Privacy Policy

Who We Are

This is the Privacy Notice for amodamaa.com — our website protects your privacy and does not share your email address or other personal information we receive with any outside parties.

Our website uses industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This enables us to encrypt the personal and financial information you provide us when you order online. All information provided by you is secured and maintained confidentially.

We process payments through PayPal and Stripe. Your credit card information is not stored on our site, but the payment processors store this information in order to process your payment.

What Personal Data or Information Do We Collect?

The information you enter on our websites or send via email allows us to respond to your requests and communicate with you. Some information is collected whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use “cookies,” and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses any payment, registration, or account area of our website.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that are transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide personalized features such as a shopping basket and shipping information. While you can prevent your browser from accepting cookies, cookies enable you to take full advantage of some of our features. Name, address and other personal details are not stored within cookies; they are only for use in navigating our site features.

You will receive our newsletter if you sign up for weekly updates, if you sign up for the Community Membership, and/or if you register for an online or in-person event. We send our emails via Mailchimp. 

On sign up we collect your email address, your name, your current location, your current IP address and timestamp of signup.

We will continue to send you the newsletter until you unsubscribe. If you do unsubscribe, we will retain minimal personal data about you (name and email) within Mailchimp to manage our suppression list. The suppression list allows us to check we are not marketing to people who have opted-out or withdrawn consent.

Newsletter Subscribers

We limit access to your personal data to those volunteers and third-party processors (see below) who have a legitimate need to know and ensure that they are aware of their duty of confidentiality.

We do not sell or rent your personal data or information to any third party or share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes.  

We may pass information about you to other parties as required to provide requested services to you. For example, we will need to provide information to the venue where we host our retreats to manage your accommodation and/or dietary requirements.
