Who we are
Welcome to The Art of Senses (theartofsenses.com).
We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights concerning your data.
Disclaimer
The Art of Senses is a platform for sharing resources, personal insights, and information for self-improvement and well-being. The content provided is for educational purposes only and should not be seen as a substitute for professional healthcare advice. We do not offer medical or psychological services, nor are we licensed health professionals. Users should consult qualified professionals for medical concerns or mental health support.
Affiliate and Collaboration Disclaimer: Our site may feature guest posts and resources from external facilitators. While we work with trusted partners, we are not liable for third-party content or advice.
Information Collection
We collect personal data only when necessary. Information collected may include:
Contact information (e.g., email address) if you sign up for newsletters, events, or courses. Usage data, such as browsing activity and interactions, collected via cookies.
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Sharing of Personal Data
We may share limited data with trusted partners and facilitators only for content collaboration and resource sharing. All collaborators are required to maintain the same level of data protection.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Use of Personal Data
Personal data is used solely for:
Analyzing website performance to improve services. Communicating updates, new blog posts, or upcoming workshops. Enhancing user experience and customizing content.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
