This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the information contained in Dancing Meditation’s General Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) and applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended) and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “CCPA”). Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Privacy Notice.

If you do not reside in the State of California, this notice does not apply to you.

2. Indirectly from your activity on our website (e.g., usage details, IP addresses, cookies).
3. From our business partners, affiliates, or service providers (e.g., booking or payment platforms).

2. USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the following business purposes:

1. To fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information (e.g., processing booking requests, responding to inquiries, sending session updates).
2. To provide you with requested products or services, including payment processing and order fulfillment.
3. To send you email alerts, event notices, and other promotional materials about DM’s products or services.
4. To carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts between you and us, including billing and collections.

7. To respond to law enforcement or as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.
8. As otherwise described in our General Privacy Policy, or disclosed at the time personal information is collected.

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use personal information for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

3. SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose. In such instances, we enter into a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose other than performing the contract.

In the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for a business purpose:

• Identifiers (A), Customer records info (B), Commercial info (D), and Internet activity (F), etc.
• Disclosed to service providers (e.g., booking platforms, payment processors, marketing partners) for our business operations.

We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money. However, we may share certain identifiers or internet/electronic network activity with advertising or analytics providers, which might be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under CCPA if done for cross-context behavioral advertising. If we engage in such practices, you have the right to opt out.

Categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information:

1. Service Providers (e.g., hosting, payment, analytics).
2. Affiliates or business partners with whom we collaborate on events or promotions.
3. Third parties to whom you authorize us to disclose your information in connection with services we provide.

In the preceding 12 months, we have not sold any personal information for monetary compensation.

4. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes those rights and explains how to exercise them.

A. Right to Know / Access

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose:

• The categories of personal information collected.
• The categories of sources from which personal information is collected.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting (or selling/sharing) personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

B. Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any personal information we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., completing a transaction, detecting security incidents, legal obligations). Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information, unless an exception applies.

C. Right to Correct

You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information about you.

D. Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing

If we share or “sell” your personal information (as defined by the CCPA), you have the right to direct us to stop. We do not currently sell personal information for monetary value. If in the future we do share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, you have the right to opt out via any “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism or contacting us directly.

E. Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. For example, we will not deny you goods or services, or charge you different prices, or provide a different level or quality of service unless permitted by the CCPA.
