We retain most tracking data for 24 months to identify long-term learning patterns and course effectiveness. However, essential login and security cookies may be stored longer to maintain account safety. Analytics data becomes anonymized after 12 months, while still providing valuable insights for curriculum development.
Managing Your Privacy Settings
You have complete control over your tracking preferences. Most web browsers allow detailed cookie management, though disabling certain types may affect your meditation learning experience. For example, turning off functional cookies means you'll need to reset your timer preferences and background sound choices each visit.
Account-Based Controls: Logged-in users can access detailed privacy settings through their dashboard, including options to download collected data, pause tracking for specific activities, or request complete data removal while maintaining account access.
Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
Brainlixa Pathen integrates with carefully selected third-party services to enhance your meditation learning experience. We want you to understand exactly which external services may receive your information and why these partnerships benefit your practice.
Video Hosting Platforms: Meditation session videos are hosted on secure content delivery networks to ensure smooth streaming across India's diverse internet infrastructure. These platforms may collect viewing statistics and technical performance data.
Audio Processing Services: Guided meditation recordings and ambient sound libraries utilize specialized audio platforms that may track playback quality, buffering issues, and device compatibility for optimization purposes.
Analytics Providers: We work with web analytics services that help us understand user behavior patterns, popular content, and technical issues. This data remains aggregated and anonymous, focusing on overall trends rather than individual users.
Payment Processing: Secure payment gateways handle subscription transactions and course purchases. These services maintain their own privacy policies and security standards, which we encourage you to review.
We never sell personal information to advertisers or marketing companies. Any data sharing occurs solely to improve your meditation learning experience or fulfill legal requirements. Third-party services are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for specified purposes.
