Recording Notice

Effective date: [Effective Date]. Sites: AwakenedSky.com and DivineInfiniteBeing.com, operated by [Legal Entity Name].

Why we record

The School records some of its talks and calls so that members who could not attend can watch them later, and so that the teaching is kept. The law of several states, among them California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington, requires the consent of everyone taking part before a conversation is recorded. This notice tells every participant in advance what is recorded, who sees it and how to take part without appearing in a recording. Joining or staying in a recorded session after this notice and the recording notice on screen is your consent to being recorded as this page describes.

What is recorded

Each kind of session is listed here with our rule for recording it:

• The teachers' Zoom talks on AwakenedSky: recorded from start to end, including the questions at the end, and shared with AwakenedSky members in the member area.
• The monthly Inner Order call: [recorded and shared with members whose payments to the School are current / not recorded: the author decides].
• Initiations of the grades: not recorded, in person or by video, unless the student and the officiant both agree in writing before the rite.
• The Academy's onboarding call and other one-to-one calls: not recorded, unless both people agree at the start of the call.
• Member-hosted meetups and Astrology Socials: not recorded by the School. A host who wishes to record or photograph a gathering asks every person present first.

How you appear in a recording

A recording of a Zoom talk captures the speaker's video and voice, the shared screen, and the video, voice and display name of every participant who speaks or turns on a camera. Messages in the Zoom chat may be saved with the recording [confirm the Zoom setting]. Participants who prefer to stay out of a recording keep their camera and microphone off, change their display name to a first name or initials before joining, and send questions to the teacher in the chat or by email before the talk. Zoom shows its own notice when a recording starts, and a participant who does not consent may leave the session at any time and watch the recording later.

Who sees a recording

Recordings of the teachers' talks are available to AwakenedSky members while their membership is active, and recordings of School calls are available only to the members the call was for. We do not publish recordings of members on public pages or social networks without the written consent of every member who appears in the part we publish. Short extracts of a teacher speaking alone may be used to describe the talks to the public. Recordings are kept for as long as they serve the teaching [set a retention period], and they are stored with our video provider as our Privacy Policy describes.

Removing yourself from a recording

A participant who appears in a recording and wants their image, voice or name removed writes to [support email] within 30 days of the session, naming the session and the part where they appear. We cut, blur or mute that part, or remove the recording from the member area, within [14 days] of the request. After 30 days we still consider every request and act on it where we reasonably can.

No recording by participants

Participants may not record, photograph, screenshot or stream any talk, call, initiation or other session of the School, by any device or software, and may not share a joining link or a recording with anyone outside the session. Recordings made available to members are licensed for their personal study under our Digital Products License. A participant who records a session without permission may lose access to talks and calls, and may lose their membership.

Recordings by the Head Master

The Head Master's audio journals, his recordings of Divine Names and Latin pronunciations, and the videos of his ritual work are works of the School, recorded by him for the members and students who have access to them. They are licensed for personal study under our Digital Products License, and they may not be copied, shared or posted anywhere. Questions about recordings go to [support email].
