The Sri Sathya Sai Center of Richmond, VA ("the Center") runs this website for its community. We collect only what we need to run the Center's programs, and we never sell or rent your information.
What we collect
- Accounts: your name, email address and password (stored only in scrambled, one-way form). If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and a Google account ID from Google. We do not receive your Google password.
- Forms you send us: SSE (Sai Spiritual Education) registrations, including your child's name, age, grade and any health notes you choose to share, and the parent's name, email and phone; SSE feedback; parent–teacher meeting requests; and messages sent through the Contact page.
- Basic technical logs: like most websites, our hosting provider keeps short-lived server logs (such as IP addresses and pages requested) to keep the site running and secure.
- Anonymous visit counts: to see which pages are useful, the site counts page views and daily visitors without cookies. Each visitor is represented by a code that changes every day, so no one can be followed from one day to the next. Browsers set to "Do Not Track" are not counted.
How we use it
- To run Center programs, including SSE classes, and to reply to your messages.
- To send emails you would expect: confirming your email address, confirming an SSE registration, and notifying Center volunteers about new sign-ups and form submissions.
- To decide who can see members-only pages such as the Photo & Video Gallery.
We do not use your information for advertising, and the site has no advertising or tracking cookies.
Who can see it
Only the Center volunteers who administer this website can see form submissions and account details. We use a few service providers to run the site, and they process data only on our behalf:
- Railway: website hosting and storage
- Brevo: sending email
- Google: "Sign in with Google", only if you choose to use it
We share information otherwise only if required by law.
Cookies
We set one cookie to keep you signed in, plus a short-lived one during Google sign-in. There are no analytics or advertising cookies.
Children
SSE registrations for children are submitted by their parents or guardians. Children's information is used only to run SSE classes.
Your choices
You can update your name and password under My account. To have your account, a form submission or your child's registration corrected or deleted, please contact us and we will take care of it.
