Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 18, 2025

The Sanjan Nagar Institute of Philosophy & Arts (SIPA) values your privacy. We are a non-profit organization based in Lahore, Pakistan, focused on philosophy, music, audio engineering, and photography. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information on our website (sipa.org.pk).

We collect only the information needed to run the site and share details about our work. We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two main types of information:

• Automatically Collected Information (when you visit the site):
  • IP address, browser type, device information, and pages you view.
  • This helps us understand how people use the site and improve it. We may use tools like Google Analytics for this (no personal names or emails are linked).
• Information You Provide Voluntarily:
  • If you fill a contact form, sign up for newsletters, or send us an email: your name, email address, phone number, or message.
  • We do not collect payment details (no donations are processed on the site right now).

We do not collect sensitive personal information (like health or religious details) unless you share it voluntarily in a message.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information to:

• Respond to your inquiries or messages.
• Send updates or newsletters (only if you sign up).
• Improve the website and our programs.
• Follow legal requirements if needed.

3. Cookies and Similar Tools

Our site may use cookies (small files stored on your device) for basic functions, like remembering your preferences or tracking site visits anonymously.

• You can manage cookies in your browser settings.
• We use Google Analytics to see general visitor trends (no personal identification).

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties, except:

• Service providers (like web hosting or analytics tools) who help run the site – they must keep it safe.
• If required by law (e.g., government request).

5. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss or unauthorized access. However, no website is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute safety.

6. Your Rights

You can:

• Ask to see what information we have about you.
• Request corrections or deletion.
• Opt out of newsletters anytime (use the unsubscribe link or contact us).

Just email us at the address on our Contact page.

Our site is not aimed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from them.
