Thank you for choosing to be a part of my community!

What type of information my Website collects from users;
How my Website collects information from users;
Why my Website collects information from users and how my Website uses such information;
How user information is stored;
Your rights as a user in relation to your information; and

In addition, this policy may be periodically updated; the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy will be revised accordingly (please see Changes to My Privacy Policy).

Information Collection: What, How, and Why
What information does my Website collect?
In general, you can visit my Website without disclosing any personal information at all.
My Website only collects the following personal information that you voluntarily submit:
a) The email address of users who sign up for my mailing list;
b) The first and last names and email addresses of users with general inquiries who fill out my Contact form;
c) The first and last name, email address, and telephone number of users who fill out my Booking form for performances and community events; and
d) The first and last name, email address, telephone number, physical address and/or billing address, and credit card information of users who book a consultation with me via the Embodied Voice & Yoga Booking.
Otherwise, my Website automatically collects anonymous, aggregated user information via Google Analytics and Squarespace Analytics. The data my Website collects when you visit may include the browser name, the type of computer, and technical information about your connection to my Website, such as the operating system and Internet service providers used, an anonymized Internet Protocol address, and other similar information (“Log Data”).
How is this information collected?
My Website collects the personal information that you directly provide to me via:
a) Signing up for my mailing list;
b) Filling out my Contact form, Booking form, Yoga Booking Calendar, and/or any additional forms pertaining to the services I offer through my Website (e.g., an intake form asking about your vocal use experience); and
c) Email correspondence with me.
Your personal information is directly submitted to and collected by either my Gmail account (for the Contact, Booking, and Yoga Booking submissions) or my Mailchimp account (for the mailing list and those who register for Vocal Massage tutorials).
For Log Data collection, my Website uses Google Analytics and Squarespace Analytics’ “cookies” and similar technologies during your interactions with my Website.
A “cookie” is a small text file that is placed on your device to store information when you interact with a website.
Why is this personal information collected, and how is it used?
All personal information that you provide is collected to, in turn, fulfill your requests for the following services:
a) Advertising. To appropriately add you to my mailing list, through which I send emails regarding my music, events, classes, mentoring, and coaching;
b) Communicating. To facilitate my receipt of your general and event-specific inquiries via email;
c) Scheduling. To facilitate your booking of a consultation with me via Acuity; and
d) Servicing You. To fulfill any other purpose for which you may provide your personal information.
Correspondingly, and in compliance with the GDPR, your personal information is used for the following reasons:
a) Your personal information is used to add you to my mailing list in order to perform a service that you have consented to and requested of me, as well as to satisfy my legitimate business interest of promoting my activity to my community;
b) Your personal information is used to facilitate inquiry emails and consultation booking via Acuity in order to perform a contract with you or take steps—with your consent and at your request—before entering into a contract;
c) Your personal information is used to fulfill any other purpose for which you may provide your personal information in a manner that you have consented to and/or requested of me; and
d) Your personal information is used to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and to carry out any of my obligations and enforce any of my rights arising from any contracts that you may enter into me, such as my Terms and Conditions and Service Agreement.
Likewise, Google Analytics and Squarespace Analytics collect, monitor, and analyze Log Data solely for the legitimate business interest of content performance analysis, which can inform how I may better service you through my Website.
To be clear, I will always treat your information with the utmost care and respect. I will not sell any of your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes.
Information Storage
All information that my Website collects is stored and processed by Google, Mailchimp, and Squarespace.
Although no service is completely secure, Google, Mailchimp, and Squarespace each avow that they maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data; will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to achieve their respective California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA)- and GDPR-permitted purposes, such as legal compliance; and are GDPR-compliant.
I have also taken measures to ensure that the Log Data that my Website collects does not include any of your personal information.
However, to attain a better understanding of how your personal information is collected, stored, and cared for, please review:
1) Google Analytics’ Terms of Service, and Google’s General Privacy Policy;
2) Squarespace’s Privacy Policy.
