Effective Date: July 13, 2026

​

At the Science of Becoming Institute, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose your personal information when you visit our website, use the Emergence Sanctuary™ app, or use our other Services.

1. Information We Collect

• Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and billing information you voluntarily provide when signing up for coaching, keynotes, workshops, corporate programs, courses, the Emergence Sanctuary™ app, newsletters, or downloads.

• Payment Information: Payment card and billing details are collected and processed by our third-party payment processor. We do not store full payment card numbers on our own servers.

• App Content: If you use the Emergence Sanctuary™ app, we may collect account information, subscription and billing status, and app usage data. Journal entries, mood check-ins, and reflective content you enter within the app are personal to you; we do not review this content as part of normal operations, and access is limited to what is necessary to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot the app.

• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on the site, browser type, device information, IP address, and similar technical information collected automatically via cookies and analytics tools.

2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:

• Provide coaching, keynotes, workshops, corporate programs, courses, and app access you request

• Process payments and manage subscriptions securely

• Send newsletters, updates, and promotional content (you can unsubscribe at any time)

• Improve our website, app, and offerings

• Communicate with you about appointments, bookings, services, or support inquiries

• Where you engage us on behalf of an organization (for example, a corporate workshop), provide aggregated, non-identifying summaries to that organization as described in the relevant engagement agreement

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the website and app, process payments, host data, or deliver communications, only to the extent necessary and under appropriate confidentiality obligations. These providers may include website hosting, app hosting and database providers, payment processors, and email/CRM platforms.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and third-party tools (such as analytics services) to gather usage information. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, but this may affect site functionality.

5. Data Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of internet transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. App content such as journal entries and mood check-ins is retained for as long as your account remains active, or as otherwise described at the time of collection.
