By Order of Tea values privacy and respects the personal information shared by participants, guests, collaborators, and visitors across our platforms, programmes, tea flights, and events. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when engaging with Order of Tea online and/or in person.
Information We May Collect
We may collect information such as names, email addresses, contact details, programme preferences, booking information, participation records, and communication history when individuals express interest, register, attend events, or contact us through our platforms.
Participation and Recordings
Certain sessions, tea flights, discussions, podcasts, photographs, or recordings may be documented for educational, creative, promotional, or archival purposes. Where reasonably possible, participants will be informed beforehand, and participation may imply consent unless otherwise communicated.
How Information is Used
Information collected may be used to manage bookings, organise programmes, communicate updates, improve experiences, coordinate participation, respond to enquiries, and share relevant information relating to Order of Tea activities and opportunities.
Online Platforms and Discord
Some programmes operate through online platforms such as Discord and other digital communication tools. Participants are encouraged to use these responsibly and understand that third-party platforms may also operate under their own separate privacy policies and terms.
Sharing Information
Order of Tea does not intentionally sell personal information to third parties. Information may only be shared where reasonably necessary for programme delivery, event organisation, legal obligations, safety purposes, or collaboration arrangements directly related to Order of Tea activities.
Tea Flights and In-Person Experiences
During tea flights, workshops, or gatherings, photographs, videos, comments, and shared experiences may occasionally be captured. These may later appear in promotional materials, social platforms, podcast discussions, or educational content connected to Order of Tea.
Data Protection and Security
Reasonable efforts are made to store and manage information responsibly. While no digital platform can guarantee complete security, Order of Tea aims to maintain appropriate practices to reduce unauthorised access, misuse, loss, or unnecessary disclosure of information.
Participant Responsibility
Participants are encouraged to protect their own personal information and behave respectfully within discussions, online communities, and events. Order of Tea cannot accept responsibility for information voluntarily shared publicly by participants during conversations or activities.
Updates and Changes
This Privacy Policy may occasionally be updated, revised, or adjusted to reflect operational, legal, or organisational changes. Continued participation in programmes, channels, tea flights, or activities may indicate acceptance of the most recent version available.
Contact and Enquiries
Questions relating to privacy, participation, recordings, data handling, or related concerns may be directed through the Order of Tea contact page. We aim to approach enquiries thoughtfully, respectfully, and with reasonable transparency wherever possible.
