PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: July 11, 2026

​

1. Our Commitment to Your Sanctuary

At Alma Sanctuaries ("Alma," "we," "our," or "us"), we believe that privacy is an essential element of sanctuary. Just as we care for our physical environments, landscapes, and community spaces, we are dedicated to protecting the integrity of the personal data you entrust to us.

This Privacy Policy governs your engagement with our digital platform (https://www.almasanctuaries.com/), wellness inquiries, application processes, product acquisitions, and event registrations. It outlines the intentional and secure methods we use to collect, respect, and safeguard your information.

​

2. The Information We Guide and Protect

To provide seamlessly tailored experiences, high-end hospitality, and premium wellness products, we collect information that you explicitly share with us, alongside essential technical telemetry.

A. Intentionally Shared Data

We collect personal details only when you voluntarily offer them during your journey with Alma:

  • Identity & Liaison Details: Your name, phone number, secure email address, and physical shipping or billing locations.

  • Inquiry & Experiential Context: Information, reflections, and personal background details shared when applying for 1:1 guidance, hosting a gathering, or registering for private retreats (such as our Box Canyon Sanctuary).

  • Acquisition & Transaction Records: Information required to securely process arrangements for physical wellness products, ceremonial cacao, or retreat reservations.

  • Contributions: Information provided when electing to financially support our resident animals and broader stewardship missions.

Our Financial Protocol: All monetary and product transactions are executed exclusively through encrypted, premium third-party financial institutions. Alma never stores or maintains raw credit card information or banking credentials on our internal servers.

B. Digital Telemetry and Analytics

To maintain an elegant, high-performance digital presence, we gather non-identifying technical data when you navigate our site:

  • Usage Telemetry: Your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, and the specific curated pages you interact with.

  • Curation Cookies: We utilize refined cookies and tracking technologies to remember your preferences, streamline your return to our platform, and analyze our website's traffic performance. You may modify your device preferences to decline cookies, though it may alter the seamless fluidity of our digital interface.

 

3. Sophisticated Data Utilization

Alma utilizes your personal data strictly to cultivate and manage our conscious living community, spaces, and services:

  • Experiential Curation: To orchestrate, confirm, and refine your participation in private gatherings, nature-based retreats, workshops, and ceremonial spaces.

  • Bespoke Commerce: To process, package, and deliver our physical wellness collections, ceremonial products, and botanical items directly to your address.

  • Refined Communication: To provide booking confirmations, itinerary updates, and precise answers to your unique inquiries.

  • Journal Subscriptions: If you explicitly opt in to stay connected, we use your email address to share stories from the road, updates on sanctuary life, and invitations to upcoming circles. You retain absolute control over this communication and may unsubscribe at any trigger.

 

4. Integrity in Distribution: No Third-Party Sales

Alma Sanctuaries does not, under any circumstance, sell, rent, trade, or commercially exploit your personal data.

Your data is shared exclusively with a strictly vetted group of trusted operating partners who assist us in delivering our services:

  • Essential Service Partners: Specialized third parties managing secure payment gateways, international shipping logistics, email delivery systems, and hosting analytics. These partners are legally bound to protect your data and are forbidden from utilizing it for any secondary purpose.

  • Legal Protections: We will only disclose personal data if required by formal judicial process, statutory regulation, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to defend the safety, rights, and physical peace of our sanctuaries, participants, staff, or animals.

 

5. Architectural Security and Preservation

We implement elite, industry-standard administrative and physical security architecture to ensure your personal data remains completely insulated against unauthorized access, compromise, disclosure, or alteration.

  • Preservation Limitations: We retain your personal data strictly for the duration necessary to satisfy the specific intents detailed in this policy, manage continuous client relationships, fulfill tax or accounting requirements, and address legal operational necessities.

 

6. Discretion and Sovereign Data Rights

We honor your right to control your digital footprint. Depending on your primary jurisdiction (such as California), you possess sovereign rights regarding your personal data, which you may exercise at any time:

  • The Right to Review: Request a full disclosure of the personal data assets we hold in your name.

  • The Right to Rectify: Correct or update any incomplete or inaccurate aspects of your profile.

  • The Right to Erasure: Request the absolute deletion of your personal records from our digital servers, subject to existing legal compliance requirements.

To initiate any privacy request, please communicate directly with our brand management team at the coordinates provided below.

 

7. External Platforms

Our digital sanctuary may contain curated links to external media platforms, social channels, or independent service providers. Because we do not command or possess operational authority over external entities, we advise reviewing their standalone privacy statements upon departure from our site.

 

8. Juvenile Data Privacy

Our products, platforms, and nature-based experiences are crafted for adult audiences. We do not knowingly solicit, process, or track data belonging to individuals under the age of 18. If it is brought to our attention that a minor has submitted personal profile details, we will instantly delete the records from our secure data banks.

 

9. Policy Transformations

Alma reserves the right to elevate and modify this Privacy Policy to align with changing global data regulations and our brand’s operational expansion. Any intentional updates will be updated instantly on this digital page with a revised "Effective Date" marker.
