1. Information We Collect


We collect information you voluntarily provide to us, including:

  • Contact form submissions: full name, email address, subject, and message content
  • Program enrollment and payment information: name and payment details, which may be processed through our third-party payment processor, Stripe, taken directly by Charlotte Meditation via credit card, or submitted by check.

We do not directly collect sensitive personal information beyond what is voluntarily submitted through these forms.


Please do not send sensitive medical or health information through our website contact forms.


2. Minors and Youth Programs


Our programs for teens and youth, including Youth Meditation and Mindfulness Meditation for Parents and Teens, are offered through parents, guardians, and school partners. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Any information submitted through our contact forms regarding a minor is provided by a parent, guardian, or authorized school representative on the minor's behalf.


If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us directly without parental or guardian involvement, please contact us at info@charlottemeditation.com so we can address it.

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to inquiries and schedule sessions
  • Process payments for programs and services
  • Process donations to Youth Meditation
  • Communicate with you about programs, scheduling, or account matters
  • Improve our services and website


4. Third-Party Service Providers


We use the following third-party services to operate our business:

  • Stripe for payment processing of program fees. Stripe's handling of your payment information is governed by Stripe's own privacy policy.

If you pay by credit card directly with Charlotte Meditation or by check, that payment information is handled directly by us rather than through Stripe.
