1. Who We Are
Sacred Wellness is a Private Membership Association (PMA) and a §501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. We operate a members-only community offering holistic wellness education, coaching, and support services.

- Apply for membership (name, email, phone, address, neighborhood)
- Book a session (service preferences, scheduling notes)
- Submit a contact form (name, email, message)
- Create or update your member profile (health context, emergency contact)
- Make a voluntary donation (processed securely by Stripe)
We do not collect data automatically for advertising or tracking purposes. We do not use third-party analytics, ad networks, or behavioral tracking tools.
3. How We Use Your Information

4. Health Information
Any health context you share with us (via your member profile or session notes) is strictly confidential. This information is visible only to authorized Sacred Wellness practitioners and administrators. It is never shared with third parties, sold, or used for any purpose other than providing you with appropriate member support.
5. Payment Information
All payment processing is handled by Stripe, a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor. Sacred Wellness never stores your full credit card number, CVV, or banking credentials. When you make a donation, Stripe processes and encrypts your payment data directly. You can review Stripe's privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

7. Data Retention
We retain your membership information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you cancel your membership, you may request deletion of your personal data by contacting us at Dr.Z@COFSW.org. Some information may be retained for legal and financial record-keeping purposes.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information (via your member profile)
- Request deletion of your account and personal data
- Opt out of non-transactional communications at any time
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at Dr.Z@COFSW.org.
9. Security
We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and secure data storage. However, no system is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong password and protect your login credentials.
