We may use cookies, pixels, and analytics tools to collect information about how you use our website. This may include your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and interaction data.

We use cookies and similar technologies to personalize your experience and understand how our website is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share mobile phone numbers, SMS opt in data, or consent information with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
Service providers
We may share information with trusted vendors who help us deliver services, such as SMS and email delivery, customer support tools, scheduling tools, and analytics providers. These providers may only use information to perform services on our behalf.
Legal and safety
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of The Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of The Valley, our users, or others.
Business transfers
If The Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of The Valley is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. Any successor will be required to honor this Privacy Policy.
Third party sharing
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
SMS opt out
You can opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. After you send STOP, we will send a confirmation message and you will no longer receive SMS messages unless you opt back in.
Email opt out
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email.
Access and correction
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable law.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our services are not intended for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Church of Scientology of the Valley offers an SMS/text messaging program to provide event and lecture notifications, including confirmations, reminders (e.g., date, time, location for live interactive lectures on topics such as the power of the subconscious mind and Dianetics principles), and related updates to individuals who have expressly opted in.
How to Opt In: You may opt in by completing a reservation or sign-up form on our website (such as at https://thevalleydianetics.site/subconscious1 or similar event pages) and checking the box to consent to receive SMS notifications and alerts. By checking the box, you provide express written consent to receive recurring automated text messages at the mobile number you provide. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or service. Message and data rates may apply from your carrier.
Opt-Out and Management: You can opt out of receiving SMS messages at any time by replying "STOP" to any text message we send. You will receive a confirmation message indicating your opt-out has been processed. You may also reply "HELP" for assistance or contact us directly. After opting out, you will no longer receive SMS notifications from us (though you may still receive other communications via email or other means if you have consented separately). To re-opt in, you must complete the website form process again.
Message frequency varies based on your event reservations and upcoming lectures (typically 1–4 messages per event, and low overall volume). We do not send promotional marketing messages under this program—only informational notifications related to your reservations.
Data Security: We take reasonable technical, administrative, and physical measures to protect your personal information, including mobile phone numbers collected for SMS notifications, from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. This includes secure storage, encryption where appropriate, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Handling and Retention for SMS: Mobile phone numbers and related consent data collected for our SMS program are used solely for sending the notifications described above. We do not use this data for unrelated purposes without additional consent. We retain your mobile number and SMS consent records only as long as necessary to provide the service, fulfill legal obligations (e.g., compliance records), or resolve disputes—typically for the duration of your active participation plus a reasonable period thereafter (e.g., up to 2 years after last interaction or opt-out). After that, we securely delete or anonymize the data where possible.
Sharing of Mobile Information: We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or SMS consent data with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Your mobile information is shared only as necessary to deliver our SMS notifications, such as with trusted service providers (e.g., messaging platforms like GoHighLevel or similar carriers/aggregators) who assist in sending and managing text messages on our behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to use your data only for the limited purpose of providing services to us and to protect it in accordance with applicable laws.
We may also disclose mobile information if required by law, to protect our rights, comply with legal processes, prevent fraud, or respond to government requests. Aggregated, non-identifiable data (e.g., overall engagement stats) may be shared for analytical purposes, but never in a way that identifies you personally.
For more on general data sharing, see our sections on Disclosure and Sharing above.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted with a new Last Updated date.
