We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar tracking technologies on anchoredyoga.buzz. These technologies help us operate the site, analyze traffic, and deliver and measure advertising.

Outbrain Advertising

Anchored Yoga uses Outbrain Inc., a content discovery and native advertising platform, to promote our services across the web. Outbrain may use cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies to:

• Serve our ads to users on Outbrain's network of publisher websites
• Retarget users who have previously visited anchoredyoga.buzz
• Build interest-based audience segments to deliver more relevant ads
• Measure ad impressions, clicks, and conversions

Opt out of Outbrain interest-based ads: You can opt out of Outbrain's behavioral targeting at any time by visiting Outbrain's Interest Profile page.

You may also opt out of interest-based advertising more broadly through:

• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out tool
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out tool
• Your Online Choices (EU/UK)

Please note that opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads from Anchored Yoga — it means those ads will no longer be personalized based on your browsing behavior.

Third-Party Services

In addition to Outbrain, anchoredyoga.buzz may use the following third-party services, each of which has its own privacy policy:

• Google Analytics — website analytics and traffic reporting. Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Google Fonts — typography delivery. May log your IP address.
• Email service provider — for sending booking confirmations and communications.

We do not control how these third parties collect or use your data. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information in limited circumstances:

• Service providers — we may share data with vendors who help us operate our website and business (e.g., hosting, email, analytics), under contractual confidentiality obligations.
• Advertising partners — we share aggregated or hashed audience data with advertising platforms including Outbrain to deliver relevant ads. We do not share raw contact form submissions with advertisers.
• Legal requirements — we may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Anchored Yoga, our customers, or others.
• Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and maintain our business records — typically no longer than 24 months from the date of submission, unless a longer retention period is required by law or you have an ongoing relationship with us as a student.
