Personal Information: We collect your name, email address, encrypted payment details, and any information voluntarily submitted through forms before coaching sessions or classes.

Automatically Collected Data: Squarespace, our website host, collects data such as browser type, device information, and IP address, which may be shared with us.

5. Data Storage & Security

Storage: Data is stored by third-party platforms (e.g., Squarespace, Acuity, etc.), primarily in U.S.-based servers.

Security Measures: Access to tools is password-protected and limited to approved employees and coaches.
