Privacy Policy
At Sovereign Spirit, it is my commitment to you that I will be respectful of the data you share with me and I would never sell your information to other companies or businesses for marketing purposes; trust and confidence are key to everything in my work. This Privacy Policy is a container that gives a clear shape to what my picture of online integrity looks like: when and why I collect your personal information, how it is used, and the limited conditions under which I might disclose it to others, as well as how I keep it secure.

Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails with regular content, program offerings, products for sale, and other information related to Sovereign Spirit or Theresa Pridemore. Please know that we are intentional about everything that is sent out and endeavor to deliver content that is appropriate for what you subscribed for and isn’t going to overpower your inbox.
We use a third-party provider, ActiveCampaign, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see ActiveCampaign’s policies. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing soulteam@sovereignspirit.biz.
