IS THERE ANY INFORMATION COLLECTED AND HOW IS THE INFORMATION STORED?
The only information that is collected is collected via the waiver that you voluntarily fill out at The Sangha Trinidad’s location. This information is then added to our database which is stored online through a company called Mindbody Online. It is only stored there to allow us the ability to send you automated messages regarding your passes (i.e. receipts and renewal updates) and your birthday and to for us to store any medical history and your contact info. To find out more about Mindbody Online you can read their Privacy Policy information at https://www.mindbodyonline.com/privacy-policy. Please note that not all the information refers to you, our clients, but mostly refers to The Sangha Trinidad, their client. This link is only provided so that you can see the high standard of protection they use when we use them. The waivers are further stored at a secure location that only the managing director and admin staff have access to. Any information collected by phone is not stored.
