Support & Policies | The Teachings of Light

The Teachings of Light respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently.

The Teachings of Light is operated by TRANSC3ND3NC3 LLC (“The Teachings of Light,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our websites, subscribe to our communications, purchase or subscribe to our services, contact us, or otherwise interact with The Teachings of Light.

1. Information You Provide to Us

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, including:

your name;
email address;
billing information;
subscription or purchase information;
information submitted through forms;
communications you send to us;
customer-support inquiries; and
other information you choose to provide.

You are not required to provide personal information simply to read publicly available content on our websites.

Certain information is required, however, when you subscribe, make a purchase, request digital content, or contact us through a form.

2. Payment Information

Payments and recurring subscriptions are processed through Stripe.

Stripe may collect payment-card details, billing information, transaction information, and other information necessary to process your payment.

We do not directly receive or store your complete credit or debit card number.

Stripe processes payment information according to its own privacy and security practices.

3. Email and Subscriber Information

We use MailerLite to manage email subscribers, deliver communications, provide digital content, and support The Path Within subscription.

Depending on how you interact with our emails, MailerLite may process information such as:

your name and email address;
subscriber-group or subscription status;
emails delivered to you;
whether an email was opened;
links clicked within an email;
subscription, unsubscribe, or preference activity; and
certain technical information associated with email delivery.

We use this information to deliver requested content, operate subscriptions, understand whether our communications are functioning properly, and improve the usefulness of our services.

4. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our websites, certain information may be collected automatically by us or by service providers that help operate our websites.

This may include:

IP address;
browser type;
device type;
operating system;
referring pages or websites;
pages visited;
approximate location derived from IP address;
date and time of access; and
other technical or usage information.

This information may be used for security, troubleshooting, website operation, analytics, and understanding how visitors use our services.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our websites and service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate website features, remember preferences, maintain security, process transactions, and understand website usage.

Some cookies may be necessary for the website or service to function properly.

Other cookies or similar technologies may be used for analytics or measurement where enabled.

You may be able to control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of our websites or services.

Where applicable law requires consent for certain non-essential cookies or tracking technologies, we will use them subject to the required consent.

6. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

provide websites, teachings, downloads, and services you request;
create and manage subscriptions;
process transactions and recurring payments;
deliver The Path Within teachings;
send purchase, billing, renewal, delivery, and cancellation communications;
respond to questions or support requests;
send newsletters or other communications you have chosen to receive;
maintain subscriber preferences;
prevent fraud, misuse, or security threats;

We do not use personal information for purposes materially different from those described in this Privacy Policy without providing appropriate notice where required.

7. Marketing Communications

If you choose to subscribe to promotional, educational, or marketing emails, we may send you communications from The Teachings of Light.

You may unsubscribe from optional marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in the email.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily stop transactional or service-related emails that are required to administer a purchase or active subscription.

For example, an active subscriber may still receive teaching-delivery emails, billing notices, renewal notices, or other communications necessary to provide the service.

8. How We Share Information

We may share personal information with trusted service providers when necessary to operate our business and provide our services.

These may include providers that assist with:

payment processing;
email delivery and subscriber management;
website hosting;
digital-content delivery;
analytics;
security;
customer support; and
other technical or administrative services.

These providers receive information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or as otherwise permitted by law.

Our current service providers include Stripe for payment processing and MailerLite for email and subscriber management.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

comply with applicable law or legal process;
respond to lawful requests from public authorities;
protect our rights, safety, or property;
investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents; or
enforce our agreements.

9. Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information to advertisers or other third parties for monetary compensation.

If our practices materially change in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated and any rights required by applicable law will be provided.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining business and transaction records, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, and protecting legitimate business interests.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Certain transaction, billing, tax, or accounting records may be retained for longer periods where required or reasonably necessary.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

We also rely on reputable service providers to maintain security appropriate to the services they provide.

No method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
