Rest assured, your privacy is practically sacred here.
At Michigan Yoga Association, we’re committed to creating a welcoming, safe space, both in person and online. That includes being thoughtful about how your information is collected and used.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we take care of it.
1. What we collect
We only collect what we need to serve you and keep things running smoothly.
a. Information You Share With Us
When you sign up for something, donate, or reach out, you may share:
Your name
Email address
Phone number (optional)
Billing or mailing address
Event registration details
Donation or sponsorship information
b. Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we collect some basic info to understand how people use our site:
IP address
Browser and device type
Pages you visit and time spent on the site
How you got to our website
2. How We Use Your Information
We try to keep communication meaningful, not overwhelming, which means we limit what we say and send, and use your information only to:

Process donations or sponsorships
Send important updates or confirmations
Share occasional emails (only if you’ve opted in)
Improve our website and offerings
Keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes
3. Technology and tools we use
We’re a small, volunteer-led organization, so we rely on a few trusted platforms to help us operate:
Squarespace hosts our website.
Google Analytics helps us understand website traffic (in a general, non-personal way).
Givebutter helps us manage emails, events, donations, and supporter relationships.
Stripe and PayPal securely process payments on our behalf.
If you make a donation, register for an event, or purchase something, your payment information is handled securely by Stripe. We never store your full credit card details.

You can adjust cookie settings anytime in your browser. If you have cookies enabled, our website will use them to:
Ensure that our site functions properly
Understand how it’s being used by visitors like you
Make intentional improvements to your experience
5. Social media
We link to social media platforms from our site. If you click those links or engage with us on those platforms, they have and operate according to their own privacy policies.
6. Sharing your information
We don’t sell or rent your information. Ever. We only share information when necessary to:
Run our website and services (through the tools listed above)
Meet legal requirements, if applicable
7. Keeping your information safe
We take reasonable steps to protect your information using secure tools and platforms. That said, no system is completely foolproof, but we do our best to keep things safe and secure.
8. Your choices
You’re always in control of your information. You can:
Ask to see what information we have
Request updates or corrections
Ask us to delete your information
Unsubscribe from emails at any time
Just reach out—we’re happy to help.
9. Email and SMS communication
If you’ve signed up to hear from us, we may send occasional updates about events, offerings, or ways to get involved. We will only communicate via email or text message in alignment with the methods you choose. You can unsubscribe anytime using the link in the footer of our emails or opt-out instructions that follow each message.
10. Children’s privacy
Our website isn’t intended for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from children.
11. Updates to this policy
