गोपनीयता नीति
Last updated: August 8, 2026
The Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics (“JPI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates jpibiodynamics.org and its online store. This Privacy Policy explains the personal information we collect, why we collect it, how it may be shared, and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, and billing or shipping address;
- order and transaction information, including products purchased, payment status, and fulfillment details;
- account and customer-service information, including messages you send us;
- device and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and cookie or similar technology data; and
- marketing preferences and information you choose to provide.
Payment information is processed by Shopify and applicable payment providers. JPI does not receive or store complete payment-card numbers.
How we use information
We use personal information to operate our website and store; process payments, orders, returns, and shipments; respond to questions; maintain security and prevent fraud; improve our services; meet legal obligations; and send marketing communications when permitted. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in the message.
How information is shared
We may share personal information with service providers that help us operate, including Shopify, payment processors, shipping carriers, analytics providers, and email or customer-support services. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our rights or users, or in connection with an organizational transaction. These providers may process information in locations outside your state or country.
We do not sell personal information for money. Some privacy laws define certain advertising or analytics disclosures as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising.” Where applicable, you may exercise available choices through our Your Privacy Choices page.
Cookies and analytics
Our website and service providers use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, understand site use, and support marketing. Browser settings and any privacy-choice tools displayed on the site may allow you to control some of these technologies. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.
Data retention and security
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including order fulfillment, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. We and our service providers use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. You may also appeal a decision where applicable.
Children’s privacy
Our services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children contrary to applicable law.
Third-party links
Our website may link to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and JPI is not responsible for their content or practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date above indicates the most recent revision.
