1. Information We Collect
We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, account information, event registration details, volunteer interests, coaching or program intake responses, and messages submitted through forms.
We may also collect limited technical information automatically, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, referring links, approximate location based on IP address, and cookie or analytics data.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information to provide programs and services, process registrations and purchases, respond to questions, send requested updates, manage memberships or accounts, coordinate volunteers, improve the website, protect against fraud or misuse, and comply with legal obligations.
3. Event Registrations and Program Forms
When you register for an event, workshop, healing circle, coaching service, webinar, or community program, we may collect information needed to manage attendance, communicate changes, provide accessibility support, and maintain appropriate safety records.
Please do not submit highly sensitive medical, financial, or legal information unless a form specifically requests it and explains why it is needed.
4. Newsletter and Communications
When you subscribe, we may send news, event announcements, program information, podcast updates, and other Rooted & Rising communications. You may unsubscribe using the link included in an email or by contacting us.
5. Store, Donations, and Payment Security
Purchases and donations may be processed by third-party providers such as Stripe or another payment platform. Those providers receive payment information directly and apply their own privacy and security practices. Rooted & Rising generally receives transaction details, such as your name, contact information, amount paid, and status, but not your complete card number.
6. Cookies and Analytics
We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website functioning, remember preferences, measure website activity, improve content, and understand how visitors use the site. You can adjust cookie permissions through your browser, although some features may not work as intended.
7. How We Share Information
We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate the website, host data, process payments, send email, schedule appointments, manage events, provide video meetings, or analyze website performance. We may also share information when required by law, to protect safety or rights, or as part of an organizational restructuring.
We do not sell personal information or provide it to unrelated parties for their independent direct marketing.
8. Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information. No online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including recordkeeping, program administration, dispute resolution, and legal compliance.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our youth programs may involve children and teens, but the public website is not designed to collect personal information directly from children under 13 without permission from a parent or legal guardian. Parents or guardians should complete registrations and consent forms for minors.
Contact us if you believe a child submitted personal information without appropriate consent so we can review and, where appropriate, remove it.
10. Your Choices and Rights
You may ask to review, correct, or delete personal information we maintain about you, subject to legal, safety, contractual, or recordkeeping limitations. You may also opt out of promotional email communications.
11. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may link to outside services, social networks, payment providers, scheduling platforms, podcast platforms, or community resources. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and Rooted & Rising is not responsible for their content or practices.
12. Policy Updates
We may update this policy as our services, technology, or legal obligations change. The revised date will appear at the top of this page.
