Last updated: 29 June 2026

Who we are

This website is operated by Nikita Pandey, a meditation facilitator based in India. Nikita Pandey is the sole data controller responsible for the personal data collected through this website and its registration forms. For any privacy-related questions, please contact us at hello@nikitapandey.net.

What data we collect

Presence

When you register for Presence, we collect your full name, email, your selection from the available days, date and time slots, your eligibility based on gender and age confirmation, your health status confirmation, your camera consent, and your acceptance of the EU statutory right of withdrawal, these Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy. Presence is open to women aged 24 to 30 only. Each time slot holds a limited number of participants.

Before proceeding to payment, we record your withdrawal consent. This confirms your agreement that sessions will begin within the 14-day statutory withdrawal period. After submitting your registration form, you will be directed to PayPal, a service provided by PayPal Payments Private Limited, to complete your payment. Your Presence registration will be confirmed only upon receipt of full payment. We do not store your payment details.

Upon registration, we generate a unique Presence ID for each participant, which is shared with you via your session details confirmation email. This ID is used to identify your registration for cancellation, withdrawal, and refund purposes.

Why we collect it

Your personal data is collected solely to manage your session registration, including sending you session access details, payment confirmation, cancellation and refund communications, and any updates relating to your sessions. We do not use your data for marketing purposes, profiling, or any purpose beyond direct session management. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for their own purposes.

Legal basis for processing

We process your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies to our users in the European Economic Area, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA), which applies under Indian law as we are based in India.

The legal basis for processing your registration data is the performance of a contract, specifically to fulfil your registration and deliver the sessions you have signed up for. We do not process your data beyond what is necessary for this purpose.

How long we keep your data

We retain your registration data for a maximum of 24 months following your last session. We retain transaction and payment confirmation records, including withdrawal and cancellation requests, for a minimum of 6 years as required under applicable Indian tax law. All data is permanently deleted once its applicable retention period expires. Where applicable law requires a longer retention period, we will retain data only for the minimum period required.

Your rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights under the GDPR:

  • The right to access the personal data we hold about you.

  • The right to request correction of inaccurate data.

  • The right to request deletion of your data where there is no lawful reason for us to continue processing it.

Please note that where we are required to retain data under applicable law, such as Indian tax law, we may be unable to fulfil a deletion request for that data until the legally required retention period expires.

  • The right to object to processing where that processing is based on legitimate interests rather than the performance of a contract.

  • The right to restrict processing of your data where you contest its accuracy or object to its use.

  • The right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (right to data portability).

  • The right to withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

  • The right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

If you are located in India, you have rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, including the right to access information about your data, the right to correction and erasure, and the right to grievance redressal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@nikitapandey.net. We will respond to your request within one month of receipt.

Data breaches

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of affected participants, we will notify affected participants without undue delay. Where required under GDPR, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.

Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling in connection with your personal data. All registration decisions are made manually by Nikita Pandey.
