PRIVACY POLICY Last Updated: July 13, 2026 Light of Dawn Yoga respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Light of Dawn Yoga (referred to as “Light of Dawn Yoga,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit www.lightofdawnyoga.com, subscribe to our communications, purchase or access a virtual yoga course or digital product, participate in a membership, or otherwise communicate with us. These activities are collectively referred to as the “Services.” By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not form a contract and does not limit any rights available to you under applicable law. Who We Are Light of Dawn Yoga is an independently operated yoga and wellness business based in Alabama, United States. Website: www.lightofdawnyoga.com Email: [email protected] For purposes of applicable data protection law, Light of Dawn Yoga is the controller of personal information collected directly through the Services, except where a third-party provider acts as an independent controller under its own privacy notice. Personal Information We Collect The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with the Services. We may collect the following categories of information: Contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, and billing address. Purchase and transaction information, such as the course, membership, digital product, or service purchased; the amount and date of the transaction; payment status; and related customer-service records. Account information, if account access is offered, such as a username, password, membership status, course access, and preferences. Communications you send to us, including questions, feedback, requests, testimonials, survey responses, and information you voluntarily provide by email or through another communication channel. Marketing preferences, including whether you have subscribed to our email list and whether you have unsubscribed from promotional messages. Technical and usage information that may be collected automatically by our website platform or service providers, such as your Internet Protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location derived from an IP address, referring pages, pages viewed, dates and times of access, and information about how you interact with the website or emails. We ask that you not send sensitive medical or health information through ordinary email or other unsecured channels. Light of Dawn Yoga does not intend to create or maintain medical records through the website. How We Collect Personal Information We may collect personal information directly from you when you subscribe to our email list, purchase an offering, create or use an account, communicate with us, participate in a course or membership, or otherwise provide information voluntarily. We may also receive limited information from service providers that help us operate the Services. For example, Stripe may provide transaction confirmation and customer information related to a payment, Mailchimp may provide subscription and email-engagement information, and our website platform or hosting provider may provide technical or usage information. Some technical information may be collected automatically through cookies or similar technologies as described below. How We Use Personal Information We may use personal information to: Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the website, courses, memberships, digital products, and other Services. Process purchases, confirm payments, provide receipts, and deliver access to purchased content. Administer customer accounts, course access, memberships, and related benefits. Respond to questions, requests, feedback, and customer-service matters. Send administrative or transactional communications relating to a purchase, account, membership, schedule, security matter, or change to the Services. Send newsletters, educational content, promotions, and other marketing communications when you have subscribed or when otherwise permitted by law. Understand how visitors and customers use the Services and improve the content and user experience. Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, misuse, security incidents, unauthorized account access, and other harmful activity. Maintain business, tax, accounting, and legal records. Comply with legal obligations, enforce our agreements, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. We do not sell personal information for money. We do not knowingly use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you. Legal Bases for Processing Personal Information If the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction requiring a legal basis applies to our processing, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases: Contract. We process information when necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract with you, such as processing a purchase and providing access to a course or membership. Consent. We may rely on your consent for activities such as sending certain marketing communications or using non-essential cookies where consent is legally required. You may withdraw consent at any time, although withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal. Legitimate interests. We may process information when necessary for our legitimate interests or those of another party, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. These interests may include operating and improving the Services, providing customer support, securing the website, preventing fraud, and maintaining business records. Legal obligations. We may process information when necessary to comply with tax, accounting, consumer-protection, court, regulatory, or other legal requirements. Protection of vital interests. In limited circumstances, we may process information when necessary to protect an individual’s life or physical safety. Email Communications and Mailchimp We use Mailchimp to manage email subscriptions and send newsletters or promotional communications. When you subscribe, information such as your name, email address, subscription status, and interaction with emails may be stored and processed by Mailchimp on our behalf or under Mailchimp’s applicable terms. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link in an email. You may also contact [email protected]. Unsubscribing from marketing messages does not prevent us from sending necessary transactional or service-related communications concerning a purchase, account, or active membership. Please review Mailchimp’s privacy notice for information about its own privacy practices. Payments and Stripe We use Stripe to process online payments. When you follow a Stripe payment link or complete a purchase, payment information is submitted directly to Stripe. Stripe may collect information such as your name, email address, billing address, payment method information, device information, and transaction details. Light of Dawn Yoga does not receive or store your complete credit or debit card number. We may receive limited information from Stripe, such as your name, email address, billing details, transaction amount, product or service purchased, and payment status. We use this information to complete the transaction, provide access, maintain records, prevent fraud, and respond to customer-service matters. Stripe may act as our service provider for some processing and as an independent controller for other processing. Stripe’s handling of personal information is governed by its own privacy notice and terms. Website Platform and Hosting Our website is hosted and supported through Impact. Impact or related infrastructure providers may process technical information, account information, and other data necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the website and its functionality. The precise information collected by the website platform may depend on the features enabled now or in the future. We will update this Privacy Policy if our website practices materially change. Cookies and Similar Technologies Cookies are small files or similar technologies placed on or accessed from your device. The website platform and service providers may use cookies that are necessary for the website to function, maintain security, remember preferences, support account or checkout features, or understand basic website performance. We are not currently representing that Light of Dawn Yoga uses advertising pixels or a separate analytics service. If we add advertising, behavioral analytics, or other non-essential tracking technologies, we will update this Privacy Policy and implement any consent choices required by applicable law. You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect the availability or operation of certain website features. Visitors in jurisdictions that require consent before non-essential cookies are used should be provided with an appropriate consent mechanism if such cookies are enabled. The absence of a cookie banner does not itself establish that no cookies are used, because essential cookies may still be used by the website platform. How We Disclose Personal Information We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances: Service providers. We may provide information to vendors that help us host or operate the website, manage email communications, process payments, provide course or membership technology, store data, maintain security, deliver customer support, or perform professional services such as accounting. At your direction or with your consent. We may disclose information when you ask us to do so, authorize an integration, or otherwise consent. Legal and safety purposes. We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; enforce agreements; investigate suspected fraud or misuse; protect the rights, property, or safety of Light of Dawn Yoga or others; or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Business transactions. If Light of Dawn Yoga is involved in a reorganization, sale, merger, financing, transfer of assets, or similar transaction, personal information may be disclosed as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law. We do not authorize service providers to use personal information for purposes unrelated to the services they provide to us, except as permitted under their own role as an independent controller or as required by law. International Data Transfers Light of Dawn Yoga is based in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country. When required by applicable law, we and our service providers rely on recognized safeguards for international transfers, which may include adequacy decisions, participation in an approved data-transfer framework, standard contractual clauses, contractual protections, or another lawful transfer mechanism. You may contact us for additional information about the safeguards relevant to personal information we control. Data Retention We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Services, maintain course or membership access, communicate with you, maintain business and transaction records, comply with tax and legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected. For example, transaction records may be retained for accounting and tax requirements, while marketing information may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to a limited suppression record used to honor your request. When information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to technical limitations and legal requirements. Data Security We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no internet transmission, website, email system, or electronic storage method is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for notifying us promptly if you believe an account has been accessed without authorization. Please do not send payment-card numbers, passwords, detailed medical information, or other highly sensitive information through ordinary email. Your Privacy Rights Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have some or all of the following rights: The right to know whether we process your personal information and to request access to it. The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information. The right to request deletion of personal information. The right to request restriction of certain processing. The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or to object to direct marketing. The right to withdraw consent when processing is based on consent. The right to receive certain personal information in a portable format and, where technically feasible and legally required, request its transfer to another controller. The right to opt out of certain sales, sharing, profiling, or targeted advertising if those activities occur and applicable law provides that right. The right not to receive unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising a privacy right. The right to lodge a complaint with an applicable data protection authority. To submit a privacy request, email [email protected] and describe the request. We may need to verify your identity before completing it. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and identity verification. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. Some rights are not absolute, and we may deny or limit a request when permitted or required by law. Where applicable, we will explain the basis for the decision and any available appeal process. Additional Information for European and United Kingdom Residents If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Light of Dawn Yoga is generally the controller of personal information collected directly through the Services. You may exercise the rights described above, including access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent. You also have the right to complain to the data protection authority in the country where you live, work, or believe a violation occurred. Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may request information about those interests and object to the processing. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time. Because Light of Dawn Yoga is located outside Europe, European personal information may be transferred to the United States as described in the International Data Transfers section. Depending on the nature and scale of future European activities, additional requirements—such as appointing a representative in the European Union or United Kingdom—may apply. We will review these requirements as the business and its international activities develop. United States State Privacy Disclosures Residents of certain U.S. states may have privacy rights similar to those described above. Whether a particular state law applies can depend on factors such as where you live, the type and volume of information processed, and the size of the business. Light of Dawn Yoga does not currently state that it sells personal information or shares personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide legally required opt-out methods. Children’s Privacy The Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. Individuals under 18 should use or purchase the Services only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact [email protected] so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information. Third-Party Websites and Services The Services may link to or integrate with websites, payment pages, video platforms, social-media services, or other services operated by third parties. We do not control the privacy or security practices of independent third parties. Information you provide directly to a third party is governed by that party’s privacy notice and terms. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you use. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” settings or other privacy signals. Because there is not a universally applied standard for all such signals, the website may not respond to every Do Not Track setting. If applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signal for a processing activity we conduct, we will take reasonable steps to honor that signal. Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the Services, our practices, technology, service providers, or legal requirements. The updated policy will be posted on the website with a revised “Last Updated” date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before a material change takes effect. Contact Us If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our handling of personal information, contact: Light of Dawn Yoga Email: [email protected] Website: www.lightofdawnyoga.com Because Light of Dawn Yoga is operated as a small independent business, privacy requests are currently handled through the email address above. Important Legal Notice This Privacy Policy is intended to describe Light of Dawn Yoga’s current practices in clear language. It is not a certification of compliance with every law in every jurisdiction and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney. The policy should be reviewed whenever new website features, analytics, advertising tools, course platforms, membership systems, contact forms, or service providers are added.
