Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how The Dharma Academy OÜ ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit thedharmaacademy.com or purchase our products.

The Dharma Academy OÜ is a company registered in Estonia (Estonian e-Residency). For data protection purposes, we are the data controller.

What We Collect

When you purchase a product or subscribe to our services, we collect your name and email address (provided at checkout) and payment information (processed by Stripe — we do not store your card details).

We also collect usage data through Cloudflare Web Analytics (page views and basic analytics, no cookies). If you arrived through a Meta advertisement, we share purchase events with Meta through the Conversions API for ad measurement, which includes a hashed version of your email address and purchase amount.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data to deliver the products you purchased (via Hello Audio), send you transactional emails related to your purchase (via MailerLite), measure advertising performance (via Meta Conversions API), and improve our website and products.

We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

We use the following services to operate our business, each with their own privacy policy: Stripe (payment processing), Hello Audio (product delivery via private podcast), MailerLite (email communication), Cloudflare (website hosting and analytics), and Meta Platforms (advertising measurement via Conversions API).

Cookies

We do not use cookies for analytics or advertising. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookie-free. Meta advertising measurement is handled server-side through the Conversions API. Stripe may set functional cookies required for payment processing — these are strictly necessary and not used for tracking.

Your Rights Under GDPR

Because we operate under Estonian law within the European Union, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data. You can also object to processing based on legitimate interest or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@thedharmaacademy.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and fulfill legal obligations. If you request deletion, we will remove your data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., tax and accounting records retained for 7 years as required by Estonian law).

All Sales Final

All purchases are final. We do not offer refunds. This is stated in our Terms of Service.

Children

Our products are not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
