Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how your information is handled.

3. Information You Share During Healing Sessions

You may voluntarily share personal, emotional, spiritual, or health-related information with me in connection with a healing session or program.

You are never required to share information that you are not comfortable providing.

Information that you voluntarily share in connection with a healing session is used primarily to provide the service you have requested and to communicate with you about your appointment or participation.

I do not sell personal information or use information you share during a healing session for advertising purposes.

Because some information concerning health and wellbeing may be particularly sensitive, I take reasonable steps to protect such information and limit its use to appropriate business and service-related purposes.

Schedule and manage appointments

Protect my rights, property, and the safety of others

I will not use your personal information for purposes that are materially different from those described in this Privacy Policy without providing appropriate notice where required.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the communication or by contacting me at evdhilst@gmail.com.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily stop essential communications relating to a service you have booked or purchased.

6. Bookings and Payments

When you book or purchase a service through the Site, personal information may be processed through third-party website, booking, scheduling, payment, or other technology providers used to operate the Site and provide services.

This may include information such as your name, contact information, appointment information, and information necessary to process your payment.

Payment information may be processed directly by a third-party payment provider. I do not intend to retain complete payment card information myself when payment is handled by such a provider.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

7. Cookies and Website Analytics

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies are necessary for the Site to function properly, including security, session management, and core website functionality.

The Site may also use analytics and other non-essential technologies to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve the website and services.

Depending on the technologies currently enabled on the Site, this may include analytics services such as Google Analytics or analytics functionality provided through the website platform.

Wix explains that its websites use essential cookies for core functionality and that additional cookies may be placed by services such as Wix Bookings, third-party applications, or integrations.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies may be used only after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through the Site's cookie settings.

Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.

8. Website and Booking Analytics

The website platform may collect information about website visits, bookings, purchases, and interactions with services in order to operate the website and provide business analytics.

For example, Wix Bookings can record booking-related activity and provide analytics concerning appointments and services.

If third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics are enabled, they may collect additional information about website and booking activity in accordance with their own privacy policies.

9. How Information Is Shared

I do not sell your personal information.

I may share personal information with third-party service providers when reasonably necessary to operate my business and provide services to you. These may include providers involved in:

Website hosting and website functionality
Appointment scheduling and booking
Payment processing
Email and communications
Website analytics
Information technology and security
Other services necessary to operate the Site and provide requested services

These providers may have access to personal information only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide their services or perform functions on my behalf.

I may also disclose personal information when required by law, legal process, court order, or governmental authority, or when reasonably necessary to protect my rights, property, safety, or the safety of others.

10. Testimonials

If you voluntarily provide a testimonial and give permission for it to be published, I may publish your testimonial on the Site or in other marketing materials.

I will not intentionally publish your name, photograph, or other identifying information with a testimonial without appropriate permission.

11. Data Retention

I retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining appropriate business and financial records, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

The length of time information is retained may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, I will take reasonable steps to delete or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal and record keeping requirements.

12. Data Security

I take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

While I take reasonable precautions to protect your information, I cannot guarantee absolute security.

Request access to personal information I hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of certain information

Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any privacy rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.

14. Children's Privacy

My services and Site are intended for adults.

I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without legally required parental consent.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to me without appropriate consent, please contact me so that I can take appropriate steps.

15. Third-Party Websites

The Site may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

I am not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites.

When you follow a link to another website, I encourage you to review that website's privacy policy before providing personal information.

The Site may be accessed by people located outside the United States.

If you access the Site from another country, your information may be processed or stored in the United States or another country where my website or service providers operate.
