Website forms and enquiries
This section describes how information is handled on the Brahma Kumaris public websites — including About, Initiative (Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan and other campaigns), Contact, and Services. It supplements the policy above and reflects our current technical practices.
What we collect through forms
When you submit a form, we collect only the fields you choose to provide — typically your name, email address, and any optional message or context you share. Some forms may also ask for a city or district (to note your nearest centre) or a phone number if you choose to share one.
We collect this information only when you submit it voluntarily.
Contact and general enquiries
The Contact website offers forms for general enquiries, spiritual questions, centre visits, programmes, volunteering and related intents. Submissions are sent securely to the appropriate Brahma Kumaris team by email. We use your details solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.
NMBA — Get Involved
On the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (NMBA) website, the Get Involved form collects your contact details and the nature of your interest (for example, arranging a programme, collaboration or seva). Submissions are routed to the NMBA coordination team. You must give explicit consent before sending.
NMBA — Spiritual counselling requests
The NMBA counselling page offers a form to raise a confidential request for spiritual guidance from Brahma Kumaris — support rooted in Rajyoga meditation and compassionate listening. This is not clinical or medical care. By submitting, you confirm that you understand this distinction and consent to your details being received confidentially by the counselling team.
- We do not guarantee a personal callback. For ongoing support, visitors are welcome at their nearest Brahma Kumaris meditation centre.
- The form is not monitored in real time and must not be used for emergencies.
- Phone numbers are optional; if provided, they are stored with your request but we do not use them to initiate outbound calls.
- Three explicit consent statements must be confirmed before a request is accepted.
NMBA — Take the Pledge dashboard
The public pledge statistics page displays aggregated counts only — such as totals by state, district or centre — sourced from anonymised campaign submission data. Individual pledge responses are not published on the website. The dashboard connection to our records database is read-only: the website cannot alter pledge data through this channel.
What we do not collect automatically
These public websites do not require you to create an account. We do not ask for payment card details through the enquiry forms described here. We do not use your form data for advertising profiles.
How long we keep information
Enquiry and counselling requests are retained only as long as needed to handle your request and maintain a brief internal record, after which they are archived or deleted according to our organisational practices. Aggregated pledge statistics contain no personally identifiable information.
Your choices
- You may choose not to submit a form — browsing our websites does not require personal information.
- You may request correction or deletion of information you have submitted by writing to [email protected], quoting your reference number if you have one.
- You may withdraw consent for future contact by emailing the same address.
Questions
For questions about how your information is handled, please contact [email protected].
