Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 9, 2026

At Salka Sanctuary, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit our website, www.salkasanctuary.com (the "Site"), or book our services.

Please note that Salka Sanctuary is a registered trade name (DBA) owned and operated by Heartful Roots, PLLC("we," "our," or "us").

1. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information from you in a variety of ways when you interact with our Site or utilize our services:

  • Personal Data: This includes personally identifiable information—such as your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address—that you voluntarily provide when you fill out a contact form, subscribe to our newsletter, complete a spiritual intake questionnaire, or book a session.

  • Financial Data: To process bookings, workshops, and purchases, we collect necessary payment details (such as credit card numbers, billing addresses, and card expiration dates). Note: We do not store full financial information on our servers. All transactions are securely processed through our third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, Square).

  • Technical and Derivative Data: Our website servers automatically collect standard log data when you visit our Site. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and the specific pages you view before, during, and after visiting the Site.

2. Clinical Privacy Firewall Notice

Because our founder is a licensed healthcare clinician operating a separate mental health practice under the parent entity Heartful Roots, PLLC, we maintain absolute data separation. Your spiritual intake forms, session notes, and contact information collected via this Site are stored on an independent consumer booking network. They are never integrated into, cross-referenced with, or stored within any clinical electronic health record (EHR) system used for psychological medical billing or clinical therapy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to maintain a smooth, personalized experience. Specifically, we use your data to:

  • Schedule, manage, and send reminders for your private shamanic healing appointments or group workshops.

  • Securely process your financial transactions and issue receipts.

  • Deliver our email newsletter, updates, and promotional spiritual content (which you can easily opt out of at any time).

  • Respond to your inquiries, customer service requests, or contact form submissions.

  • Analyze website performance to improve our user experience.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. We only share your data with trusted partners necessary to keep our business operational, including:

  • Third-Party Service Providers: We share data with applications that handle our payment processing, booking software, website hosting, and email marketing. These platforms are contractually obligated to protect your data privacy.

  • By Law or to Prevent Harm: We may disclose your information if required to do so by legal subpoenas, state laws, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of our community, investigate fraudulent activity, or fulfill mandated reporting requirements regarding imminent harm to yourself or others.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site may use "cookies" and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your hard drive that help us analyze web traffic and remember your preferences. You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your individual browser settings; however, disabling cookies may impact the functionality of certain elements on our Site.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures to safeguard your personal data. While we take commercial best practices to protect your information, please be aware that no security system is 100% impenetrable, and no data transmission over the internet can be completely guaranteed against unauthorized interception.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your geographical location, you may have specific privacy rights regarding your data, including:

  • The Right to Access / Correction: You can request copies of the personal data we hold about you or request that we fix inaccuracies.

  • The Right to Deletion ("Right to be Forgotten"): You can request that we erase your personal data from our active marketing lists and booking history under certain conditions.
