Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you:

• Create an account or use our services
• Submit contact forms or communicate with us
• Participate in surveys, contests, or promotions
• Subscribe to our newsletters or updates

Types of information may include:

• Name, email address, phone number
• Account credentials and preferences
• Communications and correspondence
• Usage data and analytics information
• Device information and IP addresses

We may use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

• Providing, maintaining, and improving our services
• Processing transactions and sending related information
• Sending administrative information and updates
• Responding to comments, questions, and requests
• Personalizing and improving user experience
• Conducting research, analytics, and data analysis
• Marketing and promotional communications (with consent)
• Detecting, preventing, and addressing fraud or security issues
• Complying with legal obligations and protecting rights

Forms on this site use Jid Signals, which reads your approximate location and network type from your connection to help prevent fraud; your IP address is not stored. When you submit a form, we check the business details you give (such as your e-mail address, company name, phone number, location and message) with Jid (jid.com), our fraud-prevention provider, to confirm the enquiry comes from a real business. Leads are stored by Jid as our processor: Jid keeps the enquiry (your name, e-mail address, phone number, company, website and message) with its result in our leads inbox, encrypted, for up to 12 months, or less if we delete it sooner. For the check itself, Jid keeps the result, your e-mail domain, a keyed one-way hash of your e-mail address and a one-way hash of the message for 30 days. After we review an enquiry we may mark it with Jid as legitimate, a sales pitch, spam or a scam. Jid keeps that report for up to 24 months with the company and e-mail domain concerned and the keyed hash of your e-mail address (never the address itself). Jid publishes only counts about businesses, once at least two independent businesses agree, never anything about an individual (jid.com/privacy, section 2b).

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• With Service Providers: Third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf
• For Legal Compliance: When required by law or to protect rights and safety
• Business Transfers: In connection with mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales
• With Consent: When you explicitly agree to share information
• Aggregated Data: De-identified, aggregated information for research or analytics

We reserve the right to use, analyze, and derive insights from all data provided to improve our services and conduct research.

When you send an enquiry from a retreat centre's profile, we store your name, email address, timeframe, message, the centre and page it was about, and the time. It comes to Peyote.com.

The form has a box, unticked by default, that reads "Share my enquiry with [centre name] so they can reply to me directly". With your enquiry we store whether you ticked it, when, and the exact wording and version you were shown.

• If you tick it: we send your enquiry (name, email address, timeframe and message) to that one named centre and no one else, so it can reply to you directly. Our server checks the consent stored with your enquiry before sending. What the centre then does with it is governed by the centre's own privacy policy.
• If you leave it unticked: your enquiry stays with Peyote.com and is not shared with any centre.

We do not sell leads or personal information. Centres pay no per-lead or per-enquiry fee, and we do not pass enquiries to any other centre, broker or marketer.

Centres can pay for featured placement, which is a listing feature and never includes access to readers' details. To ask us to delete an enquiry, write to hello@peyote.com.

A centre that buys featured placement pays through Stripe, which processes the payment and holds the card or bank details; we never see them. We keep the billing email, the centre it is for and the links, photos and note the centre supplies for its listing, with the subscription, to run and display the placement and to email receipts and changes to it.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Security Measures:

• Industry-standard encryption and security protocols
• Regular security assessments and updates
• Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
• Secure data storage and transmission practices

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: Request access to your personal information
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information
• Portability: Request transfer of your information
• Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the form on our About page.
