Your privacy matters to me. This section explains what information is collected when you visit this website or book a session, how it’s used, and how it’s protected.
Information Collected
At checkout, when you book a session or package, I (or my checkout system) collect:
- Your name and email address
- Billing information and payment details (processed securely, see below)
- The service or package you purchased
Through the contact form, I collect the name, email address, subject, and message you choose to provide.
During sessions, anything you personally share with me is treated as confidential (see Confidentiality, above), and is not stored as part of any marketing or client database beyond what’s needed to provide your service.
Automatically, this website may collect basic technical information (such as browser type, device type, and pages visited) through standard website cookies and analytics tools, to help the site function properly and to understand how it’s being used.
How Your Information Is Used
Your information is used to:
- Process your payment and confirm your booking
- Send you scheduling links, confirmations, reminders, and receipts
- Communicate with you about your session, package, or order
- Respond to questions or messages you send through the contact form
- Send occasional updates, offerings, or newsletters only if you’ve opted in to receive them
- Maintain financial and business records as required by law
Third-Party Services
To run this business, I rely on a small number of trusted third-party services, which process certain information on my behalf:
- A secure third-party payment processor (such as Stripe, PayPal, or Square) to process your payment. I do not store your full card details on my own servers.
- A scheduling platform to manage booking calendars and appointment confirmations.
- My website host and website platform (WordPress/Elementor and related plugins) to run gaozongyanglife.com.
- An email service provider, if you opt in to receive newsletters or updates.
Each of these providers has its own privacy practices governing the data they process. I only share the minimum information necessary for them to perform their function.
I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies & Analytics
This website may use cookies and similar technologies to support basic functionality (like remembering items in your cart) and to gather anonymous analytics about how the site is used. You can adjust your browser settings to limit or block cookies, though some site features may not work as intended if you do.
Data Retention
I retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide services to you, respond to inquiries, and meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations (typically up to 7 years for financial records). After that, information is deleted or anonymized where possible.
Your Rights
You may request to access, correct, or delete the personal information I hold about you by emailing me directly (see Contact, below). I will respond within a reasonable time, though some information may need to be retained where required by law (for example, financial records).
If you are located outside the United States (including the EU, UK, or elsewhere with data protection laws), please note that your information will be processed in the United States. By providing your information, you consent to this processing.
Data Security
I take reasonable measures to protect your personal information, including relying on reputable, secure third-party providers for payment and scheduling. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of this website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
Contact
For any questions about your order, your session, these Privacy Policy, please reach out to: gaozongyanglife@gmail.com
By booking a session or completing a purchase on this website, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Privacy Policy in full.
