Growing Deep Inc. Privacy Policy
Effective and last updated: September 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Growing Deep Inc. ("Growing Deep," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit www.sarahpaasch.com, purchase products or services, schedule or participate in sessions or programs, subscribe to communications, or otherwise interact with us (collectively, the "Services").
By using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Services.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly
Depending on how you interact with us, you may provide information such as:
• Contact information, such as your name, email address, phone number, and mailing or billing address.
• Purchase and transaction information, such as the products or services you purchase, payment confirmation, and related transaction details. Payment card information is generally processed by our payment processors rather than stored directly by us.
• Scheduling information, including appointment selections and information you choose to provide when booking.
•Information used to provide astrology services, such as birth date, birth time, birth location, and questions or context you voluntarily provide for a reading.
•Information you voluntarily share in connection with coaching, consultations, programs, forms, surveys, email correspondence, or customer support.
• Newsletter or marketing preferences, including your email address and subscription choices. Information collected automatically
When you use the Site, we and service providers that support the Site may automatically collect certain technical and usage information. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location derived from IP address, and information about how you interact with the Site or our emails. This information may be collected through cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies.
Information from service providers
We may receive information from companies that help us operate our business, website, scheduling, payments, communications, programs, and digital services. These providers may include Squarespace, Squarespace Scheduling/Acuity, Square or other payment processors, Zoom, Google services, and community or program platforms we use. The information available to us depends on the service and your interaction with it.
2. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to:
• Provide and administer astrology readings, coaching, consultations, programs, events, digital resources, and other products or services you request.
• Schedule appointments and communicate with you about bookings, purchases, programs, or services.
• Process transactions and maintain business and financial records.
• Respond to questions, requests, and customer-service communications.
• Send newsletters, announcements, or promotional communications when you have subscribed or otherwise consented to receive them.
• Operate, maintain, secure, analyze, and improve the Site and Services.
• Prevent fraud, misuse, or security incidents and protect our legal rights.
• Comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations.
3. Cookies, Analytics, and Online Tracking
The Site may use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions, preferences, analytics, and other features provided through Squarespace or services connected to the Site. Some third-party services may collect information about your activity according to their own privacy practices.
You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through cookie or privacy controls presented on the Site. Blocking some cookies may affect Site functionality.
Do Not Track and similar signals. Browser-based Do Not Track signals are not interpreted uniformly across the internet. The Site may not respond to traditional Do Not Track signals. Where applicable law requires recognition of legally valid opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, we will honor those signals to the extent required by law and supported by the technologies used on the Site.
4. How We Disclose Personal Information
We do not disclose personal information simply for others' independent use. We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to operate the business or provide the Services, including to:
• Website, hosting, scheduling, payment, email, analytics, video-conferencing, cloud-storage, program, and technology providers that perform services for us.
• Professional advisers, such as accountants, attorneys, insurers, or other advisers, when reasonably necessary.
• Government authorities, courts, regulators, or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, or the integrity of the Services.
• A successor or potential successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction.
• Other parties when you direct us to disclose information or give us consent to do so.
We do not state that we sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising unless our actual practices meet those legal definitions. If our practices change in a way that triggers additional notice or opt-out obligations, we will update this Policy and provide required choices.
5. Third-Party Services and Links
The Services may link to or integrate with third-party websites, platforms, or services. Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies and terms. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third parties that we do not control. We encourage you to review their policies before providing personal information.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide Services, maintain appropriate business and transaction records, comply with legal, tax, accounting, or contractual obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our rights. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential information through unsecured channels unless it is necessary for the service you have requested.
8. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights concerning your personal information. These may include rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, or to obtain information about how it is used or disclosed. Some rights are subject to exceptions and may not apply in every circumstance.
You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in the message. We may still send non-promotional communications relating to transactions, appointments, programs, or services you requested.
To ask about personal information we maintain about you, request a correction or deletion where applicable, or exercise another applicable privacy right, contact us at growingdeep@sarahpaasch.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
9. California Privacy Information
Growing Deep Inc. is based in California. California law requires operators of commercial websites that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to disclose categories of information collected, categories of third parties with whom information may be shared, how material changes to the policy are communicated, and the policy's effective date. This Policy is intended to provide those disclosures.
California residents may contact us using the email address below to ask what personal information we maintain about them or to request changes where applicable. Additional California privacy rights may apply if Growing Deep Inc. becomes subject to laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act based on the statutory applicability thresholds.
10. Children's Privacy
The Site and Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, technology, services, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will post the revised Policy on the Site and update the "Last updated" date above. If a change is material, we will provide any additional notice required by applicable law.

Drafting note: This policy has been customized from the privacy-policy template supplied for review. It is intended as a practical website draft, not legal advice. Because privacy obligations depend on actual site configuration, integrations, advertising tools, transaction practices, audience, and business size, Growing Deep Inc. should confirm that the listed practices match the live website before publication and obtain legal review if needed.
