2. Our Commitment to Confidentiality

The Yogi Compass adheres strictly to the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics — the globally recognised standard for professional coaching conduct.

Your coaching conversations, goals, reflections, and personal context are held in the strictest confidence.

This means that nothing you share within the coaching relationship — whether in sessions, through the portal, or in written communications — will be disclosed to any third party without your explicit prior consent, except where required by law or agreed as part of a corporate or partner arrangement at the outset of your engagement.
