1. Information We Collect
We believe in minimal data collection. We only collect personal information when you voluntarily provide it, as well as limited non-personally identifiable usage data through automated tools.
A. Information You Provide via Contact Forms

B. Third-Party Scheduling and Appointments (Acuity Scheduling)
Online class, workshop, and consultation bookings are processed using Acuity Scheduling (an Squarespace company). Any personal, booking, or payment information provided during the scheduling process is collected directly by and processed through Acuity Scheduling—it is not stored or collected directly on or through our website servers. We encourage you to review Acuity Scheduling’s Privacy Policy for details on how they handle your data.

This data helps us analyze website traffic, optimize site performance, and improve our content. Information collected via Google Analytics may include:
- Device and browser type
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring websites or search queries
Google Analytics does not gather personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address) through our Site. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our Site by visiting Google’s Privacy & Terms.

- Respond to your inquiries, messages, and contact form requests.

- Maintain the security and functional integrity of the Site.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Third-Party Links
Our Site may contain links to external websites, services, or resources (such as social media platforms or embedded third-party scheduling tools). We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or data protection policies of any third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect your information against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. However, no transmission of data over the internet or wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
