Silence and Self
Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 5, 2026
Silence and Self has been created under The Safe Space project as a gentle way to support silence practice and workshop participation. This page explains what information may be collected, why it may be needed, and how it should be treated.
Information we may collect
We may collect basic profile details such as name, age, gender, city, phone or WhatsApp number, workshop interest, participation level, practice sessions, reflections, scanned handwritten notes, community submissions, and app usage information.
Why we use it
We use this information to help you save your practice rhythm, keep reflections and notes in your profile, respond to workshop enquiries, understand city-wise interest, improve the app, and maintain a respectful community space.
Private reflections and notes
Your private reflections and scanned handwritten notes are meant for your own profile. They should not be published unless you deliberately submit something for community sharing.
Community sharing
If community sharing is enabled, posts submitted by logged-in users will be review-based before appearing publicly, so the space remains calm, respectful, and aligned.
WhatsApp enquiries
If you choose to enquire through WhatsApp, your message and phone number will be handled through WhatsApp and used to respond to your workshop-related request.
Not a medical practice
Silence and Self is not a medical practice, therapy, diagnosis, treatment, emergency service, or replacement for professional care. It is a silence practice and workshop support program.
Data deletion and contact
You may request deletion of your app profile data, reflections, scanned notes, or community submissions by contacting us at neerajgabaconnects@gmail.com or WhatsApp +91 98676 88750.
Contact on WhatsAppData Retention
We retain user data only for as long as needed to provide the Silence and Self app services, support users, comply with legal obligations, and maintain app security.
Account and profile information, including name, email address, phone number, city, login details, practice history, private reflections, and saved notes, is retained while the user account remains active.
Users may request deletion of their account and associated personal data through the app or by contacting us through the support details listed in this policy. After a deletion request is verified, we delete or anonymise the user’s personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain limited records for legal, security, fraud-prevention, tax, accounting, or dispute-resolution purposes.
Workshop enquiries, support requests, and related communication records may be retained for up to 3 years so that we can respond to users, manage workshop participation, and maintain business records, unless deletion is requested earlier and retention is not legally required.
Temporary technical logs, security records, and backup copies may be retained for up to 90 days before being deleted or overwritten through routine system processes.
We do not retain user data longer than necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
