Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. It is Spiritualculture.org's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so — for example, to provide our services, to communicate with you, or to make our services better.

We collect information in three ways: if and when you provide information to us, automatically through operating our services, and from outside sources. Here are the specifics:

Information You Provide to Us

It's probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us directly. Here are some examples:

• Basic account information: We ask for basic information from you in order to set up your account. For example, we require individuals who sign up for a Spiritualculture.org account to provide a username and email address.
• Public profile information: If you have an account with us, we collect the information that you provide for your public profile.
• Content information: Depending on the services you use, you may also provide us with information about you in draft and published content (such as for your website or your comments).

Information We Collect Automatically

We also collect some information automatically:

• Log information: Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the IP address, browser type, unique device identifiers, and the date and time of access.
• Usage information: We collect information about your usage of our services. For example, we collect information about the actions that users perform on a site using our services — in other words, who did what, when, and to what thing on a site (e.g., [Spiritualculture.org username] deleted “[title of post]” at [time/date]).
• Location information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our services from certain geographic regions.

2. How We Use Information

We use information about you as mentioned above and for the purposes listed below:

• To provide our services — for example, to set up and maintain your account, host your website, backup and restore your data, provide customer service, etc.
• To further develop our services — for example, by adding new features that we think our users will enjoy or will help them to create and manage their content more efficiently.
• To monitor and analyze trends and better understand how users interact with our services, which helps us improve our services and make them easier to use.

3. Sharing Information

We do not sell our users' private personal information. We share information about you in the limited circumstances spelled out below and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy:

• Third-party vendors: We may share information about you with third-party vendors who need to know information about you in order to provide their services to us.
• Legal requests: We may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
• Business transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the event that Spiritualculture.org goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party.

4. Security

While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so, such as monitoring our services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.

5. Your Choices

You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:

• Limit the information you provide: If you have an account with us, you can choose not to provide the optional account information, profile information, and transaction and billing information. Please keep in mind that if you do not provide this information, certain features of our services may not be accessible.
• Opt-out of electronic communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us. Just follow the instructions in those messages. If you opt out of promotional messages, we may still send you other messages, like those about your account and legal notices.
• Set your browser to reject cookies: At this time, Spiritualculture.org does not respond to “do not track” signals across all of our services. However, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using Spiritualculture.org’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Spiritualculture.org’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

6. Your Rights

If you are located in certain parts of the world, including California and countries that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, like the right to request access to or deletion of your data.
