We may collect information you provide directly when you purchase, create an account for, access, communicate with, or use The Yoga Teacher Companion.

This may include:

• your name
• email address
• account and login information
• subscription and transaction information
• communications you send to us
• information you voluntarily enter while using Companion features

We may also receive limited technical information associated with your use of the website or Companion, such as device, browser, usage, or similar technical information when made available through the services and technology used to operate the Companion.

Payments and subscription billing for The Yoga Teacher Companion may be processed through third-party payment processors, including Stripe.

Payment processors may collect and process information necessary to complete your transaction, such as payment card information, billing information, and transaction details.

OmBodies Yoga Studio and Boutique does not directly store complete payment card numbers when payment information is processed by a third-party payment processor.

Information processed by a payment provider is also subject to that provider’s privacy practices and terms.

Information may be used to:

• provide and operate The Yoga Teacher Companion
• create and maintain user access
• process and administer subscriptions
• provide requested features and functionality
• respond to questions or support requests
• maintain security and prevent misuse
• troubleshoot and improve the Companion
• comply with legal, accounting, or regulatory obligations
• enforce applicable Terms of Service and policies

We do not sell your personal information.

The Yoga Teacher Companion allows users to enter questions, descriptions, cues, sequences, observations, and other information for analysis or discussion.

Users are responsible for the information they choose to submit.

The Companion is designed as a professional education and critical-thinking tool for yoga teachers. It is not intended to serve as a repository for student records, medical records, or confidential client information.

Do not enter personally identifiable information about students or clients.

This includes information such as:

• full names
• email addresses
• phone numbers
• home addresses
• dates of birth
• photographs or identifying images
• medical records
• diagnoses tied to an identifiable person
• other information that could reasonably identify a particular student or client

When discussing a teaching situation, users should describe only the information necessary to explore the teaching question and should keep students anonymous.

Please also review our Responsible Use & Student Privacy guidelines for additional expectations regarding use of the Companion.

The Yoga Teacher Companion uses artificial intelligence technology to provide its interactive features.

Information submitted through Companion tools may be processed by technology and service providers necessary to generate responses and operate the service.

Because information entered into an AI-powered system may be processed by third-party technology providers, users should not submit confidential, highly sensitive, or personally identifiable student or client information.

The Companion should be used as a professional thinking and educational tool—not as a system for storing confidential student information.

We may use third-party service providers to help operate The Yoga Teacher Companion and related services.

These providers may perform functions such as:

• website and application hosting
• application infrastructure
• artificial intelligence processing
• payment and subscription processing
• authentication and account management
• email communications
• analytics or technical performance monitoring
• security and fraud prevention

These providers may process information as necessary to perform services on our behalf and may maintain their own privacy policies governing their services.

We do not authorize service providers to use personal information on our behalf for purposes unrelated to providing or supporting the services for which they are engaged, except as otherwise permitted or required by law.

The website or technologies used to operate The Yoga Teacher Companion may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for functions such as account access, security, preferences, performance, or analytics.

The specific technologies used may change as the Companion and its supporting services evolve.

Where required by applicable law, users will be provided appropriate choices regarding non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

We may share information when reasonably necessary:

• with service providers supporting operation of the Companion
• to process payments and subscriptions
• to protect the security or integrity of the service
• to investigate fraud, misuse, or violations of our policies
• to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests
• to protect the rights, property, or safety of OmBodies Yoga Studio and Boutique, our users, or others
• in connection with a business transfer, merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, administer accounts and subscriptions, satisfy legitimate business and recordkeeping needs, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the systems or service providers involved.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the service to help protect information.

However, no internet-based service, transmission method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for protecting their account credentials and should notify us if they believe their account has been accessed without authorization.

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide rights regarding your personal information.

These may include rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, or other rights provided by applicable law.

To submit a privacy-related request, contact us using the information provided below.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Some information may need to be retained when required by law or for legitimate purposes such as transaction records, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or enforcement of agreements.

We may send transactional or service-related communications necessary to operate your account or subscription.

If you separately choose to receive marketing communications, you may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe option provided in those messages.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily prevent delivery of transactional or service-related messages associated with an active account or subscription.

The Yoga Teacher Companion is a professional tool intended for yoga teachers and other adult users.

It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the Companion.

If we learn that personal information from a child has been collected inappropriately, we will take reasonable steps to address it.

The Yoga Teacher Companion or its associated website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of independent third-party websites or services. Users should review the applicable privacy policies before providing information to those services.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to The Yoga Teacher Companion, our business practices, technology, service providers, or applicable legal requirements.

When material changes are made, the updated policy will be posted with a revised effective date.

Continued use of the Companion following an update is subject to the then-current Privacy Policy.
