Information We Collect

At CornerStoneGarden, we gather information that helps us deliver better meditation and philosophy education services. When you enroll in our courses or workshops, we collect basic details such as your name, email address, and contact information. We also collect information about your learning preferences and progress through our meditation programs.

We don’t collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary for our educational services. Your meditation practice details and personal reflections shared in courses remain confidential and are used solely to enhance your learning experience.

How We Use Your Information

Your information serves specific purposes related to our meditation and philosophy education platform. We use your details to process course enrollments, send important updates about your programs, and offer personalized learning recommendations based on your interests and progress.

Communications from us typically include course materials, schedule changes, and educational content that supports your meditation journey. We may also dispatch newsletters with philosophical insights and meditation techniques, though you can unsubscribe from these at any time.

Data Protection and Security

We implement comprehensive security measures to safeguard your personal information. Our systems use encryption technology to protect data transmission, and we operate secure servers with ongoing security updates and monitoring.

While we maintain strong security practices, no online system is entirely immune to threats. We continuously monitor and improve our security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

Your Rights and Choices

You have several rights regarding your personal information under United Kingdom data protection laws and our privacy commitments. You can access, update, or request deletion of your data at any time by contacting our support team.

If you want to review what information we hold about you, we will provide a comprehensive report within 30 days of your request. You can also ask us to correct any inaccurate information or delete your account entirely if you no longer wish to use our services.

Data Retention and International Transfers

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide our meditation education services. After account closure, we may keep certain information for legal compliance purposes for up to seven years, as required by United Kingdom regulations.

Some of our service providers, particularly those handling payment processing and email communications, may be located outside United Kingdom. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy rights according to United Kingdom data protection standards.
