Privacy Policy

Himalayan Sound Meditation (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal data when you visit our website or use our services, in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP).

​

Our website is built and hosted on Wix.com Ltd. Wix provides the online platform that allows us to present our services, manage enquiries, and accept bookings.

 

Wix processes personal data on our behalf as a data processor and is contractually bound to comply with applicable data-protection laws. Wix may store data on secure servers located in multiple jurisdictions, including outside Switzerland.

Your personal data is processed for the following purposes:

 

  • Responding to enquiries and communications

  • Managing and delivering booked sessions

  • Website functionality, security, and performance

  • Improving our services and user experience

We only process personal data that is necessary for these purposes.

​

Legal Basis for Processing

Under Swiss data-protection law, we process personal data based on:

 

  • Your consent

Payments

If you choose to book and pay for services through our website, payments are processed securely via Wix Payments and its authorised payment service providers (such as Stripe or other payment processors supported by Wix).

 

When making a payment, your payment details (such as card information) are processed directly by the payment provider and are not stored by us. We receive only the information necessary to confirm and manage your booking, such as your name, contact details, payment status, and transaction reference.

 

Payment service providers process personal data in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable data-protection laws. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of the relevant payment provider for further information.

Appropriate technical and organisational measures are in place to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

​

Some personal data may be transferred or stored outside Switzerland (for example, by Wix or Google). In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with Swiss data-protection requirements.
