Privacy Policy
How Animah Institute collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our site or buy a session.
1. Who we are
Animah Institute (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates animahinstitute.com and sells digital mindset audio sessions. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
Contact: hello@animahinstitute.com
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Email address — when you join our newsletter, contact us, or complete checkout (Stripe may collect your email for receipts)
- Messages — content you send via contact forms or email
Information collected automatically
- Device and usage data — such as browser type, pages visited, and approximate location derived from IP address, collected in standard server logs
- Cookies and similar technologies — we use minimal cookies necessary for site function (for example, shopping cart data stored in your browser’s local storage). We do not currently use advertising cookies
Payment information
Purchases are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full credit or debit card number. Stripe collects payment details according to its own privacy policy: stripe.com/privacy.
3. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- Process orders and deliver digital products
- Send transactional emails (receipts, download links, support replies)
- Operate our newsletter, if you subscribe
- Respond to inquiries and provide customer support
- Maintain site security and prevent fraud or abuse
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)
If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process personal data based on: (a) performance of a contract (fulfilling your purchase); (b) legitimate interests (site security, improving our services); and (c) consent (newsletter signup, where applicable).
5. Sharing with service providers
We share information only with trusted providers who help us operate the business, such as:
- Stripe — payment processing
- Email / newsletter providers — if and when we connect a service such as ConvertKit or MailerLite for the mailing list
- Hosting providers — where our website and files are stored
These providers may process data on our behalf under contractual obligations to protect it. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
6. Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above — for example, order records for accounting and support, newsletter data until you unsubscribe, and server logs for a limited period for security.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you
- Opt out of marketing emails (use the unsubscribe link or email us)
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Request portability of data you provided
California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what we collect and to request deletion, subject to exceptions. We do not sell personal information as defined by California law.
To exercise your rights, email hello@animahinstitute.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
9. Children
Our site and products are intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. International visitors
If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the U.S. or other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your country.
