Privacy & Legal Statement

Any information you give to The Institute for The Work of Byron Katie and all information collected at this site will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, reused, rented, loaned, or otherwise disclosed.

A more detailed explanation about how we safeguard your personal information is described below. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let us know.

We do not collect any personal information from users who browse our web site. Users browse anonymously. We do analyze our web site logs to collect aggregate data—such as the number of hits per page—and use this data to improve the value of the materials available on our web site. We also collect information voluntarily given to us by our registered customers on certain protected registration or subscription areas of the site as well as the web store. This data is used for internal purposes only. If you decide to join the community, you accept responsibility for your profile information.

Our web site logs are not personally identifiable, and we make no attempt to link them with the individuals that actually browse the site. We also track content usage and traffic on the site by using “cookies,” a feature of your browser. There is no personal data collected by the cookies. Instead, these software tags record information such as a user’s browser type and the specific sections that a user visited while on our site. Cookies don't tell us who you are, your e-mail address, or anything personal. You can choose, with your browser, to not accept cookies. If you choose not to accept cookies, you may not be able to view all areas of our web site.

Some areas of our web site may be password-protected. In other select areas, which may include free downloads, newsletter or other offers, we may request that you provide us with basic information before granting you access to the area. If you choose not to register and provide this information, you can still use most of this site. However, you will not be able to access these areas that require registration.

Please note that anything you post on our Discussion Forums at ITW's Work Community Center is not protected. In addition, this site may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.

Privacy of our e-mail lists:

We maintain several e-mail lists to keep interested parties informed about Byron Katie, her events, products, and more. Individuals must voluntarily request to join our mailing lists by signing up through a form or other means on our web site or providing us with their e-mail address at an event, seminar, direct mail response or other channel. We do not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease the addresses on our list to anyone.

You can request to no longer receive e-mail from us. To opt out of our e-mail list, reply to one of our e-mails and request to be removed or send an e-mail to webmaster@thework.com.
