We use trusted third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers unless explicitly stated; payment processors handle card data in a PCI-compliant manner. Please review the privacy policies of payment processors for details.

We may also use third-party service providers for hosting, email delivery, analytics, scheduling, and teleconferencing (Zoom, Calendly, Mailchimp, etc.). These providers process data on our behalf under contract.

We may share personal data:

• With service providers who perform services for us (payment processors, hosting, email).
   
• To comply with law or respond to lawful requests (court order, subpoena).
   
• To protect rights — to enforce terms of use, prevent fraud, protect safety.

We do not sell personal data.

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect data (encryption in transit, secured servers, access controls). However, no internet-based system is 100% secure. If you believe your information has been compromised, contact anna@awildchildofgod.com immediately.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
   
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
   
• Delete your personal data (subject to legal retention obligations).
   
• Export or port your data to another provider.
   
• Object or restrict processing (including for marketing).
   
• Opt-out of sale (if applicable in your state).
   
• Withdraw consent at any time for processing based on consent (e.g., marketing).
   

To exercise these rights, contact: anna@awildchildofgod.com. Please allow up to 30 days for a response; we may need additional information to verify your identity.

For California residents (CCPA/CPRA): You may have specific rights regarding disclosure, deletion, and opting out of the sale of personal information. Contact the email above and specify “California Privacy Request.”

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described: to provide services, comply with legal obligations (tax records, contracts), resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Typical retention periods: transactional records — 7 years (for tax), coaching records — up to [INSERT PERIOD, e.g., 3–7 years], marketing data — until you unsubscribe.\

Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 (or higher age where required). If you are a parent who believes your child under the applicable age provided us data, contact anna@awildchildofgod.com to request deletion.

If you are outside the country where we operate, your data may be transferred to and stored on servers in the United States (or other countries). We will protect such transfers using appropriate safeguards required by law (standard contractual clauses, etc.) where applicable.

Because we provide faith-based coaching and people may share health or spiritual details, please be mindful that:

• Do not send emergency or life-threatening information through routine email or chat. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or crisis hotlines immediately.
   
• We are not a replacement for medical or psychiatric care. Coaching complements — but does not replace — licensed medical/mental-health treatment. If you share medical details, we will treat them as sensitive and confidential but may need to disclose when legally required.
   

We may update this policy occasionally. We’ll post the updated policy with a new “Last updated” date. Significant changes will be communicated via email or prominent notice.
