Privacy
This privacy policy (this “Policy”) describes how and when Commune Yoga Online,
Inc., a Washington corporation (“Commune Yoga Online,” “we,” or “us”), uses and
shares your information when you use our Website at www.communeyoga.com or
www.communeyoga.online www.communeyogastudio.com (the “Website”), as well as all related software, tools,
systems, series and other services provided by us (collectively, together with the
Website, our “Service”). This Policy also describes our use and disclosure of that
information. By using our Service, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure
of personal information in accordance with this Policy. This Policy is incorporated by
reference into the Commune Yoga Online Terms of Service http://
www.communeyoga.com or www.communeyoga.online/terms and subject to the
provisions of the Terms of Service.
Personal Information
“Personal Information,” as used in this Policy, is information that specifically identifies
an individual end user of the Service, such as an individual's name, address,
telephone number, or e-mail address. Personal Information also includes information
about an individual’s activities, such as information about his or her activity on our
Service, and demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, geographic
area, and preferences, when any of this information is linked to Personal Information
that identifies that individual.
Personal Information does not include “aggregate” or other non-personally
identifiable information. Aggregate information is information that we collect about a
group or category of products, services, or users that is not personally identifiable or
from which individual identities are removed. We may use and disclose aggregate
information, and other non-personally identifiable information, for various purposes.
Collection of Information
Collection of Voluntarily-Provided Information
We collect Personal Information that our users provide to us in a variety of ways on
our Service, including:
E-mail Newsletters. We may offer e-mail newsletters with
announcements and information about Commune Yoga Online from time to time on
our Service. If you sign up to receive a newsletter from us, we collect your e-mail
address. You may opt out of receiving e-mail newsletters.
Downloads, User Accounts and Profiles. Our Service or third parties may
give you the ability to download Commune Yoga Online software, register for a
Commune Yoga Online account or to create and update a user profile on the Service.
If we offer such functionality on the Service, we will collect the Personal Information
that you provide to us in the course of using that functionality. This information may
include, for example, your name, contact information, and system information, as
well as information about your interests, preferences and future needs. We may
indicate that some personal information is required for you to download our
software, register for the account or to create the profile, while some is optional. To
the extent that your user profile is public, we will share your Personal Information in
your user profile with others in your organization.
Integrated Service.
You may be given the option to access or register for the Service through the use of your user name and passwords for certain services
provided by third parties (each an “Integrated Service”), such as through the use of
your Facebook credentials through Facebook Connect . By doing this, you authorize
us to access and store the credentials you provide, your name, email address(es),
date of birth, gender, current city, profile picture URL, and other information that the
Integrated Service makes available to us, and to use and disclose it in accordance
with this Policy. You should check your Facebook or other Integrated Service privacy
settings to understand and change the information sent to us through Facebook
Connect or other Integrated Service. Please review each Integrated Service’s terms
of use and privacy policies carefully before using their services and connecting to
our Service.
Interactive Features and Public Areas.
Our Service may contain interactive functionality that allows you to engage with other users on the Service,
post comments to forums, to upload photographs and other content (the “User
Content”), participate in surveys, and otherwise to interact with the Service and with
other users. If you use any interactive functionality on our Service that requests or
permits you to provide us with personal information (including, for example, any
services that allow you to post User Content on any of our Service), we collect the
Personal Information that you provide to us in the course of using these interactive
features. You should be aware that any information you provide in chat sessions,
message boards, email exchanges, newsgroups or similarly non-private areas of the
Service may be read, collected, and used by others who access these areas, and this
information is not Personal Information for the purposes of this Policy. To request
removal of your Personal Information from these areas, please contact us. In some
cases, we may not be able to remove your Personal Information, in which case we
will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.
Correspondence. If you contact us by e-mail, using a contact form on
the Service, or by mail, fax, or other means, we collect the Personal Information
contained within, and associated with, your correspondence. We use this Personal
Information to respond to your correspondence. We may also use your
correspondence to improve the Service.
Promotions. We or our advertisers and other business partners may
conduct or sponsor special contests, sweepstakes, and other promotions that users
may enter or otherwise participate in on our Service. Certain of these promotions
may be co-branded with one of our advertisers or other business partners. In these
instances, the collection of your Personal Information may occur directly by the thirdparty
partner on its website or other online service and may be shared with us. The
promotion will state the privacy policy or policies governing the collection of such
personal information.
Passive Information Collection
When you visit our Service, some information is collected automatically. For
example, when you access our Service, we automatically collect certain information,
which may include your browser’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type,
the nature of the device from which you are visiting the Service (e.g., a personal
computer or a mobile device), the identifier for any handheld or mobile device that
you may be using, the Web site that you visited immediately prior to accessing any
Web-based Service, the actions you take on our Service, and the content, features,
and activities that you access and participate in on our Service. We also may collect
information regarding your interaction with e-mail messages, such as whether you
opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message.
We may collect this information passively using technologies such as standard
server logs, cookies, and clear GIFs (also known as “Web beacons”). We use
passively-collected information to administer, operate, and improve the Website and
our other services and systems, to improve the effectiveness of advertising on our
Service, and to provide advertisements and other content that is tailored to you. If we
link or associate any information gathered through passive means with Personal
Information, or if applicable laws require us to treat any information gathered
through passive means as Personal Information, we treat the combined information
as Personal Information under this Policy. Otherwise, we use and disclose
information collected by passive means in aggregate form or otherwise in a nonpersonally
identifiable form.
Also, please be aware that third parties, such as companies displaying
advertisements on the Service, or sites or services provided by third parties (“Third-
Party Sites”) that may be linked to or from the Service, may set cookies on your hard
drive or use other means of passively collecting information about your use of their
services, Third-Party Sites or content. We do not have access to, or control over,
these third-party means of passive data collection.
Information from Other Sources
We may receive information about you, including Personal Information, from third
parties (e.g. opt-in lists where you have requested information about Commune Yoga
Online or the Service while visiting a Third-Party Site). We may combine this
information with other Personal Information we maintain about you. If we do so, this
Policy governs any combined information that we maintain in personally identifiable
format.
Use of Personal Information
We use Personal Information to provide the services and information that you
request. We also use your Personal Information to enhance, improve, operate,
analyze and maintain our Service and other systems (e.g., to troubleshoot problems);
to prevent fraudulent use of our Service and other systems; to prevent or take action
against activities that are, or may be, in violation of our Terms of Service or applicable
law; to tailor advertisements, content, and other aspects of your experience on and
in connection with the Service; to maintain a record of our dealings with you; for
other administrative purposes (e.g., contacting you regarding administrative
information or notices); to resolve disputes and enforce our agreements with you;
and for any other purposes that we may disclose to you at the point at which we
request your Personal Information, and pursuant to your consent. We may also use
Personal Information you provide to contact you regarding products, services, and
offers, both from ourselves and from third parties, that we believe you may find of
interest. We allow you to opt-out from receiving marketing communications from us
as described in the “Choice” section below.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Except as described in this Policy, we will not disclose your Personal Information that
we collect on the Service to third parties without your consent. We may disclose
your Personal Information to third parties if you consent to us doing so, as well as in
the following circumstances:
Service Providers
We may disclose Personal Information to third-party service providers (e.g., valueadded
resellers, payment processors, data storage and processing facility vendors)
that assist us in our work. We limit the Personal Information provided to these service
providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions,
and we require them to agree to maintain the confidentiality of such Personal
Information.
Public Areas
Some features on our Service may allow you to upload, post, or otherwise transmit
User Content to public areas of the Service, such as content that you post in a public
profile on the Service. Please be aware that any Personal Information that you
include within any User Content will be made available to other users of the Service.
You include Personal Information in User Content at your sole risk. We may allow you
to select privacy options that limit access to some types of Personal Information in
User Content, but no security measures are impenetrable or perfect. Additionally,
even after information posted on the Website is removed, caching and archiving
services may have saved that information, and other users or third parties may have
copied or stored the information available on the Service. We cannot warrant or
guarantee that any Personal Information that you provide on and in connection with
the Service will not be accessed, viewed, or used by unauthorized persons.
Business Transfers
Information about our users, including Personal Information, may be disclosed and
otherwise transferred to an acquirer, or successor or assignee as part of any merger,
acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, or similar transaction, as well as
in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which Personal
Information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.
To Protect our Interests
We also disclose Personal Information if we believe that doing so is legally required,
or is in our interest to protect our property or other legal rights (including, but not
limited to, enforcement of our agreements), or the rights or property of others, or
otherwise to help protect the safety or security of our Service and other users of the
Service.
Event and Conference Sponsors
We may share your Personal Information with third parties that sponsor Commune
Yoga Online events or conferences that you attend. Otherwise, Commune Yoga
Online does not offer or allow the sale of any of your Personal Information to third
parties.
Choice
If you receive commercial e-mail from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by
following the instructions contained within the e-mail. You may also opt-out from
receiving commercial e-mail from us, and any other promotional communications
that we may send to you from time to time (e.g., by postal mail) by sending your
request to us by e-mail at online@communeyoga.com or by writing to us at the
address given at the end of this policy. Additionally, we may allow you to view and
modify settings relating to the nature and frequency of promotional communications
that you receive from us.
Please be aware that if you opt-out of receiving commercial e-mail from us, it may
take up to ten business days for us to process your opt-out request, and you may
receive commercial e-mail from us during that period. Additionally, even after you
opt-out from receiving commercial messages from us, you will continue to receive
administrative messages from us regarding our Service.
Access
If we offer the ability to create user accounts or profiles on our Service, you may have
the ability to access and update many categories of Personal Information that you
provide to us by logging in to your account and accessing your account settings. If
you wish to access or amend any other Personal Information we hold about you, you
may contact us at online@communeyoga.com or by the other methods described
under “Contacting Us” below.
If you request that we delete your account on any of our Service (via a user settings
page, by e-mail, or otherwise), we will do so within a reasonable period of time, but
we may need to retain some of your Personal Information in order to satisfy our legal
obligations, or where we reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do
so.
Links
The Service may contain links to other Web sites, products, or services that we do
not own or operate. For example, the Service may contain links to Third-Party Sites
such as social networking services. If you choose to visit or use any Third-Party Sites
or products or services available on or through such Third-Party Sites, please be
aware that this Policy will not apply to your activities or any information you disclose
while using those Third-Party Sites or any products or services available on or
through such Third-Party Sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of
these Third-Party Sites or any products or services on or through them. Additionally,
please be aware that the Service may contain links to Web sites and services that we
operate but that are governed by different privacy policies. We encourage you to
carefully review the privacy policies applicable to any Web site or service you visit
other than the Service before providing any Personal Information on them. Children
Children’s safety is important to us, and we encourage parents and guardians to take
an active interest in the online activities of their children. Our Terms of Service
prohibit users of the Service who are under the age of 18. We do not knowingly
collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we
have collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13 on our Service,
we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we may
have collected any such Personal Information on our Service, please notify us
at online@communeyoga.com
International Visitors
Our servers and data centers are located in the United States. If you choose to use
the Service from outside the U.S., then you should know that you are transferring
your Personal Information outside of your region and into the U.S. for storage and
processing. By providing your Personal Information to us through your use of the
Service, you agree to that transfer, storage, and processing in the U.S. Also, we may
transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with
storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Service.
You should know that each region can have its own privacy and data security laws,
some of which may be less stringent as compared to those of your own region.
Security
We use reasonable security measures that are designed to protect personal
information from accidental loss, disclosure, misuse, and destruction. Please be
aware, however, that no data security measures can be guaranteed to be completely
effective. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
that you provide to us. You transmit information to us at your own risk. Always select
a password that is unlikely to be available or discovered by others, and never
disclose your password to any third parties. You are responsible for all Personal
Information submitted through your account or user profile and all actions taken
through your account and user profile. Therefore, if your password has been
compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password.
Updates to this Policy
We may occasionally update this Policy. When we do, we will also revise the “last
updated” date at the beginning of the Policy. Your continued use of our Service after
such changes will be subject to the then-current policy. If we change this Policy in a
manner that is materially less restrictive of our use or disclosure of your Personal
Information, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the change and to obtain
your consent prior to applying the change to any Personal Information that we
collected from you prior to the date the change becomes effective. We encourage
you to periodically review this Policy to stay informed about how we collect, use, and
disclose Personal Information.
