Privacy Policy

Your privacy and personal information security are fundamental to our commitment to your wellness journey.

Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register for our wellness programs, complete assessment forms, participate in our activities, or communicate with our team. This information helps us create personalized wellness experiences that honor your individual needs and preferences.

Personal information may include your name, contact details, emergency contact information, wellness goals, activity preferences, and any health considerations you choose to share with us to ensure safe participation in our nature-based programs. We also collect information about your program participation and progress to help track your wellness journey and improve our services.

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and usage patterns to improve our website functionality and user experience.

How We Use Your Information

Your personal information is used primarily to provide you with exceptional wellness services and support. We use this information to design and customize your wellness program, communicate with you about activities and schedules, ensure your safety during outdoor programs, and provide ongoing support for your wellness goals.

We may also use your information to improve our programs based on participant feedback and outcomes, conduct research to enhance our understanding of nature-based wellness for mature adults, and communicate with you about program updates, wellness tips, and community events that may interest you.

Your contact information allows us to send you important program communications, safety information, and emergency notifications when necessary. We respect your communication preferences and will honor your choices about the types of communications you wish to receive from us.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We take your privacy seriously and do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties without your consent, except as described in this policy. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our programs, conducting our business, or serving you, as long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

In emergency situations, we may share necessary health information with emergency responders or healthcare providers to ensure your safety and well-being. We may also share information when required by law, to protect our rights and property, or to protect the safety of our participants and staff.

When we share information for research purposes, all data is aggregated and anonymized to protect your individual privacy. No personally identifiable information is included in research data or publications.

Data Security and Protection

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online and through our programs.

Our staff members are trained in privacy protection and are required to maintain the confidentiality of participant information. Access to your personal information is limited to those staff members who need the information to provide services to you or to fulfill legitimate business purposes.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We work continuously to improve our security measures and will notify you of any significant security incidents that may affect your information.

Your Privacy Rights

You have the right to access, update, or correct your personal information at any time. You may request to see what information we have about you, ask us to update or correct inaccurate information, or request that we delete your information from our systems, subject to any legal or contractual obligations to retain certain information.

You have the right to opt out of certain communications from us, such as promotional emails or newsletters, while still receiving essential program communications. You can manage your communication preferences by contacting us directly or using the unsubscribe options in our communications.

If you have concerns about how your information is being handled, you have the right to file a complaint with us or with appropriate regulatory authorities. We are committed to addressing any privacy concerns promptly and transparently.
