Terms & Privacy

[Beacons Global, LLC] ("Beacons Global," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at beaconsglobal.com and any related services, member consoles, or digital content offerings (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and protect it, with whom we share it, and the choices available to you.

By using the Services you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services. This policy is incorporated into our Terms of Use.

We use the personal information we collect to:

• Create, maintain, and secure your account.
• Deliver and personalize Services, including generating your profile results and making purchased or gifted digital content available to you.
• Process transactions and fulfill purchases.
• Send transactional emails, such as sign-in links, purchase receipts, and account notifications.
• Send marketing communications about Beacons Global offerings where you have given consent or where permitted by applicable law, with an opt-out available in every message.
• Respond to your questions, requests, and support inquiries.
• Monitor and improve the security, integrity, and performance of the Services.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your questionnaire responses or profile results for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

To the extent applicable law requires a legal basis for processing your personal information, we rely on:

• Contract — processing necessary to provide the Services you have requested, including account creation, quiz delivery, and content fulfillment.
• Legitimate interests — operating, securing, and improving our Services, and communicating about related offerings, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent — for optional features such as marketing emails and waitlist enrollment, where required by law. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligation — processing required to comply with applicable laws or regulations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — companies that help us operate the Services, including payment processing, transactional email delivery, cloud database hosting, and email marketing. These providers are authorized to use your information only as needed to perform services on our behalf and are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations.
• Sign-in partner — Google, when you choose Google sign-in. Their use of information is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• Legal requirements — when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by applicable law, regulation, court order, or governmental authority.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, provided the receiving party agrees to honor this Privacy Policy.

Community features within the Services may display your public handle (not your email address) to other members. You control whether you set a handle in your profile.

We use a minimal set of cookies and browser storage:

• Authentication cookie — a secure, HTTP-only session cookie set by our sign-in system to keep you logged in. This cookie is essential and cannot be disabled without preventing you from signing in.
• Browser storage — we use your browser's local storage and session storage to temporarily preserve your questionnaire progress on your device before you create an account. This data is stored entirely on your device, not on our servers, until you sign in.

We do not place third-party advertising cookies or behavioral analytics tracking cookies on this site. No cross-site tracking technologies are used.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Server log data is retained for a shorter period sufficient for security purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by contacting us at the address below.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no security measure is perfect, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials used to access your account.

You may exercise the following rights by contacting us at the address below:

• Access and portability — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction — request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion — request deletion of your personal information and account, subject to certain legal or contractual limitations.
• Marketing opt-out — unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any such message, or by contacting us directly.
• Google account — you may review or revoke Beacons Global's access to your Google account at any time through your Google account settings.

We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframe required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Depending on the state in which you reside, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information, including the right to know what categories of personal information are collected, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share personal information as defined under state law), the right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights, and the right to appeal a denial of your privacy request.

[Placeholder: If [Beacons Global, LLC] has a California nexus or otherwise determines that the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) applies, a California-specific addendum should be inserted here with required disclosures. Confirm with legal counsel.]

To exercise any applicable state privacy rights, contact us using the information in the Contact section below.

The Services are operated in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using the Services, you consent to such transfer and processing. [Beacons Global, LLC] does not specifically target residents of the European Union or United Kingdom; if you are located in those regions and have questions about applicable rights, please contact us.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date. For material changes, we will provide notice as required by applicable law. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of a revised policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and [Beacons Global, LLC] ("Beacons Global," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the website at beaconsglobal.com and all related Services (as defined below). By accessing or using the Services in any way, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher), that you have read and understood these Terms, and that you agree to be bound by them.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Services. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time; material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

Beacons Global provides a personal and professional development platform that includes a reflective profile questionnaire, a member console for managing your profile and accessing personalized content, downloadable digital audio content (including guided meditations), a digital content library, and optional community features that allow members to connect based on shared interests and profile results.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We will endeavor to provide reasonable notice of material changes.

The content, profile results, guided meditations, and all other materials available through the Services are provided for personal growth and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Services constitutes or should be construed as medical advice, mental health treatment, psychological therapy, legal advice, financial advice, or any other form of professional advice.

Profile results generated through the Services are interpretive in nature and are intended to support personal reflection, not to diagnose, treat, or address any medical or psychological condition. If you have any concerns about your health, mental well-being, financial situation, or legal matters, please consult a qualified professional.

To access certain features of the Services, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your account information updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You may not create more than one account or create an account on behalf of another person without authorization.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or created a risk to the security or integrity of the Services.

You agree that you will not, in connection with the Services:

• Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right.
• Post or transmit harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise harmful content.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Services or related systems.
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access, collect, or index any content from the Services without our prior written consent.
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services.
• Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise extract the source code or internal logic of any part of the Services.
• Use the Services to transmit unsolicited commercial communications.

The profile questionnaire is a reflective tool designed to offer interpretive guidance. Your results represent one perspective on patterns relevant to your personal development and are not intended to be definitive, permanent, or diagnostic. We may update or refine our offerings, questionnaire structure, or content recommendations over time, and we make no representation that any particular outcome, experience, or result will be available indefinitely.

Certain digital content is available for purchase. Prices are displayed at the time of checkout and are subject to change. All payments are processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe, and are subject to Stripe's terms of service in addition to these Terms.

[Refund policy — confirm with legal counsel. Example: Because our products are digital goods delivered immediately upon purchase, all sales are generally final and non-refundable unless required by applicable law. If you believe you were charged in error, please contact us within 14 days of the transaction.]

All content on the Services, including text, graphics, logos, audio files, software, and the overall design and organization of the site, is owned by or licensed to [Beacons Global, LLC] and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership interest in our intellectual property to you.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services and to download purchased digital content for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works of, or otherwise exploit any content from the Services beyond this personal use license without our prior written consent.

You retain ownership of any profile text, biography, or other personal content you submit through the Services ("Your Content"). By submitting Your Content, you grant [Beacons Global, LLC] a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, display, and use Your Content solely as necessary to operate and provide the Services to you and, where applicable, to other members in community features (using your chosen display handle, not your email address).

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to submit Your Content and that Your Content does not infringe any third-party right or violate any applicable law.

The Services integrate with third-party services including Google (for sign-in) and Stripe (for payment processing). Your use of these integrations is subject to the respective third party's terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of any third-party service.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ANY ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, [BEACONS GLOBAL, LLC] AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless [Beacons Global, LLC] and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any rights of a third party, or Your Content.

You may stop using the Services and close your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if required for security, legal, or operational reasons.

Upon termination, your license to use the Services ends. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law — will survive.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [State], United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [State] for the resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services.

[Arbitration clause — confirm with legal counsel whether to include mandatory arbitration and class-action waiver language, which is common for consumer-facing digital services.]

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Revised Terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date. For material changes, we will provide notice as required by applicable law or, where possible, by email to your registered address. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using the Services.
