Your privacy matters deeply to us — this is a space where people share vulnerable things, and we take that seriously. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it, in plain language.

1What we collect

• Information you give us when you sign up: your name, email, and anything you choose to share about your situation.
• Basic usage information (like which sessions you attend) to run the community.
• Payment information, which is handled securely by our payment processor — we never see or store your full card details.

2How we use it

• To match you with groups and provide the services you signed up for.
• To send you session information, journal prompts, and community updates.
• To improve how the community works.

We do not sell your personal information to anyone. Ever.

3What we share

We only share your information with the trusted services that help us operate — for example, our email provider, community platform, and payment processor. They're bound to protect it. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect someone's safety.

4Your choices

• You can update or delete your account information anytime.
• You can unsubscribe from our emails using the link in any message.
• You can request a copy of your data or ask us to delete it by emailing us.

5Data security

We use reputable, secure third-party tools to store and protect your information. That said, no system is perfectly secure, so we ask you to share only what you're comfortable sharing.
