Terms & Conditions · Privacy Policy · Refunds & Course Policies

Waking Soul, Inc., d/b/a Soul of Yoga and Soul of Yoga Institute, operates this learning site. Thinkific provides our learning platform and checkout. This policy explains how we handle information from your account, purchases, coursework, and related live or recorded training.

What we collect

We collect contact and account details; purchases and payment-related records; course enrollment, progress, attendance, assignments, quiz results, and certificates; messages and discussion contributions; and photographs, audio, or video captured during training. Payment credentials are handled through payment providers.

Thinkific and connected tools may also collect IP addresses, device and browser details, approximate location, cookies, referral identifiers, and information about pages, clicks, and checkout activity. Information comes from you, your use of our services, instructors, and the providers and referral partners supporting our programs.

How we use and share information

We use information to deliver courses, process payments, manage enrollment and records, assess completion, communicate with you, improve our services, measure marketing, prevent misuse, and meet business and legal obligations.

Authorized staff, instructors, and service providers receive information needed for their work. These may include Thinkific, payment providers, Zoom, Keap, Google Workspace, Zapier, and our student-information and reporting systems. Shared posts are visible to their intended audience. We may also disclose information to professional advisers, when required by law, to protect our business or others, or in a business transfer.

Recordings and media

Our Terms & Conditions include permission to photograph and record participation and use that material worldwide for educational and promotional purposes. Uses include courses for current and future students, paid courses, presentations, social media, websites, and marketing materials. Recordings may be edited and reused after enrollment ends and may be publicly available.

Do not share private, sensitive, or confidential information in sessions or course content. Use hypothetical or fully de-identified examples rather than personal health histories or identifiable client cases.

Cookies, analytics, and marketing

Necessary cookies support accounts, payments, security, and course access. Our configured analytics, advertising, and referral tools include Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, ReferralRock, and EarlyParrot. When active, these tools may receive online identifiers, device or approximate-location data, page activity, and supported signup or purchase events. Referrers may learn that a referral or reward qualified.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some advertising and analytics disclosures may count as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under privacy law. You can restrict cookies through browser settings, although this may affect site functions and may not stop every disclosure. Choices on soulofyoga.com do not automatically apply to this Thinkific site. Policy acceptance is not consent to optional tracking where the law requires a separate choice.

Your privacy choices

To request access, correction, deletion, or an opt-out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, email [email protected] with the subject “Thinkific privacy request,” or call 760-943-7685. Depending on applicable law, you may also request a copy of your information, object to or restrict processing, limit certain sensitive-information uses, or withdraw consent. We handle requests and recognized opt-out signals as required by law, without unlawful discrimination. Verification may be needed for some requests; it is not required for an opt-out where prohibited.

Unsubscribe from promotional emails using their unsubscribe link. Essential account, course, and transaction messages may continue.

Retention, security, and other details

We retain information as needed for course delivery, authorized media use, enrollment and certificate records, accounting, security, and legal obligations. Retention depends on the information and purpose; restricted backup copies may remain until routine deletion. We use reasonable safeguards, but no online system is completely secure.

Providers may process information in the United States, Canada, or other countries. Where European or UK law applies, processing relies on contract, legal obligations, legitimate interests, or consent as appropriate, with required transfer safeguards. You may contact the relevant privacy regulator.

This site is not directed to children under 13. Contact us about a child’s information or a privacy concern. We may update this policy and will provide notice when required.
