scope

This Privacy Statement covers any kind of processing where we, Good Karma Consultancy, are acting as a data controller or co-controller (which includes collection, use, transfer, storage and deletion) of personally identifiable information (any information that may be used to identify a physical person, and any other associated information) about natural persons. This statement applies to our processing of data collected through any means, actively as well as passively, from persons located anywhere in the world.

We are guided by the following principles when processing data:
