Payments and third-party services

When you register for an online or in-person class or appointment, information such as your name, email address, selected service, date and time, payment status, and information you voluntarily provide about your participation may be collected.

Online classes may be delivered using third-party video conferencing services such as Zoom. Use of those services may also be subject to the provider's own privacy policy.
