3. We do not sell your information

We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not rent it. We use it only as described in this policy and your Participant Agreement.

We do use advertising and analytics tools from Meta and Google. These tools use cookies and similar technologies to measure our advertising and to show our ads to you on other sites. Under California law, this can count as “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out as described in Section 7.

4. Who we share information with

We share information only with service providers that help us run the Conference, and only as needed for that purpose. These include:

• Payment processing: Stripe and PayPal
• Email and marketing: Dao Practice Hub
• Event delivery and community: Zoom, Dao Practice Hub, and Obvio
• Website hosting: Dao Practice Hub
• Analytics and advertising: Google Analytics (Google, Inc.) and Meta (Facebook and Instagram)

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to enforce our agreements, or to protect the rights and safety of others. If we sell or transfer our business, your information may transfer to the new owner under the same terms.

Recordings that include your Impressions may be seen by other people when we use them in seminars, programs, and marketing, as stated in the Participant Agreement.

5. Cookies and tracking

When you visit our websites and the platforms we use to deliver the Conference, basic information is collected through your web browser using tracking technologies such as cookies. A cookie is a small text file downloaded onto your computer or mobile device. It lets us recognize your device and store information about your preferences or past actions. You can learn more about cookies and tracking technologies on the FTC website.

We allow third-party vendors to use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity over time. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how you use our websites and improve your experience. To learn how Google uses this data, or how to opt out of Google Analytics, visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

We also use Meta tools, such as the Meta Pixel, which collect information about your activity on our websites and may link it to your Facebook or Instagram account. We use this to measure results and show you our ads. You can manage this through your Meta ad preferences.

The information collected through cookies and similar means includes:

• the domain name and IP address from which you accessed our websites
• the type of browser and operating system you use
• the date, time, and length of your visit
• the specific pages visited, graphics viewed, and documents downloaded
• the links to other sites you accessed from our websites
• the links from other sites you used to reach our websites

We use this information to compile general reports about popular pages and how visitors reach our websites, to administer and improve our websites, and to make your activities more convenient, such as by remembering certain information to save you time.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work. Our websites do not respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals.

6. How long we keep information

We keep purchase and agreement records for as long as needed for business, tax, and legal purposes. Recordings and Impressions are kept in perpetuity, as stated in the Participant Agreement. Marketing contact details are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.

7. Your choices and rights

• Unsubscribe: use the link in any marketing email, or contact us.
• Access, correction, or deletion: you may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. We will honor requests as required by law. Deletion does not apply to recordings and Impressions you have already authorized us to use, or to records we must keep by law.
• California residents: you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion or correction, and to be free from discrimination for using these rights. You may opt out of the sharing of your information for advertising by emailing admin@daoist.mba with the subject “Opt Out,” by adjusting your Meta ad preferences, and by using Google’s ad settings. We do not sell personal information for money.

To make a request, email admin@daoist.mba. We may need to verify your identity first. We will respond within 45 days.
