When visiting our sites, (AurielsLight.org, WaldorfEssentials.com, SeasonsOfSeven.com, MelisaNielsen.com) your privacy is important to us. We want to be completely transparent with how our sites collect and use data.
1. What do our websites do with your information?
When you purchase a course, coaching or an eBook from our store, as part of the buying process, certain data is collected. The data we generally collect focuses on what is needed for the processing of your order and for your subsequent access to the course(s) you purchased.
When you purchase a course, i.e., Thinking Feeling Willing, Early Childhood & Kindergarten, Geometry, etc., as part of your course set up, you are required to set up an email account that is specific to your membership in said course. This allows you access to your course. We NEVER sell this information. It is used for the expressed purpose of communicating with you regarding your course or membership.
Course members can also expect regular emails to help you stay engaged and keep you up to date regarding program updates and additions. These email lists will also be used in the event of a site outage, site move or other communication that is necessary. You can of course opt out of these emails by logging in and accessing your profile. If you choose to opt out, please be aware that you will get no information from us regarding your membership.
