Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: July 2026

By using itstartswithusfoundation.com, purchasing a product, booking a consultation, or donating, you agree to these Terms. This Site is operated by It Starts With Us Foundation, International, a California 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 93-4736970), including its Calm & Centered program.

Digital Products Purchases (like the Coloring & Journal Book and Daily Sanctuary Toolkit) grant you a personal-use license only — not ownership. Files may not be resold or redistributed. No refunds

Our consultations and programs are educational wellness sessions — coloring, journaling, breathwork, and reflection. They are not medical care, therapy, or mental health treatment, and we are not licensed medical or mental health providers. If you're in crisis, please contact a licensed professional or call/text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

We ask for at least 72 hours' advance notice to cancel or reschedule any consultation.

If you cancel or reschedule with 72+ hours' notice:

• You may reschedule to a new date/time at no charge, or

• Request a refund, which will be processed within [5-10] business days.

If you cancel or reschedule with less than 72 hours' notice:

• Your session fee is non-refundable.

• We're happy to offer a one-time courtesy reschedule at our discretion, but this isn't guaranteed.

No-shows (missing your scheduled session without any notice) are treated the same as a late cancellation — non-refundable, with rescheduling offered only at our discretion.

How to cancel or reschedule:
Email us at itstartswithusfoundation@sanctuarypjdesigns.com, or use the reschedule/cancel link in your booking confirmation, as far in advance as possible.

We understand emergencies happen. If something unexpected comes up, reach out — we'll always try to work with you.

Donations are generally tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law; consult your tax advisor for your specific situation. Funds support our charitable mission, and we retain discretion over their allocation.

Intellectual Property All Site content, branding, and materials belong to It Starts With Us Foundation, International and may not be reproduced or redistributed without permission.

Payments are processed by third parties (e.g., Squarespace Payments, Stripe, PayPal), subject to their own terms.

No Warranties / Limited Liability The Site and our products/services are provided "as is." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the past 12 months.

Governing Law These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.

We may update these Terms at any time; continued use of the Site means you accept the changes.

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2026

It Starts With Us Foundation, International ("we," "us," or "the Foundation"), including its Calm & Centered program, operates itstartswithusfoundation.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information.

Information you give us directly:

• Name, email address, and mailing address (e.g., when you donate, purchase a product, book a consultation, or contact us)

• Payment information (processed securely by our third-party payment processors — we do not store your full card details)

• Information you share during a consultation or through a contact form

• Email address, if you sign up for our mailing list or newsletter

Information collected automatically:

• IP address, browser type, device type, and general location (city/region level)

• Pages visited, time on Site, and referring website, via cookies and similar tracking technologies

• Analytics data (e.g., through Google Analytics or Squarespace's built-in analytics), used to understand how visitors use our Site

We use the information we collect to:

• Process donations, purchases, and consultation bookings

• Deliver digital products (e.g., emailing you a download link)

• Communicate with you about your order, booking, or inquiry

• Send newsletters or updates, if you've opted in

• Improve our Site, programs, and offerings

• Comply with legal and tax obligations (e.g., donation receipts)

• Advertise our nonprofit's mission through programs like Google Ad Grants, using aggregated, non-identifying analytics

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We share information only with:

• Payment processors (such as Squarespace Payments, Stripe, or PayPal) to process donations and purchases

• Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., Squarespace as our website host, email service providers)

• Legal authorities, if required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Foundation, our users, or the public

• In connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of assets, in which case your information may be transferred as part of that transaction

Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies (via Squarespace and any connected analytics or advertising tools, such as Google Analytics or Google Ad Grants tracking) to understand Site usage and improve your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations (such as donation records for tax purposes).

• Email preferences: You may unsubscribe from our newsletter or marketing emails at any time using the link in any email we send.

• Access/deletion requests: You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and legitimate business requirements (e.g., we may need to retain donation records for tax purposes).

• California residents: Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents may have additional rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to request deletion. Contact us using the information below to make such a request.

While some of our programs serve girls under 18, our Site itself is not directed at collecting personal information from children under 13 without parental involvement. Program registration for minors is handled through a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without appropriate parental consent, please contact us so we can remove it.

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., social media, payment processors). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information, including relying on the security measures of our website host (Squarespace) and payment processors. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
