Our Privacy Policy

Last Updated: Jan 15th, 2024

We are a wellness platform. We provide a digital platform with coaching and team challenges to help our members achieve their wellness goals. When you use these services, you’ll share some information with us. So we want to be upfront about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we share it with, and the controls we give you to access, update, and delete your information. That’s why we’ve written this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms of Service. So, please make sure that you have read and understand our Terms of Service (Terms and Condition - Wellness Coach).

All individuals whose responsibilities include the processing of any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Personal Information”) on behalf of meditation.live are expected to protect that data by adherence to this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

There are two basic categories of information we collect:

  • Information you choose to give us.

  • Information we get when you use our services.

Here’s a little more detail on each of these categories.

Information You Choose to Give Us

When you interact with our services, we collect the information that you choose to share with us. For example, most of our services require you to set up an account or log into our services using 3rd party accounts such as Google and Facebook, so we need to collect a few important details about you, such as: a unique username you’d like to go by, a password, an email address, gender, city of user and age. To make it easier for others to find you, we may also ask you to provide us with some additional information that will be publicly visible on our services, such as profile pictures, a name, your current or other useful identifying information.

Health data Collection and Use: It's your choice to share your health data with us. You can choose what data you want to share with us. We collect this data from sources like Apple Health and Google Health and/or any wearables that may be connected to these sources or connected independently. This data is used to help our members understand their wellness patterns, and offer tailored recommendations. This data can include metrics related to sleep, walking, physical workouts, and other wellness indicators. We also use this information for team challenges as e.g. for walking challenges, we would sync step count from your device to our platform and update the leaderboards.

Health Data Consent: By connecting your Apple Health or Google Health or any account with health information with our platform, you provide explicit consent for us to access and use your health data as described in this privacy policy. You can revoke this consent at any time by disconnecting your health accounts or contacting our support team.

During live classes or (other future live offerings), you can choose to have your camera and microphone on. This allows you to interact with our Coaches and other students. We believe it's better to learn together. All these live sessions are recorded and may be used for promotions or future on-demand teachings, compliance with legal obligations or to enforce our code of conduct. If you don't want to be part of video and audio recording, simply keep your video turned off and audio muted.

It probably goes without saying: When you contact customer support or communicate with us in any other way, we’ll collect whatever information you volunteer.

Information We Get When You Use Our Services

When you use our services, we collect information about which of those services you’ve used and how you’ve used them. We might know, for instance, that you watched a particular on demand video, joined a live class or two. Here’s a fuller explanation of the types of information we collect when you use our services:
