Privacy Policy

What you give us. Your answers to an instrument and the results drawn from them; the name and email address you leave when you ask for a report; optional demographic details (life stage and age band); feedback you submit; and, on the learning platform, your account email, course progress and written reflections.

What arrives on its own. A device identifier cookie used solely to prevent abuse of our services; saved progress when you use a resume link, so an interrupted sitting can continue on another device; and aggregate, non-identifying usage analytics for the website.

We do not collect payment-card details on this site. If online payments are introduced, they will be handled by a licensed payment gateway and card data will never touch our servers.

To run your sitting and prepare your report; to have the report reviewed and sent to you personally; to keep your place when a sitting is interrupted; to operate your learning-platform account; to improve the instruments using de-identified, aggregate statistics; and to keep the services safe from misuse. We process personal data on the basis of your consent, given when you submit it. We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

Where a reader indicates they are under eighteen, we require a parent or guardian’s verifiable consent before the sitting proceeds, as the Act requires.

Data is stored with vetted infrastructure processors: our database provider, our hosting provider and our email-delivery provider, each bound by their own security undertakings. Some of these providers may process data on servers located outside India. Reports are delivered to a single reviewing desk before anything reaches a reader. Access is restricted to the people who run the practice.

We set one strictly-necessary cookie (a random device identifier, kept for up to a year) to enforce rate limits and prevent abuse. Your browser’s local storage may hold a resume token and your learning-platform state. We set no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Sitting results and reports are retained for as long as the coaching relationship needs them, so past reports can be re-issued and progress compared over time. Saved-progress blobs exist only to resume an interrupted sitting. You may ask for erasure at any time (below), and we delete data that no longer serves the purpose it was collected for.

You may ask for: a copy of your personal data; correction of anything inaccurate; erasure of your data; and withdrawal of a consent you gave earlier, which stops the processing that rested on it. You may also nominate another person to exercise these rights for you. Write to tbeingco@gmail.com and we will respond within thirty days. If you are dissatisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

If a personal-data breach occurs we will notify the Data Protection Board and affected users as the Act requires. Our grievance contact is the desk at tbeingco@gmail.com, The Being Co., Bengaluru, India.

When this policy changes, the date above changes with it, and material changes will be flagged on this page before they take effect.
