They say that a friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.

Friends are your chosen family.

The people who get you in a way others don’t.

The people who stand by you.

The people who cheer for you.

PAUSE…

So gather them around you,

Your beautiful friends,

Be it one or many,

And embrace your beautiful family.

So Let’s Begin…

FRIENDS ARE YOUR CHOSEN FAMILY MORNING MEDITATION SCRIPT

Relax yourself into comfort,

And surrender to the slow rhythm of your body.

PAUSE…

See if you can bring to mind,

The friends in your life.

PAUSE…

There may be many.

There may be few.

Imagine those friends who you connect with regularly.

And those who you may not talk to often, but are still close.

Imagine them all gathering around you,

Smiling at you with love.

LONG PAUSE…

This is your chosen family.

You are surrounded by love.

Namaste, Beautiful

What is our legal basis for processing personal data under general data protection regulation (GDPR)
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. It is our goal to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data.

In addition, we use regular malware scanning to help keep the website safe from hackers who might try to obtain data.

A cookie may also convey anonymous information about how you browse the website to us. A cookie does not collect personal information about you. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the website may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

You can have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.

Do we use third-party service providers?

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We do not control these third-party sites and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit. In addition, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about those sites.

What about Google?

Google’s advertising requirements can be reviewed through Google’s Advertising Principles. They are put in place to provide a positive experience for users.
We have not enabled Google AdSense on our site but we may do so in the future.

Are we in compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act?
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

Users can visit our site anonymously.

Our Privacy Policy is accessible through a link on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.

Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found as specified above.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page.

You can change your personal information by emailing us.


Do we comply with COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

What is our Fair Information Practice?

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. To be in line with Fair Information Practices we will notify you via email within 72 hours, as feasible, should a data breach occur:
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

Do we comply with the CAN SPAM Act?

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes specific requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
In compliance with this act, we collect your email address in order to:

Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.

Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.

Send you additional information related to your product and/or service

Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.
To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:

Avoid use of false or misleading subjects or email addresses.

Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.

Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.

Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.

Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.

Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.

Data protection laws give you the right to request erasure, to object to processing or to withdraw consent. If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can follow the instructions at the bottom of each email and we will promptly remove you from all correspondence. There is no fee for us to do this for you.

Since our Company is offering non-tangible irrevocable goods, we do not issue refunds once the order is accomplished. As a customer you are responsible for understanding this upon purchasing any item at our site. However, we realize that exceptional circumstance can take place with regard to the character of the services we provide.
