Privacy

What we hold, why we hold it, and what is sacred.

This page is the seeker’s read of how the Academy treats the data and the inner life entrusted to it. The dharmic framing first; the regulatory framing second.

What you share with us

Your arrival

When you arrive, you tell us about yourself — your name, contact, your tradition, what you seek, what you have walked through. This information is held privately by your guide. It is never sold, never shared with third parties, never used for advertising.

What your practice creates

Each day you log your practice, ask questions, journal insights. This is the record of your inner life. It is held with the same confidentiality as a conversation with your teacher in person.

Who sees what

Your guide sees everything you share with the Academy. The administrator of the Academy may see metadata (when you logged in, that you completed an onboarding) but does not read your journals or questions unless your guide explicitly escalates a concern. Other seekers never see your practice or your questions.

Your right to leave

You may close your account at any time. On request, we will export everything you have written and delete your records from our systems.

Sacred Confidentiality

Diksha Mantras & Inner Practice

The most precious teachings of the Adidhara lineage cannot be shared on any platform. They live in the silence between you and your guru.

That which is received in initiation is never spoken of in the marketplace. The mantra, the teaching, the inner experience — these are between you and the Divine, transmitted through your Guru. This is Guhya — the sacred secret that protects the power of the transmission.

The Three Circles of Privacy

Innermost — You and Your Guru Only

Diksha mantras given in initiation. Your private journal of inner experiences — dreams, visions, kriyas, insights. Your Inner World data — fears, habits, aspirations. Personal guidance written for you alone.

Middle — Guru and Administration

Your profile, sadhana log, course progress, questions you have asked. Visible to your assigned Guru and the temple administrators who hold the system in trust.

Outer — Sangha

Your first name only, and the fact that you have practiced today. Nothing more. You may opt out of the Sangha entirely from your profile.

Regulatory

Data protection

Account data is processed lawfully under UK-GDPR Article 6(1)(a) (consent) and stored on encrypted infrastructure within the UK / EU. We retain data for as long as your account is active; on deletion request we export everything you have written and remove your records within thirty days.

Concerns or complaints can be addressed to the Academy or to your own country’s data-protection authority.
