Privacy Policy

When you inquire about a retreat, join a waitlist, or reserve a place, we collect the details you choose to give us: your name, email address, phone number, the season you have in mind, dietary or mobility notes, and anything you write to us in your message.

If you reserve a place, we also hold booking details such as your full name as it appears on your passport, room preference, and roommate requests. Payments are handled by our payment providers — we never see or store your full card details.

Like most websites, we may collect basic technical information such as pages visited and general location, used only to understand how the site is used.

To answer your inquiry, hold your place, and send the practical details of your week — the travel letter, packing notes, itinerary, and any updates before you arrive.

To prepare the house for you: dietary needs shared with our kitchen, mobility notes shared with our hosts, roommate requests honoured where we can.

To write to you occasionally about upcoming seasons, if you have asked us to. Every letter carries a way to step off the list.

Only the small team who hosts Selah, and the trusted partners who help us run it — our payment processor, email provider, and the property and drivers hosting your week. They receive only what they need, and nothing more.

We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for advertising.

Inquiry details are kept while the conversation is open and for a reasonable time after, in case you return to us in a later season. Booking and payment records are kept as long as required for accounting and legal purposes.

You may ask us to delete your information at any time, and we will, unless we are required to keep it.

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask for a correction, ask for a copy, or ask us to erase it. Write to carolyn@selahmethod.com and we will respond personally.

You can unsubscribe from our letters at any time using the link at the foot of any email.

We use only the cookies needed for the site to work and for simple, aggregate analytics. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can clear or block cookies through your browser at any time.

If this policy changes, we will update the date below. For anything at all — a question, a request, a concern — write to carolyn@selahmethod.com.
