If you believe we may have collected data from or about a child under 13, please contact us at: privacy@evolutionaryjourneys.org

This information is:

• Collected only with your consent

This data is used in aggregated, non-identifiable form to improve the Website and optimize user experience.

 

3. Use of Cookies and Pixels

We use cookies and similar technologies (including Meta pixels and Google Analytics) to analyze visitor behavior, remember preferences, and enhance your experience.

You may disable cookies in your browser settings. However, some features of the Website may not function properly as a result.

We may also use social media pixels (e.g., Meta) to serve relevant content or ads based on your interaction with our Website, in compliance with those platforms’ policies.

7. Data Storage and Security

We use industry-standard security protocols to safeguard your data, including encryption and limited access.

Sensitive data (such as health or spiritual background information) is treated as confidential and accessible only to authorized staff or facilitators. It is deleted after its intended purpose is fulfilled unless legally required to be retained.

Please note that while we take all reasonable precautions, no online system is completely secure. You acknowledge that information shared online is at your own risk.
