country (e.g., the United States or the EU). We take steps to ensure appropriate protections are in place. 

• Analytics: retained per the analytics tool’s defaults/configuration. 
• Community emails: retained while you remain subscribed; we remove or anonymize upon unsubscribe or reasonable request. 

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or withdraw consent for your data. To exercise these rights, contact us at amar@walkingwithshakti.com. You can also withdraw consent at any time by clicking Unsubscribe in our emails. 

Our website and community are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this Policy from time to time. The latest version will appear here with the effective date.
