Privacy & Data Sovereignty | Īśvara Temple

Privacy & Data Sovereignty Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

At Īśvara Temple, we believe that trust is the foundation of every architectural partnership. Just as we help you build resilient business structures, we are committed to protecting the structural integrity and sovereignty of your personal and professional data.

This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information across our website, fractional leadership services, mentoring, and sacred spaces.

1. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

To ensure full transparency regarding your data, we define our roles as follows:

The Data Controller: Sarka Sakura, operating as Īśvara Temple, is the Data Controller. We decide why and how your data is processed. We are the stewards of your information.
The Data Processor: We use third-party platforms to host our site and manage our operations (primarily Wix.com). These platforms act as Data Processors; they provide the digital "filing cabinet" and infrastructure but may only process your data based on our explicit instructions and under strict Data Processing Agreements (DPA).

2. THE DATA WE COLLECT

We collect only what is essential to serve your business with excellence and integrity.

Identity & Contact Data: Name, email, phone number or social media profile (typically collected via Wix signup forms).
Commercial & Strategic Data: During "Diagnostic Briefings" or business engagements, we may process sensitive information regarding your portfolio health, P&L challenges, and organizational structures.
Financial Data: Payments for mentoring or events are handled via secure, encrypted third-party processors (e.g., Stripe). We do not store your full financial credentials on our own systems.
Technical Data: IP addresses and browsing patterns collected via cookies on the Wix platform to ensure a seamless "Digital Temple" experience.

3. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

We govern your data under the following legal frameworks (UK GDPR):

Contractual Necessity: To deliver services you have requested and engaged with.
Legitimate Interests: To respond to your inquiries, protect our business architecture, and provide you with high-value insights.
Consent: When you voluntarily subscribe to our mailing list or register for a Wellness Event.
Legal Obligation: To comply with UK tax and accounting laws.

4. DATA SHARING & THE "TWINNING" MODEL

Your data is a confidential asset. We do not sell or trade it. We share data only in these specific contexts:

Platform Processors: Our website is hosted on Wix, which stores your data on secure servers. Wix is contractually bound by a DPA to ensure your data is handled in compliance with GDPR.
Fractional Twinning: If your engagement involves a "Twin" (a second senior operator), your data is shared only with that vetted partner to the extent necessary to execute your transformation strategy.
Curated Recommendations: If we identify a trusted practitioner or consultant who can support your growth, we will never share your contact details without your explicit consent.

5. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

As a global business using cloud-based infrastructure (Wix), your data may be processed on servers located outside the UK or EEA (e.g., in the US or Israel). We ensure these transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)and the rigorous security standards maintained by our processors.

6. DATA INTEGRITY & RETENTION

We retain your data only for as long as it serves our partnership or fulfills a legal requirement.

Strategic Engagement Data: Retained for the duration of our partnership + 7 years.
Subscriber Data: Retained until you choose to exercise your right to "Unsubscribe."

7. YOUR SOVEREIGN RIGHTS

You retain full sovereignty over your information. Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

Access your data at any time.
Rectify any inaccuracies in your professional record.
Erase your data (the "Right to be Forgotten").
Restrict or object to specific processing activities.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at: sarkasakura11@protonmail.com.

8. SECURITY MEASURES

We combine the robust technical security of the Wix platform (SSL encryption, 24/7 monitoring) with our own internal disciplined governance to ensure your commercial secrets and personal details remain secure.

9. CONCERNS & COMPLAINTS

If you have questions about your data sovereignty, please reach out to us directly. You also have the right to contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK (www.ico.org.uk).
