Last updated 3 August 2026. Plain language, because the alternative helps no one.

What this is

toUnknown offers guided meditation courses rooted in living contemplative traditions. It is education and practice — not medical or psychological treatment. If you are unwell, in crisis, or under a clinician's care, speak with them before beginning intensive practice. Meditation can surface difficult material; please practise with care and stop if you need to.

Your account

We sign you in with a link sent to your email — there is no password to lose. Keep access to your inbox secure, since anyone holding it can reach your account. You may ask us to delete your account and everything attached to it at any time by writing to tounknown.com@gmail.com.

What we store, and why

• Your email address — so you can sign in and so your practice follows you between devices.
• Your practice record — which tracks you have sat, for how long, and which have opened. This is what makes progress persist; it is never sold, shared or used for advertising.
• Payment records — if you become a member, Stripe processes the payment and holds the card details. We only keep the customer reference and the date your membership runs to. We never see your card number.

Data lives in Supabase (Postgres) and on our own server. Audio is served only to signed-in members through short-lived links. We do not run advertising or third-party tracking.

Membership and dāna

The first course of every Path is free, and stays free. Membership opens the rest of the library. Subscriptions renew until cancelled and you can cancel any time — access continues to the end of the period you have paid for. One-time gifts are gifts, and are not refundable. If a subscription charge was a mistake, write to us and we will refund it; we would rather be fair than technically correct.

No one is turned away for money. If the cost is a barrier, write one honest paragraph to tounknown.com@gmail.com and we will open the library for you.

The recordings

The guided meditations, their texts and recordings remain the property of toUnknown and their teachers. They are for your own practice. Please do not redistribute, re-upload or resell them. The traditions themselves belong to no one — the recordings are simply our work.

Your rights

You may ask what we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask us to correct it, or ask us to erase it. One email is enough, and we will act within 30 days.
