3. Sharing and Disclosure

We place a very high regard for your privacy, and take care not to share your personal information with anyone. However, there are circumstances when your information will be shared with others:

  1. With Your Consent. There are certain forms on our site where we invite users to post questions or feedback. You understand that the information that you post via these forms may be republished on our Services, absent email address.
  2. Part of User Content. When you post or submit content to the interactive areas of our Services (“User Content” as defined in our Terms of Use), you grant us the license to use and reproduce the User Content in our Services, as set forth in our Terms of Use.

This includes what you share during the live webinars, your email interactions with us, and your course forum discussions. Your email address is never published.

  7. Information Shared with Third Party Users. You understand that when you share your personal information with third parties through our Services, this information can be seen, heard, collected, and used by other people besides us. For example, when you post on our website comment sections, other visitors can see your comments and information you provide. When you share in our live webinars, other course participants may read and hear what you share. Further to that, course interactions may be incorporated as content in future courses. Information shared on public pages such as our Website and social media pages may be indexed by search engines and saved by internet archival bots. We do not control such engines and bots, and they may use caches containing your information, including outdated information. We take care to provide a safe environment for you when using our Services but we cannot be held responsible for what third parties may do with this data and any third-party use and misuse of this information.

4. Information Storage

To provide you with our Services, we may collect, store, process, and transfer information in locations around the world, including outside your home country. Our service providers may be located inside or outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). In particular, our service providers are based in the United States, Europe, Israel, New Zealand, and Singapore. Our contractors may be located around the world. As such, the information provided to us is transferred to and stored in those countries.

Where we transfer, store, and process your personal information outside of the EEA, we have ensured that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure an adequate level of data protection, such as certification under an approved certification mechanism (like the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework) or compliance with an approved code of conduct approved by a supervisory authority.

5. Security

We have in place security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed without authorization. Some of these measures include protection against brute-force attacks, firewalls, and data encryption. We restrict access to personal information to trusted contractors who need this information to carry out their work with us, and they will only process your personal information based on our instructions.

However, no system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our website and databases. We cannot guarantee that any information sent to and from us will not be intercepted when transmitted over the internet. Sacred Circle Creative Life will not be held liable for any loss to you or any third party arising from any unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration of the information.

6. Your Choices

You may manage your information in various ways, including without limitation:

  • You may change your email registered in our email newsletter by clicking on the “update” link at the bottom of each newsletter.
  • You may opt out of our newsletter by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each newsletter. If you purchased our Premium Products or Live Courses, you may continue to receive transaction messages related to your purchase.
  • You may prevent tracking of your opens and clickthroughs of our newsletter mailings by opting not to load images in your email client.
  • If you purchased our products or services, you may update your purchase details by contacting us. You may update your account information by logging into the course portal.
  • You may use a false name when using our Services.
  • You may opt out of participating in the interactive areas of our Live Courses such as the text chat, audio sharing, and discussion forums.
  • You may cancel your account to our course portal. Note that you will not be able to access the course you purchased after you cancel the account.
  • You may disable cookies in your browser before using our Services.

Please note that doing some of the above actions will limit your experience of our Services. For example,

  • Opting out of our newsletter will prevent you from receiving our website updates, exclusive messages not posted on our website, and course offers.
  • Disabling image loading in your email client may cause your email subscription to be flagged out as inactive and scheduled for deletion without warning. It also prevents us from sending you more targeted mailings. It may cause you to receive duplicate mailings as certain newsletters may be re-sent to subscribers who have not interacted with them yet.
  • Disabling cookies may cause our Services not to function optimally, such as having to repeatedly log in to access our course content or repeatedly seeing content only meant appear once, such as certain popups or alerts.
  • Not interacting with our Services such as not posting comments and not engaging with other participants in our live courses will limit the value you may get from such Services.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

When deciding what the correct time is to keep the data for we look at its amount, nature and sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the processing purposes, if these can be achieved by other means and legal requirements. For example, for tax purposes, the law requires us to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they stop being customers. For 1-1 Coaching, we erase coaching discussion logs two years after the last session with the client, and retain basic information as a record of the coaching relationship.

8. EU Residents: GDPR

If you reside in the EU, you may request for a record of the personal information we hold about you. There may be a charge for each record request (not more than £10). We may request proof of identification to confirm your identity and additional information to process the request. We will provide you with a copy of the personal information we hold about you not more than one month after receiving a valid request. We can refuse to comply with an access request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

If you no longer want us to use your personal information, you can request that we erase your personal information with us. We will act upon the request within one month of receipt of a valid request. In certain cases, it may take us longer than a month if the request is complex and there may be a fee involved, in which case we will notify you. We can refuse to comply with an erasure request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Please note that if you have purchased any access to our Services, you will lose all access upon erasure. Additionally, please note that in some cases, we may retain data for limited periods for legitimate business or legal reasons. For example:

  • We may keep some of your information for accounting compliance.
  • We may keep some of your information for fraud prevention. For example, if we have terminated a user’s access to our Services for fraud, we may retain information about him/her to prevent access in the future.
  • Information that you have shared with others (e.g. blog comments, during webinars) may continue to be visible through our Website and courses, even after your data is removed. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed.
  • Our Services use backup systems to prevent unexpected data loss. Residual copies of your personal information may remain on such systems for a limited period of time.
  • We may anonymize your personal data for legal, record, or business purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Please note that removal or modification of any information from our Services does not constitute its removal from the internet, as other websites and search engines may have copied the content. We are not responsible for information held by these third party websites and search engines and you need to contact these third party websites and search engines for the removal of your data from their services.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Services may include links to third-party websites or services, such as third-party plugins, third-party applications, or co-branded services. An example is embedded videos from YouTube. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites or services and they have their own rules about the collection, use, and disclosure of information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of other websites you visit.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is effective as of the date specified at the top of this page. We may make changes to our Privacy Policy from time to time, and in our sole discretion. By accessing or using our Services after we make any such changes to this policy, you are regarded to have accepted such changes.
