Privacy policy.

Awaken Yoga takes the issue of security and privacy seriously. We respect our visitor’s right to both their privacy and security of their data. To that end, we collect and use information throughout our website only as disclosed below.  

Personally Identifiable Information:
Awaken Yoga collects personally identifiable information from you only with your knowledge and consent. 

Awaken Yoga uses the services of Stripe for order processing and online payments. Please visit their website at www.stripe.com to acquire information about their Privacy Policies. 

When you make a purchase through Stripe, they ask for your name, address, phone number, email address and other personal information necessary to fulfill and track your order. For purposes of billing, you will need to provide your credit card type, number, expiration date and billing address for the card. 

Awaken Yoga also collects your name and email address if you sign up for our email newsletter. We will never share your information and will only use it to communicate our offerings and information/inspiration about practice.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information:
We collect non-personally identifiable information from you in order for us to better understand how our website is used. Information about a user's visit is logged, however your IP address is never referenced to personally identifiable information. Usage statistics are gathered in a non-intrusive manner. The log files are private documents and are primarily used by the server administrator for error notification, server administration and to monitor website performance. Occasionally, portions of the log files may be viewed by others for the purpose of server administration, security or when required by law. 

Cookies:
When you visit Awaken Yoga, small text files known as "cookies" may be stored on your computer's hard drive. We customize certain Web page content based on your browser-type or other information provided by our cookie. Awaken Yoga does not use cookies to retrieve personal information about you from your computer. If you reject the cookie, you will still be able to browse our site; however, you may not be able to use the shopping cart on our site to purchase and register for events. This is because cookies are required by the shopping cart to retain the necessary information to process your order. 

Is information shared with third parties?
We do not rent, sell or exchange your name or other personally-identifiable information to third-party companies for any purposes. Under no circumstances will your personal information be disclosed to any third party unless we seek your express consent or are required to do so by law. 

Awaken Yoga Mailing List:
When you sign up to our email mailing list, we will use your email address to send you an email newsletter.

Each newsletter will contain simple instructions on how to unsubscribe (opt-out) from the newsletter list. Each newsletter will also contain a link that will allow you to log in to the email system and change the current data so that you are always in control of the information you provide. 

We are staunch supporters of the Canadian Federal Privacy Legislation. We never exchange, lend or sell our email mailing list to anyone! Information submitted to us is only available to employees managing this information for purposes of sending you emails and to contracted service providers for purposes of providing services relating to our communications with you. 

Email statistics are monitored in order to ensure that the mailings are relevant for you. We will never share, sell, or rent this information to anyone. This information is only used for our own internal purposes. 

Linking to other websites
Awaken Yoga sometimes provides links to other organizations' websites. Unless we expressly say otherwise, a link to another website does not mean that we are responsible for, or that we endorse the content or policy of that website. When you provide information at one of those sites, you are subject to that site's privacy policy. We encourage you to read that website's policy before submitting any information if you have concerns about how information may be collected or used.

Accordingly, Awaken Yoga reserves the right to change this privacy statement at any time by posting the revised policy on this site. Information will be handled according to the privacy statement in effect at the time the information is used. If we make any significant change to this policy, we will provide notice of the change on this website.
