Privacy policy

Creating Beyond considers privacy an important issue, so we build and operate our online services with the protection of privacy taken into account.

This Privacy Policy (“Notice”) sets out the types of personal information we collect from you when you use our website, how we collect and process that information, who we share it with and certain rights you have in relation to that information. This Notice applies to this website www.creatingbeyond.com which is owned and operated by Source in Healing and any other websites operated by Creating Beyond which point to this Notice.

Who is responsible for your personal data?

Creating Beyond is responsible for your personal data. Creating Beyond refers to Creating Beyond LLC, 24384 Chippewa, Farmington Hills, MI. 48335 in the US.
 

Collection of your personal data

We may collect limited personal data your browser makes available to our website when you visit. This log information includes your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your visit and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser (for more information see the Cookies section below). We use this information to better understand users’ behavior to further improve our offerings as well as to prevent malicious use such as hacking and denial of service attacks.

Some of our services require you to register for an account. We will ask you for some personal information in order to create an account and we will use that information to provide the service. For certain services we may request credit card or other payment information which we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers.

When we require you to provide additional personal data, we will inform you at that time about the types of information we collect, how we use it, who it is shared with and how long we will store it. We hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing your personal information with us.

We will use the personal information you provide only to fulfill the purpose for which we acquired the information. Your data will not be used for other purposes such as direct marketing unless we have notified you and, where legally required, we have your explicit consent.

User generated content

We offer certain services where you can post information on the site which will then be available to other visitors of the site. Examples are reviews and comments on blogs.

When you post, basic information identifying you as the poster will be made available to other visitors together with your posted information. This information includes your name or alias, and where relevant, may include other information such as your country or the name of the company or organization you work for. You have control over this data in your user profile and can control what will be shown in your posts.

Information sharing

We may share such information in any of the following limited circumstances:

  • We have your express and documented consent.

  • We provide such information to trusted businesses or persons for the sole purpose of processing your request on our behalf. When this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and in compliance with applicable data protection law and appropriate confidentiality and security measures and you will be appropriately informed.

  • We conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Creating Beyond, its users or the public.

Where your personal data is transferred to our processors outside the European Economic Area or to an area without a European Commission decision that adequate safeguards are provided, this will be covered in the relevant information notice and we will seek your consent where required by applicable data protection law.

In the event of a transfer of ownership of parts of Creating Beyond, such as acquisition by or merger with another company, we will provide notice and (where required by law) ask for your consent before any personal data is transferred and thereby becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We may share your personal data among some service providers and partners to the extent necessary to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our services. Some of these partners may be located in countries outside of the European Economic Area which do not provide the same level of data protection as the country in which you reside and are not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. We only transfer personal information to these countries subject to safeguards that assure the protection of your personal information, such as European Commission approved standard contractual clauses.

We will not disclose your personal information to other people or non-affiliated companies, except in the limited circumstances described in this Policy or with your consent.

How long do we keep your personal data?

Unless otherwise specified in the privacy notice for the relevant service, we will keep your data for the minimum amount of time that is required to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements (including as necessary for Creating Beyond to defend against legal claims). For example, if we ask for your personal details when you are registering for a seminar, we will keep your data until the seminar is over plus a reasonable period afterwards in order to be able to respond to questions or complaints. Once your data is no longer required, we will permanently delete it in accordance with applicable law.

Information security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.

We restrict access to your personal data to Creating Beyond employees and service providers who need to have that information in order to fulfill your request or supply our services.
