Your Privacy Matters

Your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how The Purification Temple (“TPT,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and protects information obtained through our website and associated services. It also explains your choices regarding the use of your personal information and how you may contact us.

By using this website, you consent to the practices described in this Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Use and governs all interaction with the TPT site and services.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you visit or interact with TPT, you may voluntarily provide:

• Contact Data: name, e-mail, postal address, and telephone number;

• Account Data: username, password, communication preferences;

• Payment Data: credit-card or other payment information processed through secure third-party gateways;

• Demographic Data: age, gender, country of residence (optional);

• Communications: messages, inquiries, or testimonials you send to us.

TPT does not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 13 without verified parental or guardian consent.

Automatically Collected Data

When you access the site, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

• IP address, browser type, operating system, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and clickstream data;

• Usage statistics such as pages visited and time spent on each page;

• Information gathered through cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies to improve site performance and fraud protection.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store preferences and enhance functionality. We use them to:

• Authenticate users and process video purchases;

• Monitor traffic and prevent unauthorized access or duplication of paid videos;

• Analyze aggregated site usage to improve user experience.

You may disable cookies in your browser settings, but some portions of the site may not function properly.

Third-party analytics or payment providers may also use their own cookies and tracking systems; their practices are governed by their respective privacy policies.

3. How We Use Your Information

TPT uses collected information to:

• Provide and manage access to paid video rituals and other services;

• Process payments and verify transactions;

• Communicate with you about orders, updates, or support;

• Improve our website, content, and customer experience;

• Send optional newsletters or promotional updates (you may unsubscribe at any time);

• Enforce our Terms of Use and protect against fraud or misuse;

• Comply with legal obligations and cooperate with lawful investigations.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to outside parties.

4. How We Share Information

TPT may share limited information only in the following cases:

• Service Providers: trusted partners who assist with hosting, payment processing, customer support, or analytics;

• Legal Requirements: when required by law, subpoena, or government request;

• Business Continuity: in the event of a merger, reorganization, or transfer of temple-owned assets, provided that the same privacy protections continue to apply.

All such parties are bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.

5. Your Choices and Rights

You may:

• Access or Correct Data: request a copy or correction of your personal information by contacting us.

• Withdraw Consent: opt out of marketing communications or newsletter e-mails at any time.

• Delete Account: request deletion of your account and associated data, subject to legal or accounting requirements.

Because spiritual-service records may include proof of purchase for tax or audit purposes, some transaction data may be retained securely for up to 7 years as permitted by law.

6. Data Security

We employ encryption (SSL), secure servers, and third-party payment processors compliant with international PCI-DSS standards. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

However, no digital system is completely secure. By using this site, you acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of internet communication and agree that TPT cannot guarantee absolute security against unauthorized access or data loss.

7. Retention of Information

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy—typically for the duration of your account or for statutory financial-recordkeeping periods—and then delete or anonymize it.

8. Links to External Sites

Our site may contain links to third-party websites (for example, payment processors or affiliated partners). These external sites operate independently, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to review their privacy statements.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in Japan, where Saijo Inari Temple operates. By using this site, you consent to such transfer and acknowledge that Japanese privacy laws may differ from those of your country.

10. Updates to This Policy

TPT may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Updates will appear on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
