PRIVACY

***Personal message from Courtney: The information below is based on a template that covers numerous legal bases. However, I want to be clear that some of the verbiage doesn't resonate with me or my business practices. For example, this template makes it sound like I might share your information with a third party, which is not accurate (other than understandable exceptions such as including your email address in my Kajabi email list, which is a list used only by me and Kajabi is a technology platform I utilize to craft "prettier" emails). It is important to me that I am clear in my message that I just want to offer you helpful hypnosis options, but templates such as the one below are legally required. Many thanks for your understanding. :)
