Privacy policy

This policy explains how Satkāra Society collects, uses and protects the personal data of people who visit the satkarasociety.com website, join the waiting list, apply, become members of the circle or take part in its Experiences. We only collect what is necessary and we never resell any data.

Last updated: 22 September 2026.

01 Data controller

The data controller is Satkāra Society, sole trader, 16 chemin Pellier, 97430 Le Tampon (Réunion Island), France — SIREN 843 846 221 (SIRET 843 846 221 00029). Contact: hello@satkarasociety.com — +33 6 99 54 87 81.

02 Data we collect

You can browse the entire site without providing any personal data. We only collect:

  • the information you submit via the waiting-list or application form: surname, first name, email address, phone number, as well as anything you choose to share about your background and aspirations;
  • the exchanges that follow: emails, calls, meetings and follow-up notes needed for the relationship;
  • data relating to membership and Experiences: billing information, the plan chosen, participation in Experiences and information needed to organise them;
  • the bank details required for payment by transfer (account holder’s name and bank details shown on the transfer). No online payment is offered on the site;
  • browsing data (pages viewed, date and time, device type, IP address) only if audience measurement is enabled and you accept it.

We do not ask you for any sensitive data. If organising an Experience requires specific information that you provide voluntarily (for example a dietary restriction or allergy), it is used only for that Experience, on the basis of your consent, and deleted afterwards.

03 Why, and on what legal basis

  • Managing the waiting list, applications and memberships, and providing the Services: performance of the contract and pre-contractual steps;
  • Managing the relationship with members (follow-up, complaints, satisfaction): legitimate interest;
  • Organising Experiences and events: performance of the contract;
  • Processing payments and meeting our accounting and legal obligations: legal obligation;
  • Measuring the site’s audience to improve it, where applicable: your consent;
  • Ensuring the security of the site and limiting automated submissions (form anti-spam): legitimate interest.

The fields marked as required in our forms are necessary to process your request; without them, we cannot act on it.

04 Marketing communications

We neither sell nor rent your data. The communications we send you (circle news, invitations) are sent as part of the relationship or with your consent, and you can ask to no longer be contacted at any time by simply emailing us.

05 Who has access to your data

Your data is processed by Satkāra Society and is never transferred to third parties for commercial purposes. It may be hosted or processed by our technical service providers, who are bound by confidentiality:

  • site hosting and email: IONOS, servers located within the European Union;
  • the form management tool (waiting list and applications) and the email-sending tool;
  • the cookie consent solution: Complianz;
  • fonts: Google Fonts, requested when pages are displayed; Google receives your IP address on that occasion.

As membership fees and Experiences are paid by bank transfer, no online payment provider is involved. No fully automated decision-making or advertising profiling is carried out. Any transfer of data outside the European Union would be governed by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

06 Retention periods

  • waiting list and applications with no follow-up: 3 years from the last exchange;
  • data relating to a membership: for the duration of the membership, then 5 years for evidential purposes;
  • accounting records and payment data: 10 years, in accordance with the French Commercial Code;
  • cookies: 13 months maximum for any audience measurement; your cookie choice is kept before you are asked again.

07 Cookies

The site sets cookies that are strictly necessary for it to function and, only with your consent, any audience-measurement cookies. Details are provided in our cookie policy (see dedicated document).

08 Security

The site is served over HTTPS, access to its administration is restricted and protected, and regular backups are made. We implement reasonable, up-to-date measures to preserve the confidentiality and integrity of your data.

09 Your rights

You have a right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and objection, a right to data portability, the right to withdraw your consent at any time, and the right to set instructions regarding the fate of your data after your death. To exercise them, write to us at hello@satkarasociety.com. Proof of identity may be requested in case of doubt. We respond within one month, which may be extended if the request is complex.

10 Complaint

If our response does not satisfy you, you may refer the matter to the French data protection authority (CNIL): CNIL, 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, France, or online at cnil.fr.
