Hope Yoga Library Privacy Policy

Our Commitment and Core Principles At Hope Yoga Library, the safety, autonomy, and privacy of our community are our highest priorities. We fundamentally believe that your personal information belongs to you alone. We operate on the unwavering principle that protecting our members' physical and digital safety supersedes external demands, prioritizing your privacy above any authority, institution, or third-party inquiry.

Information We Collect We intentionally minimize the data we gather to only what is strictly necessary to run the library and support our community.

• Account Information: Name, email address, and contact details provided voluntarily during registration.

• Usage Data: Standard, anonymized website analytics required to maintain basic site functionality and security.

• Transaction Details: Internal records of memberships, class bookings, or library borrowing history.

How We Use Your Information Your data is utilized solely for internal operations, including:

• Managing your membership and access to library resources.

• Communicating vital updates about schedules, events, or operational shifts.

• Improving our physical and digital spaces to better serve you.

Data Sharing and External Authorities We do not sell, rent, or voluntarily share your personal data with commercial entities, data brokers, or external agencies. Consistent with our core principles, we actively protect our community from unwarranted surveillance. In the event of demands from external authorities, our strict policy is to:

• Require a valid, legally binding court order before even acknowledging a request for data.

• Exhaust all available legal avenues to challenge, narrow, or quash unwarranted data requests.

• Provide immediate transparency and notify the affected community member of any attempt to access their information, unless we are legally bound by a gag order.

Data Security and Retention We implement robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access to your information. We retain your data only for as long as you maintain an active relationship with Hope Yoga Library. Upon the termination of your membership or at your direct request, your personal records are permanently purged from our systems.
