We do not use any of the above listed for marketing purposes.
For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Cookies
We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate online through the Site or Plugins used within the Site. We may also use a standard feature in browser software called “cookies”. This assists us in improving delivery of our web pages and prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you have entered preference information before.
Who we share your data with
Only specific information is shared and only with relevant parties associated with us (i.e. our assistants, assigned Insight Yoga Institute (IYI) mentors). An example of this would be assessment of and Insight Yoga Institute application for acceptance into the teacher training program.
Please know that when you voluntarily make your personal information available for viewing by others online (i.e. through social media pages, etc.) this information can be seen and collected/used by others besides us. We cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of such information.
We do not have any third-party advertising on the Site, but we do include links that provide access to products and services sold by third-parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. When you use these links, the privacy policy of that third-party site will be the governing policy.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Google Analytics
We also use Google services, including Google Analytics which uses cookies and other, similar technologies to collect information about Site use anonymously and reports website trends, without identifying individual visitors.
