This Privacy Policy explains how Reiki Works (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit reikiworks.ca. We are based in Ontario, Canada, and this policy is written to meet the requirements of Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), as well as relevant provisions of the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) for visitors covered by those laws.

Who we are

Our website address is https://reikiworks.ca. Reiki Works is operated as a small local practice offering Reiki, Shamballa, Therapeutic Touch, and related energy healing services by appointment.

Information we collect

We collect information in a few limited ways: information you submit through our contact forms (name, email address, and message), information you leave in blog comments (your comment content plus your IP address and browser user agent, used to help detect spam), and anonymous aggregate traffic data collected through our analytics tool.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you have a Gravatar profile picture. Gravatar’s own privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. If your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to this website, avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

When you submit a contact form on this site, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and message, in order to respond to your inquiry. This information is stored securely and is not sold or shared with third parties, except as needed to send you a reply (for example, through our email delivery service) or where required by law.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details the next time you comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we also set several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks.

This site uses a cookie consent banner so that visitors from jurisdictions requiring opt-in consent (such as the EU/UK under GDPR) can choose which non-essential cookies to allow before they are set.

Analytics

We use a privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics tool (Statify) to understand overall visitor traffic to this site. It does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track individual visitors across sessions or other websites.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to and resolve your inquiry, after which they are periodically deleted.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain uses of it. If you are in the EU/UK, these rights arise under the GDPR. If you are a California resident, similar rights are available under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to opt out of its sale (we do not sell personal information). If you are in Canada, PIPEDA gives you the right to access and request correction of your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.

Children’s privacy

This website is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including a website firewall and security monitoring, to protect the information we hold from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Affiliate Links

Some articles on this website contain affiliate links to products on Amazon.ca and Amazon.com through the Amazon Associates program. We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and the Amazon.ca Associates Program, both affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon products.

When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only link to products that are relevant to the topic of the article — such as books on Reiki, crystals, essential oils, sleep aids, and complementary wellness items — and we do not accept payment to feature specific products.

Affiliate links on this site are identified with the disclosure line “(Amazon affiliate link — we earn a small commission at no cost to you.)” appearing near the link. Our affiliate tracking tag is crywinpat-20.

Affiliate income helps support the cost of running this website. It does not influence the content, recommendations, or opinions expressed in our articles.
