PRIVACY POLICY
This policy explains what happens to information you give this website, and what the website collects automatically. The Heart Compass is operated by Shamnas Nasirudeen from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.

What you give us. If you use the contact form, we receive your name, your email address and whatever you write in the message. We use it only to reply to you and to keep a record of the conversation. We do not sell it, and we do not use it for advertising. It is stored in [name your email provider, for example Gmail] and kept for [state a period, for example two years] after our last contact, then deleted.

Please do not use the contact form to send detailed health information. A web form is not a secure channel. Anything sensitive is better discussed in a session.

What the site collects automatically. This website uses Google Analytics to understand how people find and use it. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects your IP address, your approximate location, your device and browser, and the pages you visit. That information goes to Google, which may process it outside India, including in the United States. We use it only in aggregate, to see which pages are useful. We have not enabled advertising features and we do not use it to identify individuals.

You can refuse analytics cookies through the consent banner when you first visit, change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link, or install Google's browser opt-out add-on.

Hosting. This website is built and hosted on Sitejet. Server logs are generated as a technical necessity of serving the site.

Counselling records are separate. Anything discussed in a session is handled under counselling confidentiality, not under this website policy. It is not stored on this website or connected to anything described here.

Your rights. You can ask what information we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom you also have the right to object to processing and to complain to your data protection authority. If you are in India, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act gives you comparable rights. To exercise any of these, write to [an email address you will actually monitor].

Children. This website is not directed at children under 18. If counselling involves someone under 18, consent is handled directly with a parent or guardian and not through this website.
