Introduction

This Privacy Policy was last revised on July 30th, 2020. Any new provisions will take effect on August 10th, 2020.

What information do we collect?

We at JaiShree Yoga (“JSY”) care very much about your privacy when it comes to your information. Your empowerment is paramount to us. Still, we live in a world where to connect we must collect some information from you when you register on www.jaishreeyoga.com (the “Website”), place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, or even when you respond to a survey or fill out a form that helps us help you.

We know that the information you provide to use is important to you and must be protected. Therefore we have created this Privacy Policy to empower you with knowledge of how we collect, use and disclose information we receive from all users of the Website. JSY operates the Website.

Along with our Terms & Conditions , this Privacy Policy guides your use of this site. When you use www.jaishreeyoga.com or accept our Terms of Use (via checkbox, pop-up, clicking an email link, or opt-in confirming the same), you give you consent to be bound by our terms and this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

Our mission at JSY is to honor and know the inherent uniqueness of each individual soul to serve their fullest potential. Therefore, our Website is a tool by which we will learn certain information about you when you visit.

We celebrate individual autonomy and information rights. Therefore this Privacy Policy embodies our commitment to respect your right to consent to share your personal data. We will only collect and process your personal data when we have a lawful basis for doing so. A lawful basis may include but is not limited to you providing us consent by the means described above, a contractual obligation to collect or process data, and/or when processing your personal data is in alignment with a legitimate interest.
