Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

Your privacy matters.

This Privacy Policy explains what information DavidBurch.com collects, why we collect it, how we use it, when service providers may receive it, and what choices you have.

My general approach is simple:

I want the information necessary to provide your courses, memberships, purchases, communications, and customer service. I do not want personal information I do not need.

1. Who Is Responsible for Your Information?

DavidBurch.com is operated by:

David Burch
[LEGAL BUSINESS NAME, IF APPLICABLE]
Clovis, New Mexico, United States
Email: [BUSINESS EMAIL]

In this policy, “DavidBurch.com,” “David Burch,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the person or business operating this website.

Third-party companies help us provide parts of the service, but DavidBurch.com remains your primary point of contact regarding our use of your personal information.

2. Information We May Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with DavidBurch.com.

Information You Provide Directly

You may provide information such as:

  • your name
  • email address
  • mailing or billing information
  • account login information
  • course or membership enrollments
  • purchase history
  • messages you send to us
  • questions submitted during classes or through the website
  • survey or feedback responses
  • testimonials you voluntarily provide
  • other information you choose to share

Please do not provide sensitive information unless it is reasonably necessary for your communication with us.

3. Payment Information

When you make a purchase, payment information is generally collected and processed by a third-party payment processor rather than directly by DavidBurch.com.

Depending on the payment method used, the processor may collect information such as:

  • payment-card number
  • expiration date
  • billing address
  • security code
  • transaction information

DavidBurch.com may receive transaction information such as the amount paid, transaction status, purchase date, and limited payment-method information.

We generally do not receive or store your complete payment-card number.

4. Account and Course Information

If you create an account or enroll in a program, our website or course platform may maintain information including:

  • your name
  • email address
  • account identifier
  • courses or memberships you have purchased
  • enrollment dates
  • progress through course material
  • login or access activity
  • completed lessons
  • purchases and renewals
  • account preferences

We use this information to provide the service you requested and administer your account.

5. Communications

If you contact us, we may keep the communication and information necessary to respond.

This can include:

  • email correspondence
  • support requests
  • questions about classes
  • billing questions
  • cancellation requests
  • feedback
  • other customer-service communications

We may retain those communications when reasonably necessary for customer service, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, security, or legal compliance.

6. Health and Wellness Information You Voluntarily Share

DavidBurch.com is not a healthcare provider and does not maintain medical records in the ordinary course of business.

However, people sometimes voluntarily tell an instructor about an injury, medical condition, disability, surgery, balance concern, medication effect, or other health-related circumstance when asking about participation.

For example, you might ask whether a seated version of an exercise is available after surgery.

If you voluntarily provide health or wellness information, we may use it to:

  • respond to your question
  • suggest general modifications
  • recommend that you seek appropriate professional advice
  • address a safety concern

Please share only the information reasonably necessary for your question.

Do not use ordinary email, class chat, or community areas to send detailed medical records or highly sensitive medical information.

Information you provide to DavidBurch.com does not become a medical record merely because it concerns your health.

7. Live Classes and Video Conferencing

Live programs may use services such as Zoom or another video-conferencing provider.

Depending on how you participate, the service provider may process information such as:

  • your displayed name
  • email address
  • IP address
  • device information
  • audio
  • video
  • chat messages
  • meeting participation information

You may ordinarily participate with your camera off unless a particular program states otherwise.

Please avoid sharing sensitive personal or medical information in a group class.

The video-conferencing provider also maintains its own privacy practices.

8. Recorded Classes

Some live sessions may be recorded so members can watch replays.

Our preference is to record the instructor and instructional content rather than participants.

If a session may be recorded, participants will be informed.

If you do not want your image or voice captured, keep your camera and microphone off during recorded portions.

If we intend to feature a participant’s image, voice, story, testimonial, or contribution publicly rather than merely incidentally in a class recording, we may seek additional permission where appropriate.

9. Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, DavidBurch.com and the services that operate it may automatically receive technical information when you visit.

This may include:

  • IP address
  • browser type
  • operating system
  • device type
  • approximate geographic region derived from IP address
  • pages visited
  • referring page or website
  • date and time of access
  • time spent on pages
  • login activity
  • diagnostic information
  • cookie or similar identifiers

This information may be used to operate the website, secure accounts, understand how the site is used, troubleshoot problems, and improve our services.

More information appears in our Cookie Policy.

10. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

  • create and maintain accounts
  • provide courses and memberships
  • process and document purchases
  • provide live and recorded programs
  • respond to questions
  • provide customer support
  • administer cancellations and refunds
  • send transactional messages
  • send marketing communications when permitted
  • maintain records
  • prevent fraud and misuse
  • secure our website and accounts
  • troubleshoot technical problems
  • understand how people use the website
  • improve courses and services
  • comply with legal obligations
  • establish, exercise, or defend legal rights

We do not use personal information for purposes materially different from those described here without an appropriate basis for doing so.

11. Transactional Emails

If you purchase a product, create an account, enroll in a course, or maintain a membership, we may send communications necessary to provide that service.

Examples include:

  • receipts
  • account messages
  • password-reset emails
  • course-access information
  • class links
  • scheduling information
  • renewal notices
  • billing notices
  • cancellation confirmations
  • important changes affecting a service you purchased

These are service communications rather than marketing messages.

12. Marketing Emails

If you subscribe to an email list or otherwise agree to receive marketing communications, we may send information about:

  • classes
  • courses
  • books
  • memberships
  • events
  • articles
  • videos
  • new programs
  • related educational material

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link contained in the message.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not necessarily prevent transactional messages about an account or purchase you still maintain.

13. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information as a Business Model

DavidBurch.com does not operate as a data broker and does not sell customer lists as a business model.

We do not sell your name, email address, telephone number, or health-related information to third parties for their independent direct-marketing use.

Certain privacy laws define words such as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than ordinary conversation does. If our use of analytics or advertising technologies ever falls within one of those legal definitions, we will provide any notice or choice required by applicable law.

14. Service Providers

We use other companies to provide services that help operate DavidBurch.com.

Depending on the services you use, these providers may include companies that perform:

  • website hosting
  • learning-management and course delivery
  • payment processing
  • email delivery
  • video conferencing
  • data storage
  • security
  • customer support
  • analytics
  • other technical functions

These companies may process personal information as necessary to provide their services.

Where appropriate, we expect service providers to handle information consistently with their contractual and legal obligations.

15. Current Major Service Providers

New Zenler

Our website, course delivery, memberships, account management, and related functions may be provided through the New Zenler platform. New Zenler may process information necessary to provide those functions.

Payment Processors

Payments may be processed through services such as Stripe or another payment provider made available through our platform. The payment processor receives the financial information needed to complete your transaction.

Zoom

Live online classes may be delivered through Zoom. Zoom processes meeting-related information according to its own privacy practices.

Email and Communication Providers

We may use an email or course-platform provider to deliver transactional and marketing messages.

The exact technology used by DavidBurch.com may change over time as services are added, replaced, or discontinued. We will update this policy when a change materially affects how personal information is handled.

16. Third-Party Websites and Embedded Content

Our website may contain links to or content provided by third parties, such as:

  • YouTube
  • Amazon
  • social-media platforms
  • video players
  • payment services
  • other websites

When you interact with a third-party service, that company’s privacy policy may apply.

We do not control independent third-party websites merely because we link to them.

17. Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • comply with applicable law
  • respond to lawful legal process
  • protect our legal rights
  • prevent fraud or misuse
  • investigate security incidents
  • protect the safety of a person where appropriate
  • respond to a legitimate government or law-enforcement request

We will not voluntarily disclose personal information to government authorities simply because it has been requested informally when legal process is required.

18. Business Changes

If DavidBurch.com or the business operating it is sold, merged, reorganized, or transferred, information associated with the business may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Any successor receiving personal information would remain subject to applicable privacy obligations.

19. Data Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for legitimate business and legal needs.

Retention periods can differ depending upon the information.

For example, we may retain:

  • purchase and tax records as required for financial recordkeeping
  • membership records while an account is active and for a reasonable period afterward
  • customer-service correspondence when necessary to document how an issue was resolved
  • consent and cancellation records when needed to document a transaction
  • marketing preferences so we can honor unsubscribe requests
  • security logs for a limited period appropriate to their purpose

We may delete, anonymize, or aggregate information when it is no longer reasonably necessary.

20. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the information we handle.

We also rely on established service providers for functions such as payment processing, account authentication, hosting, and secure data transmission.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

You can help protect your account by:

  • using a strong password
  • not reusing passwords across services
  • protecting access to your email account
  • contacting us if you believe your DavidBurch.com account has been compromised

21. Children

DavidBurch.com is primarily intended for adults.

We do not knowingly operate the site for the purpose of collecting personal information directly from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected in circumstances requiring parental consent and appropriate consent was not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to address the information.

Parents and guardians should supervise minors using wellness or movement material.

22. Your Choices

Depending on your relationship with us, you can generally:

  • unsubscribe from marketing email
  • update certain account information
  • cancel an automatically renewing membership
  • change browser cookie settings
  • request correction of inaccurate information we control
  • contact us with a privacy question or request

Some information may need to be retained despite a deletion request when necessary to comply with law, maintain legitimate transaction records, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, or exercise legal rights.

23. Privacy Rights Under Applicable Law

Depending on where you live, privacy law may give you additional rights concerning your personal information.

Those rights may include the ability to request:

  • access
  • correction
  • deletion
  • a copy of certain information
  • information about disclosures or processing
  • withdrawal of consent where processing relies on consent
  • an opt-out from certain forms of data use

Not every privacy law applies to every small business or every consumer.

However, if you submit a reasonable privacy request, we will evaluate it in good faith even when a particular statutory framework does not apply.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

24. International Visitors

DavidBurch.com is operated from the United States.

If you access the service from another country, information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

Privacy laws differ between jurisdictions.

Where applicable law gives an international user mandatory rights regarding the processing or transfer of personal information, those rights are not eliminated by this policy.

25. Do Not Track and Browser Privacy Signals

Web browsers and privacy tools may provide “Do Not Track,” Global Privacy Control, or other preference signals.

Whether and how DavidBurch.com can respond to such signals depends in part on the website platform and technologies in use.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a particular browser-based privacy signal, we will make reasonable efforts to comply.

You can also use the cookie and privacy controls available through your browser and any controls made available on our website.

26. Cookies and Similar Technologies

DavidBurch.com uses cookies and related technologies necessary to operate functions such as:

  • account login
  • security
  • checkout
  • preferences
  • course access
  • website operation

We may also use analytics or similar technologies to understand website activity.

For details, see our Cookie Policy.

27. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, providers, technology, or legal requirements change.

The current version will be posted on DavidBurch.com and identified by its “Last updated” date.

If a change materially affects how we use information we have already collected, we will provide additional notice when appropriate or legally required.
