In Short: We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We only share and disclose your information in the following situations:

  • Compliance with Laws. We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).

We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
  • Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include payment processing (Stripe and PayPal), email marketing (ConvertKit / Kit), data analysis, email delivery and notifications, hosting services, customer service, and marketing efforts. We may allow selected third parties to use tracking technology on the Sites, which will enable them to collect data about how you interact with the Sites over time.

Unless described in this Policy, we do not share, sell, rent, or trade any of your information with third parties for their promotional purposes.
  • Public Teacher Directory. If you choose to appear in our public teacher directory, the profile information you have marked as publicly visible will be accessible to visitors of the Sites, including those who are not registered members. You control which fields are publicly displayed through your profile settings.
  • Other Members through Contact Forms. When you choose to enable the contact form on your public profile, other members and visitors may send you messages. The sender will see your displayed name and profile information, but not your email address.

4. PUBLIC PROFILE, DIRECTORY, AND COMMUNICATION FEATURES

In Short: Inclusion in our public teacher directory is optional. You control which information is shown publicly and which communication features are enabled. You may change these settings at any time.

Our Sites include a public teacher directory and communication features designed to help members of the Kundalini Yoga community find and connect with one another. The following describes how these features handle your personal information and the controls available to you.

4.1. Public Teacher Directory

You appear in our public teacher directory only if you choose to complete the minimum required profile information and enable directory visibility. If you do not wish to appear publicly, you may keep your profile hidden through the option “Public Profile (show my profile in the public directory)” in your profile settings.

Even when your profile is public, you have granular control over which specific fields are shown. Through the “Show on my public profile” section of your profile editor, you may individually enable or disable the display of: your profile photo, the contact form, your social and web links, your phone number, and your WhatsApp button. You may change these settings at any time.

4.2. Member-to-Member Contact Form

The Sites provide a contact form that allows IKYTA members to send messages to one another. When another member sends you a message through this form, the message is stored on the Sites and a notification is sent to your registered email address informing you of the new message. You can then log in to the Sites to read and respond to the message. The recipient never receives your email address through this feature.

4.3. Visitor-to-Teacher Contact Form

Visitors browsing the public teacher directory — including those who are not registered members — may contact you through a contact form on your public profile, provided you have enabled this feature. Messages sent through this form are stored on the Sites and forwarded as a notification to your registered email address. Your email address is never disclosed to the visitor.

You may disable the visitor contact form at any time by unchecking “Contact Form (email stays hidden)” in your profile settings.

4.4. Storage and Retention of Messages

Messages sent and received through the contact forms are stored on our Sites to allow you to review your communication history. You may request the deletion of messages associated with your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Messages may also be deleted when your account is terminated, subject to any retention requirements imposed by applicable law.

4.5. Responsibility for Communications

IKYTA reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that misuse these communication features, as further described in our Terms of Service and in the ‘Immediate suspension or termination for cause’ provision of this Privacy Policy.

5. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

In Short: Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you reside.

IKYTA is based in the United States, and we use service providers located in various countries around the world. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries other than the country in which you reside, including the United States. The data protection laws in these countries may differ from those in your country of residence.

Where required by applicable law (including the GDPR, UK GDPR, LGPD, and similar regulations), we implement appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or rely on adequacy decisions where applicable. You may request a copy of these safeguards by contacting us at [email protected].

6. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy.

7. WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES?

In Short: We are not responsible for the safety of any information that you share with third-party providers who advertise but are not affiliated with our websites.

The Sites may contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, online services, or mobile applications. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this privacy policy. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the Sites. You should review the policies of such third parties and contact them directly to respond to your questions.

8. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law. Inactive accounts may be deleted after 6 months of inactivity, with prior notice.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require us keeping your personal information for longer than 1 year past the termination of the user’s account.

Inactive account deletion

IKYTA reserves the right to delete user accounts that have remained inactive for a period of 6 (six) months or more. An account is considered “inactive” when the user has not logged in, renewed their membership, or otherwise interacted with IKYTA’s services during the relevant period.

Before proceeding with the deletion of an inactive account, IKYTA will notify the user by email to the address associated with their account, providing at least 30 (thirty) days’ advance notice and the opportunity to keep the account active by contacting IKYTA before the deletion date.

Upon deletion of an inactive account, all personal information associated with the account will be deleted or anonymized, except for information that IKYTA is required to retain by law (including, without limitation, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, or auditing obligations).

Immediate suspension or termination for cause

In addition to the inactive account procedure described above, IKYTA reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate user accounts, without prior notice, in cases including but not limited to: (a) violation of our Terms of Service or this Privacy Policy; (b) fraudulent activity or misrepresentation; (c) use of false or unauthorized credentials, including misrepresentation of KRI certification status; (d) abuse of the communication features, including sending spam, harassing, or inappropriate messages to other members; (e) conduct that endangers or harms other users or the IKYTA community; (f) requirements from competent legal or regulatory authorities; or (g) any other circumstance that IKYTA, in its sole discretion, determines necessary to protect its interests, its users, or the integrity of the Sites.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

9. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Sites is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.

10. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Sites, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Sites. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at [email protected].
