If privacy law in your location requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we may rely on:
Consent: You have given permission for a particular use, such as receiving marketing communications or submitting certain voluntary information.
Contractual necessity: Processing is needed to deliver a resource, purchase, membership, or service you requested.
Legitimate interests: Processing supports reasonable business activities such as website operation, customer service, security, analytics, and improvement, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
Legal obligations: Processing is necessary to meet accounting, tax, regulatory, or other legal requirements.
Protection of vital interests: Processing is necessary to protect someone’s safety in limited circumstances.
You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.
When you request a free resource, make a purchase, create an account, apply for support, or join the Healing Library, you may receive transactional messages necessary to deliver or administer that offering.
If you consent to marketing communications, you may also receive educational resources, supportive insights, business updates, and promotional emails from The Root of Positivity.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link included in an email or contacting us.
Unsubscribing from marketing messages does not:
Cancel a paid membership;
Remove access to a purchased resource;
Delete your account; or
Prevent essential transactional, billing, security, or service-related communications.
The website and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies.
These technologies may support:
Essential functions: Account access, security, checkout, and delivery of requested features.
Functional preferences: Remembering settings and improving the user experience.
Analytics: Understanding website visits, traffic sources, page activity, and performance.
Advertising measurement: Understanding whether advertisements lead to visits, signups, or purchases and, where enabled, helping deliver relevant advertising.
Analytics and advertising technologies may be provided by platforms such as Google and Meta. These companies may receive device, browser, cookie, activity, or conversion information according to their own privacy policies.
You may be able to manage nonessential cookies through the website’s cookie settings or your browser. Blocking certain cookies may affect account access, checkout, or other website functions.
Browser “Do Not Track” signals are not currently governed by one uniform technical standard. Where required by applicable law and supported by our website technology, legally recognized privacy preference signals will be handled accordingly.

To enforce our agreements and policies; or
In connection with a merger, sale, transfer, reorganization, or other change involving the business or its assets.
We do not sell or rent personal information for money.
Some disclosures of online identifiers to advertising or analytics providers may be treated as “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under certain privacy laws, even when money is not exchanged. Where applicable, you may have the right to opt out of those practices.
Information you post in the Healing Library & Community may be visible to other community members. This may include your profile name, profile image, posts, comments, and information you voluntarily share.
Please avoid sharing information you want to keep private.
Members are expected to respect one another’s privacy, but we cannot guarantee that another participant will maintain the confidentiality of information shared in a community setting.
We will not publicly use private community content, personal stories, testimonials, or identifying information for marketing without permission, unless the material was intentionally submitted for public display or disclosure is required by law.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Provide the requested offering;
Maintain an active account or membership;
Complete transactions;
Respond to questions or resolve disputes;
Maintain appropriate business, tax, and financial records;
Protect the security and integrity of our offerings;
Enforce agreements; and
Meet legal obligations.
Retention periods vary according to the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Information may remain in secure backups for a limited period after deletion. We may also retain information that has been aggregated or de-identified so it no longer reasonably identifies an individual.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information.
We also rely on third-party platforms to provide security for information stored or processed through their services.
No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your account credentials and notifying us if you believe your account or personal information has been accessed without authorization.
The website, accounts, memberships, assessments, purchases, and personalized services are intended for adults who are at least 18 years old.
Materials created for children, including Little Roots resources, must be purchased, accessed, and supervised by a parent, legal guardian, educator, or other responsible adult.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Children should not create accounts, join the community, make purchases, complete forms, or submit personal information independently.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us at TheRootOfPositivity@outlook.com so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
Confirm whether we process your personal information;
Request access to the personal information we maintain about you;

Certain information may be retained or excluded from a request where permitted or required by law, including information needed to complete a transaction, maintain financial records, protect security, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.
You may also use an authorized agent to submit a request where permitted by law. We may ask for evidence that the agent has authority to act for you.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
The Root of Positivity is located in the United States, and our primary service providers may process information in the United States or other countries.

Where required, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers.
The website may link to or rely on third-party platforms, including Podia, payment processors, form providers, scheduling services, social-media platforms, and external websites.
