Your Data We Collect

As a Visitor, you can browse our Website to find out more about our company and offerings. You are not required to provide us with any personal information as a Visitor.

We collect your personal information when you register with us (“User”), when you make a purchase, donation, register for a class, request information, request to be included on our email distribution list, text/SMS contact list, or otherwise contact us.

Generally, you control the amount and type of information you provide to us when using our Website. The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interaction with us and the Website, the choices you make and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect can include the following:

  • Name, Email Address, Phone Number, and Contact Data
  • Payment Information. If you choose to make a purchase or donation, we collect payment information through our payment processor. All payment information is securely stored by our payment processor and we do not have access to your sensitive information, such as credit card number or security code.

When, Where, and How We Keep Your Data

Your information, including personal information, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your local jurisdiction.
We will take all reasonably necessary steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and no transfer of your personal information will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Why & When We May Disclose Your Data

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. We do not sell or share your information to third parties for marketing purposes.

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court order, subpoena, or by a government/law enforcement agency).
