This site is maintained by Chad Bennett in support of Mitra — a contemplative practice and spiritual mentorship offering.
Email addresses: When you sign up for Mitra Circle, subscribe to Moments of Mitra, or join our mailing list, we collect your email address through MailChimp. We use this to send you what you've asked for — practice invitations, teachings, and updates about Mitra offerings.
Site usage data: We use Google Analytics to understand how people use this site — which pages are visited, how long people stay, where visitors come from. This helps us know what's useful and what isn't. Google Analytics collects standard web data: IP addresses (anonymized), browser type, device information, and pages viewed.
Your email address goes into our MailChimp list. We send:
We don't sell your information. We don't share it with anyone except the tools we use to run this work (MailChimp for email, Google Analytics for site metrics).
The site usage data helps us see what's working — whether people are finding what they need, which teachings land, where the site might be confusing.
Unsubscribe: Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. Use it whenever you'd like to stop receiving emails.
Email preferences: MailChimp lets you update your subscription preferences — you can choose which kinds of emails you want to receive.
Analytics opt-out: Most browsers let you block or limit tracking. You can also use Google's opt-out browser add-on.
Your email lives in MailChimp's systems. Google Analytics data lives in Google's systems. Both companies maintain their own security practices and comply with applicable privacy regulations.
We retain your email address as long as you're subscribed. If you unsubscribe, MailChimp removes you from active lists but may retain records for compliance purposes.
Google Analytics uses cookies to track site usage. These are small files stored in your browser that help Google recognize return visits and understand how you navigate the site.
We don't use cookies for advertising or tracking across other websites.
If we make meaningful changes to how we handle your information, we'll update this page and note the date at the top.
If you have questions about privacy, data use, or anything else related to this site, contact Chad.
This policy describes current practices as of March 2026. We're not lawyers, and this isn't legal advice — it's a straightforward account of what we do with the information we collect.
