SAT GUR PRASAAD YOGA
PRIVACY POLICY
In effect from January 27th, 2024
We take the safety and security of your information very seriously.
SGP Yoga will never share your personal information with any 3rd parties. Any information we collect will solely be used by us to tailor the SGP Yoga platform to you and improve the quality of service we provide.
This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for the Website. The term "Website" refers collectively to two main components of our online presence:
Public Website: The publicly accessible part of our Website, viewable by all visitors. This includes informational pages, promotional content, and any other material accessible at https://www.sgpyoga.co/ and any of its subdomains and folders without the need for registration or subscription.
Member Area: The restricted, user-specific part of our Website, accessible only to registered and subscribing members. This part shares the same URL as the public website, but it gives access to unique features upon logging-in by subscribing members. The Member Area offers personalized content, course materials, student groups, and other exclusive resources for our members and those with temporary access to specific services.
This Privacy Policy applies to the entire Website, encompassing both the Public Website and the Member Area. Where specific terms or conditions apply uniquely to either the Public Website or the Member Area, such distinctions will be clearly stated.
This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by SGP Yoga or its Affiliates on the Website and will notify you of the following:
1. What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the Website, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.
2. What choices are available to you regarding the use of your information.
3. The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.
4. How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
This Privacy Policy describes SGP Yoga’s and/or its Affiliates’ agreement with you regarding how we will handle certain information on the Website. This Policy does not address information obtained from other sources such as submissions by mail, phone or other devices or from personal contact. By using or accessing the Website and/or providing information on the Website, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of certain information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Information Collected on Our Website
If you merely download material or browse through the Website, our servers may automatically collect certain information from you which may include: (a) the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; (b) the browser software you use and your operating system; (c) the Internet address of the website from which you linked to the Website; (d) the type of device you used to access the Website; and (e) whether you have accessed the Website via a web browser or one of our mobile apps. We also reserve ourselves the right to monitor your usage of the Website - through our own or third party tools - in order to evaluate user experience, and thus improve the quality of our services. The information we automatically collect may be used to improve the Website or Affiliates’ websites to make them as useful as possible for our visitors; however, such information will not be tied to the personal information you choose to provide to us.
We also collect personal information necessary to provide you with access to our Service. This includes your authentication data such as email, password, name and phone number; and payment data such as debit/credit card numbers and billing address. You can find more details about the security measures we take to protect your sensitive data below in the “Security” section.
We do collect and keep personal information when you choose to voluntarily submit such information. For example, if you choose to fill out a form on the Website we retain the information submitted by you. You should not submit any information that you do not want to be retained. After we have taken the appropriate action in response to your submission, we retain the information you submit for our records and to contact you from time to time. Please note that if we decide to change the manner in which we use or retain personal information, we may update this Privacy Policy at our sole discretion.
Notice to Children Under the Age of 16 and Their Parents or Legal Guardians
We at SGP Yoga care about the safety and privacy of minors online. We urge children under the age of 16 to involve their parents or legal guardians in their online activities.
For Children Under 16: Please engage with our Website only under the supervision of your parents or legal guardians. If you would like to contact us or access any of our resources, please do so through an adult’s assistance.
For Parents and Legal Guardians: SGP Yoga does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under the age of 16, please contact us so we can take appropriate action, including removing such information from our records.
Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties
We restrict access to non-public personal information submitted by you on the Website to those employees and other third parties who need to know the information in order for us to provide certain services to you. SGP Yoga or its Affiliates do not sell or rent the personal information you choose to provide to us to any third party. Also, we will not disclose the personal information you provide to us to any third party without your consent, except (a) as required by law; (b) to our independent contractor(s) who host, maintain or service the Website, and (c) to service providers and Affiliates where the disclosure will enable that party to perform business, professional or technical support.
Receiving Promotional Materials
We may send you information or materials such as newsletters by e-mail or postal mail when you submit addresses via the Website. If you do not want to receive promotional information or material, please send an email with your name, mailing address and email address to team@sgpyoga.co with the subject line “End Marketing Communications”. Alternatively, you may “Unsubscribe” using the relevant link from any medium of communication (Email, Messaging, etc.) When we receive your request, we may take reasonable steps to remove your name from such lists. Please note that this does not apply to business-critical emails; if you are an SGP Yoga subscriber you will still receive invoices or payment notifications, even after having unsubscribed from our promotional mailing list.
Your Access to and Control Over Information
You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time by contacting us. To do so, please send an email with your name, mailing address and email address to team@sgpyoga.co with the subject line “End Communications”. Alternatively, you may “Unsubscribe” using the relevant link from any medium of communication (Email, Messaging, etc.). Again, you will still receive business- or account-critical emails if you are a paying subscriber.
You can do the following by contacting us via the email address above or phone number given on the Website: (a) see what data we have about you, if any; (b) change/correct any data we have about you (c) have us delete any data we have about you (d) express any concern you have about our use of your data.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a website can place on your computer's hard drive for record-keeping or other administrative purposes. The Website may use cookies to help to personalize your experience on the Website. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Although most web browsers accept cookies automatically, usually you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you decide to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully use the features of the Website. Cookies may also be used at certain sites accessible through links on the Website.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your sensitive personal information. When you submit sensitive personal information via the Website or an Affiliate’s website, we take reasonable steps to protect such information. If we collect sensitive personal information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page. In addition, we do not collect sensitive data within our own servers but through 3rd party vendors. Your authentication information is securely stored, and your credit card information is solely routed to our PCI Level 3 compliant payment provider - Stripe Inc. No payment information touches SGP Yoga’s internal servers at any point in time.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also make reasonable efforts to protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. We take reasonable efforts to require that any third party provider we contract stores personally identifiable information in a secure environment.
Links to Other Websites
SGP Yoga is not responsible for the practices or policies of the websites linked to or from the Website. If you elect to use a link that accesses another party’s website, you will be subject to that website’s practices and policies.
