Iquitos, Loreto · Version 1.0 · 6 August 2026
You are about to send us a medication list, a psychiatric history and a cardiac history. So this page is written as answers rather than clauses, and it starts with the four questions people actually have.
The four answers most people want
Two people. Never the maestros.
The reviewing physician, who makes each medical decision, and your integration lead, who reads your file before your screening call and stays with you for a year afterwards. Nobody else on the team — not the founder, not the kitchen, not the boat crew, not administrative staff. The maestros are told what they need to work safely with a guest and nothing more; they never see medication lists or diagnoses.
Twelve months, unless you attend.
Enquiries and declined applications are deleted after twelve months. If you attend a retreat we hold your screening record for five years from your last integration call, which reflects the duty of care around a medical assessment and a year of aftercare. Financial records are kept as long as Peruvian tax law requires, separately from anything medical.
No. There is no list.
We do not run a newsletter, a drip sequence or a remarketing audience, and we never sell, rent or trade your details. You will hear from us once with an answer to what you asked. If you go quiet, we assume the answer is no and leave you alone.
Ask in one line.
Email support@eclmedia.agency and say so. We confirm within 30 days and delete everything we are not legally required to keep — and where something must be retained we will name it specifically rather than using the exception as a blanket refusal. You do not have to give a reason, and asking never affects an application in progress.
Who can see what
This is the section most people are actually here for, so it is the most specific one. These limits are enforced technically, not just written down.
| Role | Medical history | Contact & logistics |
|---|---|---|
| Reviewing physician | Full access — makes every medical decision | Yes |
| Your integration lead | Full access — before your call and for the year after | Yes |
| The maestros | Never — told only what is needed to work safely | No |
| Founder and admin team | No access | Names and dates only |
| Kitchen and property team | No access | Dietary needs only |
| A treating clinician, in an emergency | What they need to help you | Emergency contact |
| A lawful order | As legally required — and we tell you unless prohibited | As required |
And what we deliberately never record
Anything said in ceremonyNothing is recorded, transcribed or written down, by anyone, at any point.
Why you declined a medicineSkip Kambo or Bufo and no note is kept about the reason.
Photographs of guestsUnless you asked for them and agreed in writing.
Behavioural advertising dataThere are no advertising or remarketing pixels on this site.
Retention
So a later enquiry has context. Then deleted.
So a future application is read against the first and the same ground is not re-covered.
In case you return to a later week. Deleted immediately on request.
From your last integration call. Duty of care around a medical screening record.
As Peruvian tax law requires. Held separately from anything medical.
You can ask us to delete sooner at any point and we will, other than records we are legally required to retain — which we will identify to you specifically.
Everything else, briefly
Iquitos Ayahuasca Retreats operates a twelve guest retreat centre ninety minutes upriver from Iquitos, in Loreto, Peru. We are the data controller: we decide what is collected and why, and we are accountable for it. This policy covers this website and the application process behind it, not the sites of our sister houses in Peru, Cusco, Pisac or Costa Rica, which publish their own.
Almost everything we hold, you typed and sent deliberately. There is no contact form on this site and no account to create, so we collect far less passively than a typical booking site.
You can withdraw at any time. Doing so before a retreat means we cannot proceed, because we will not accept a guest whose medical history we are not permitted to read. A decision to decline an application is always explained in writing, never left as an unexplained no.
We are in Peru and our correspondence and storage providers are largely US-based, so information about you crosses borders under their standard contractual protections. Those providers process data on our behalf only; they are not permitted to use it for their own purposes, for analysis, or for training.
One detail specific to this place: medical files are not carried upriver on personal devices, and any paper generated during a week is destroyed at the end of it.
Only what is needed to serve the site and count roughly how many people read which pages. No advertising pixels, no behavioural profiles, no data sold to anyone. Given what people research before contacting us, that is the minimum decent standard rather than a feature. Block cookies in your browser and the site works normally.
We apply all of these to everyone regardless of where you live, because running two standards would be more work than simply doing the better one.
Email support@eclmedia.agency. We respond within 30 days and never ask why.
No system is perfectly secure and we will not claim otherwise. What we can say is that the surface is small by design: no accounts, no contact form, no stored card numbers, and a very short list of people with access.
Our retreats are for adults only and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us information, email us and we will delete it.
If we change anything material — who can read your file, how long we keep it, or where it is stored — we update the version and date at the top. Guests with an application in progress or an active integration year are told by email rather than left to notice. We will not quietly broaden what we do with your data and rely on you having missed it.
Questions, corrections, access and deletion requests all go to support@eclmedia.agency. A real person reads it and replies within 30 days, usually far sooner. If you want something removed, one line is enough.
This is a privacy policy written in plain language, not legal advice. If you need a formal statement for a legal or insurance purpose, write and we will provide one.
No charge to apply · reviewed within 48 hours
Two people see your medical history and nobody else. That is the whole reason we can ask you for it, and the reason we would rather you told us everything.
