The Light House: A Reiki Studio
Effective Date: October, 20th 2025

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit this website (the “Site”). By using this Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide — such as your name, email address, or other contact details — when you fill out a form, subscribe to a newsletter, make a purchase, or contact us.
We also automatically collect certain non-personal information through cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve our services.

2. How We Use Your Information
We may use collected information to:
• Respond to your inquiries or provide customer support
• Send updates, offers, or newsletters (if you’ve opted in)
• Process transactions or provide requested services
• Improve the functionality and security of our Site
• Comply with legal obligations

We never sell or rent your personal information.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using your personal information depends on the context:
• Consent – when you have given clear consent for us to process your information (for example, signing up for a newsletter).
• Contract – when processing is necessary to perform a contract with you (for example, completing a purchase).
• Legal Obligation – when processing is required to comply with applicable law.
• Legitimate Interest – when processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, and your rights do not override those interests.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This Site uses cookies and similar technologies to operate effectively, remember preferences, and analyze traffic. When you first visit the Site, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or manage your preferences.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the Site may not function properly.

5. Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Data is stored using secure, third-party platforms such as Squarespace, which maintains its own privacy and security standards.
No online platform is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Third-Party Services
This Site may include links or integrations with third-party services (such as payment processors, social media platforms, or embedded content). These third parties have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their data practices.

7. Your Rights (GDPR & General)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent or object to certain uses of your data
• Request data portability

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the email below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

8. Data Retention
We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide our services or as required by law. When no longer needed, your data will be securely deleted.

9. Children’s Privacy
This Site is not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your region), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Site after any changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
