Philippine Eckankar Privacy Policy

The ECKANKAR Society of the Philippines has a firm commitment to your privacy. You can visit www.eckankarphilippines.org without telling us who you are or sharing any personal information. However, we do have some web pages where you have the option to input some personal information necessary to place an order for spiritual materials, or to contact us for further information.

The following questions and answers explain when and how personal information is collected and used, and the measures we have in place to keep the information private.

What personal information does Eckankar Philippines collect?
We do not collect your personal information unless it is necessary for providing items, services, or information to you at your request.


We collect the following kinds of information:

Non-personal information
We automatically collect anonymous usage information that does not identify an individual user (“Non-Personal Information”) to help us understand how users use the Eckankar in the Philippines Website. For example, each time you use the Eckankar in the Philippines Website we automatically collect the type of Web browser you use, your operating system, your Internet Service Provider, your IP address, the pages you view, and the time and duration of your visits to the website.

We do not record your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, or any other personally identifying information.

Personal information
ECKANKAR Society of the Philippines only collects personally identifying information, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, if you choose to provide that information to the ECKANKAR Society of the Philippines by:

  • requesting a free book to be mailed to you,
  • preregistering for a seminar,
  • signing up to receive e-mail from the ECKANKAR Society of the Philippines.

How do you protect my personal information?
Safeguarding the information you give us is a priority.

The information collected when you submit a web form to us is encrypted, downloaded, and removed from our web server. We do not store any personal information on our web server longer than it takes to download your request for processing by the Eckankar Society of the Philippines.

Does Eckankar Philippines share my personal information with others?

How can I tell when my transactions are secure?
Your browser will show you when you are making a secure transaction in two main ways. When you access a secure form at www.eckankarphilippines.org, “http” in the address bar in your browser will change to “https.” Somewhere in your browser window, you will also see a locked-padlock icon. These indicators tell you that all information entered on that page will be encrypted when you submit the form (e.g., by clicking "Submit," or "Send," or "Enter").

Does the ECKANKAR Society of the Philippines sell or rent my information?
Absolutely not. All information collected will be used only by the ECKANKAR Society of the Philippines and authorized Eckankar church affiliates with your permission.

Will I receive unsolicited e-mail from Eckankar Philippines?
