• To enhance your experience by tailoring content and advertisement by communicating information that you may find of interest.
• To maintain a record of your interaction with The Yoga Llama digital library as well as other administrative functions such as membership and payment cycles.

2. Passive Information

Information is passively collected from the subscriber.

• Passive information is collected using technology for example server logs, cookies and web beacons and we use this information to administer, operate and improve our digital offering.

3. Disclosure of personal information

We will not disclose your personal information to a third party without your prior consent, unless in the following circumstances:

Should a link be included in any of our correspondence or through our digital platform, you agree that by clicking this link to another website or social media site, the information you provide there will not be governed by this privacy policy and that The Yoga Llama is in no way responsible for the information you disclose.  We encourage you to review the applicable policies associated with each website or social media site where you provide personal information.

6. Security

Your security, the security of your information and the integrity of our digital platform is of utmost importance to us.  We use reasonable security measures to protect personal information from loss, destruction, disclosure or misuse, but no security measure is guaranteed to be completely fail proof.  To that end, we cannot warrant the ultimate security of your information and you provide the information entirely at your own risk.

Protect your profile and password to ensure that only you have access to your profile and to our digital platform and never disclose this to a third party.  Should your login access be compromised in any way, please notify us immediately by emailing janita@theyogallama.com.
