1. Purpose and Scope

THE HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE is an educational and knowledge-oriented initiative intended to encourage learning, reading, research, scientific temperament, critical thinking, practical understanding and the responsible sharing of knowledge.

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, stored, protected and disclosed when individuals visit our website, contact us, provide feedback, or express an interest in educational, research-oriented, community-learning or other knowledge-sharing activities.

The policy applies to the website and, where relevant, communications and activities conducted under the umbrella identity of THE HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE, including the proposed Holistic Learning & Knowledge Centre and related initiatives.

Information is handled according to the features and activities actually operational at the relevant time. A proposed activity or future feature should not be assumed to be available merely because it is mentioned in this policy.

2. Current Status and Transparency

THE HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE is currently in an early stage of development. As of the date of this policy, it is not represented here as a registered company, society, trust, non-governmental organisation or other registered legal entity.

The name identifies an educational initiative and its broader vision. Its use does not, by itself, imply legal registration, government recognition, accreditation, institutional affiliation or statutory authority.

The initiative may explore educational resources, community-learning opportunities, research, knowledge-sharing and voluntary collaboration gradually, subject to feasibility, appropriate safeguards and applicable requirements.

Unless expressly announced and made operational, visitors should not assume that online registration, user accounts, contributor portals, newsletters, donation facilities, payment processing, formal programme enrolment or similar services are available.

We aim to distinguish clearly between existing arrangements, proposed plans and future possibilities.

3. Information We May Collect

We seek to collect only information reasonably necessary for a clear and legitimate purpose.

3.1 Information You Provide

If you contact us by email or another available communication channel, you may voluntarily provide your name, email address, message, feedback, professional interests or information relevant to an enquiry about educational resources or possible collaboration.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information, identity documents, financial account details or information about children unless there is a clear and necessary reason to do so and appropriate safeguards are in place.

An enquiry or expression of interest does not automatically establish a formal relationship, appointment, partnership or commitment.

3.2 Technical Information

Depending on the website configuration and services actually in use, technical information may be processed, such as an IP address, browser and device details, operating system, pages requested, timestamps, error records and information required for security or website performance.

The exact information collected depends on the hosting environment, security settings and services enabled. This policy does not claim that every category is collected during every visit.

3.3 Comments and Submitted Content

If comments or other public-submission features are enabled, information entered through them may be collected and may become visible to others according to the relevant settings.

Please do not publish private, confidential, sensitive or identifying information about yourself or another person in public comments.

If such features are disabled, the corresponding practices may not apply.

3.4 Information About Children

Our educational vision may involve children and adolescents. We recognise the importance of protecting their privacy and safety.

We do not intend to collect unnecessary personal information from children through the website. Any future activity or feature involving the collection of children’s personal information must be assessed for appropriate safeguards, parental or guardian involvement and consent where required by applicable law.

Children should not be asked to publicly disclose their home address, personal contact details, school identifiers, private photographs or other sensitive information.

4. Purposes of Processing

Depending on the circumstances and features actually available, information may be used to:

• Respond to enquiries and messages.
• Communicate about educational resources and knowledge-sharing activities.
• Understand requests for guidance, expertise or possible collaboration.
• Review feedback and improve website content and accessibility.
• Maintain website security, reliability and technical functionality.
• Detect spam, misuse, unauthorised access and security concerns.
• Maintain necessary records of communications and decisions.
• Meet applicable legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.
• Protect the rights, safety and legitimate interests of individuals.

We will not knowingly use personal information for a materially unrelated purpose without an appropriate lawful basis or other legally required permission.

We do not claim to conduct personalised profiling, targeted advertising or marketing communications unless such activities are actually introduced and appropriately disclosed.

5. Voluntary Collaboration and Financial Transparency

THE HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE may explore voluntary educational, intellectual, research-oriented and community-learning collaboration.

Depending on feasibility and the requirements of a particular activity, people may express interest in contributing through books, educational materials, knowledge, professional expertise, mentoring, guidance, workshops, demonstrations, training, research, documentation, review, evaluation, writing, administrative assistance, digital support, website or email assistance, social-media support, appropriate space, infrastructure, technology or other relevant resources.

These are possible forms of collaboration, not a representation that every activity is operational or that a contribution has been accepted.

Voluntary assistance is unpaid. A person does not become entitled to a salary, honorarium, commission, profit share or other financial benefit merely by expressing interest or providing voluntary assistance.

A free contribution of books, materials or resources is distinct from a purchase or other transaction. Any future purchase, payment, reimbursement, fundraising or financial arrangement would require separate clarity, appropriate authority, compliance with applicable requirements and transparent terms before it is offered or undertaken.

This website should not be understood as representing that donation collection, payment processing, paid contributor arrangements or financial-benefit programmes are currently operational.

An enquiry about collaboration does not automatically constitute an appointment, an accepted contribution, an ongoing engagement or a guarantee that an activity will take place.

6. Children’s Privacy, Consent and Safeguarding

The proposed Holistic Learning & Knowledge Centre may focus on learners approximately 11–15 years of age. This educational focus does not change the legal definition of a child under applicable law.

Children’s safety, dignity, privacy and best interests must remain central to activities involving them.

Where personal information is collected from or about a child, appropriate safeguards must be considered, including:

• Obtaining verifiable parental or guardian consent where required by applicable law.
• Explaining the purpose of collection in clear and age-appropriate language.
• Collecting only information reasonably necessary for the relevant activity.
• Limiting access to authorised persons who need the information.
• Avoiding unnecessary disclosure of names, contact details, locations, school details or other identifying information.
• Considering separate and appropriate consent before using identifiable photographs, videos, recordings, testimonials or other documentation.
• Respecting applicable requirements concerning consent withdrawal, deletion and the handling of children’s information.

Consent to participate in an educational activity should not automatically be treated as consent to publish a child’s photograph, video, name or personal story.

Activities involving children should have appropriate arrangements for responsible adult conduct, professional boundaries and context-specific safeguarding. Bullying, harassment, intimidation, discrimination and inappropriate conduct should not be permitted.

This section describes the standards intended to guide relevant activities. It does not claim that a particular child-facing programme, registration process or safeguarding facility is currently operational.

7. Legal Basis, Consent and Applicable Law

Personal information will be handled on an appropriate legal basis, as required by applicable law and the circumstances. Depending on the situation, this may involve consent, responding to a request, compliance with a legal obligation or another legally recognised basis.

Where consent is relied upon, it should be informed and obtained in an appropriate manner. Where applicable law requires a particular form of consent, notice, parental or guardian consent, or a mechanism for withdrawing consent, those requirements must be followed.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, and other applicable Indian laws may be relevant to the website and its activities. The applicability and commencement of individual legal provisions depend on the relevant notifications, commencement dates and circumstances.

This policy is intended to support transparent privacy practices. Publication of this document alone does not establish compliance with every legal requirement. The policy and actual data-handling practices should be reviewed and updated as applicable legal provisions take effect and activities develop.

8. Sharing of Information and Service Providers

We do not intend to sell personal information to third parties.

Information may be accessed or shared where reasonably necessary and appropriate, including:

• With website hosting, infrastructure, security or technical service providers supporting the website.
• With email or communication service providers when necessary to send or receive messages.
• With additional service providers if new website features are introduced and their involvement is necessary.
• Where disclosure is required by applicable law or a lawful order.
• Where reasonably necessary to protect individuals, address misuse or respond to security incidents.

Service providers may process information according to their applicable terms, privacy practices and contractual arrangements. Their involvement and any international transfer of information depend on the services actually used.

We aim to limit disclosure to information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose. We do not claim to share information with a particular third party unless that arrangement is actually in place.

9. External Websites and Embedded Content

The website may contain links to external websites, educational resources, videos, publications or third-party services.

External websites and embedded services may collect information, use cookies or apply their own privacy policies. Their practices are not controlled by this policy.

Visitors should review the privacy notices and terms of relevant third-party services before providing personal information or interacting with embedded content.

An external link does not, by itself, imply endorsement, affiliation or responsibility for the external service’s data-handling practices.

10. Data Retention and Deletion

We aim to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining appropriate records, addressing security concerns or meeting legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary according to the type of information, the purpose of processing, technical requirements and applicable law.

Information may be deleted, anonymised or securely disposed of when it is no longer required, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate record-retention needs.

Copies may remain temporarily in technical backups, email systems or service-provider records until their ordinary deletion cycles operate. Requests for deletion will be assessed in light of applicable law, technical feasibility and any legitimate reason for continued retention.

No fixed retention period is promised unless a specific period is separately stated for the relevant activity.

11. Information Security

We recognise the importance of protecting personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.

Depending on the information and services involved, reasonable measures may include access controls, secure account practices, software updates, hosting-level safeguards and appropriate handling of communications.

No website, electronic transmission, storage system or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot promise absolute security.

If a personal-data breach occurs, the response and any notifications will be handled in accordance with applicable legal requirements and the circumstances of the incident.

12. Privacy Rights and Requests

Subject to applicable law and the circumstances of a request, you may contact us to:

• Ask about the handling of information you have provided.
• Request correction of inaccurate information you previously supplied.
• Request deletion of information where applicable law permits or requires it.
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, subject to applicable legal consequences.
• Raise a concern about the handling of personal information.
• Request information about a privacy-related enquiry where applicable.

Requests should be sent to info@theholisticperspective.org, with sufficient details to identify the relevant communication or information.

For privacy and security, we may need to verify the identity or authority of the person making a request. We will not ask for unnecessary sensitive documents for a routine enquiry.

Some requests may be limited by applicable law, legal obligations, the rights of other individuals or technical circumstances. We will consider and respond to requests in accordance with applicable requirements.

Where a request concerns a child, we may need to establish the authority of the parent or guardian or apply other legally required safeguards.

13. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used by WordPress, the hosting environment, security tools or other website services, depending on the configuration and features enabled.

These technologies may support essential website functions, security, user preferences or performance. Additional analytics or other technologies may apply if corresponding services are introduced.

The actual cookies and their purposes depend on the website configuration and the third-party services in use. This policy does not claim that any specific analytics, advertising or tracking service is currently active.

You can review your browser settings to restrict or delete cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect the functioning of some website features.

Where applicable law requires consent before particular non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, the relevant consent requirements should be implemented before those technologies are activated.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when website features, services, activities, data-handling practices or applicable legal requirements change.

The latest version will be published on this page, with the “Last Updated” date revised when material changes are made.

Visitors should review this page periodically, especially before submitting personal information or participating in a newly introduced activity.

A policy update does not, by itself, mean that a proposed programme, service, registration facility or other activity has become operational.

15. Contact

Please include “Privacy Policy Enquiry” in the subject line where appropriate. Do not include sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for your enquiry.

16. Important Clarification

This Privacy Policy communicates the initiative’s privacy principles and explains how information may be handled in connection with its website and activities.

It does not represent that THE HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE is a registered legal entity, that every proposed initiative is operational, or that every technical feature described conditionally is currently enabled.

The policy does not create an employment relationship, formal appointment, financial entitlement, partnership or promise of service. Any future activity involving children, personal information, formal collaboration, financial transactions or additional digital services must be assessed separately and conducted with appropriate safeguards, authority and legal compliance.

This document is a practical policy draft, not a legal opinion or a guarantee of compliance. Before introducing online registration, child-facing online features, fundraising, payment processing or other material changes in data collection, the actual practices and legal requirements should be reviewed by a suitably qualified professional.
