Privacy Policy | Yoga and Therapy

1. Introduction

As of 25th May 2018, all businesses in the EU will be required to adhere to new data protection laws, known as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). These laws govern how businesses collect, store and process individual’s personal data, and all such individuals (also known as a ‘data subject’) will need to give explicit consent if their data is to be collected, stored and processed.

Under the regulation, you have the right to request copies of all data held by me about you, as well as the right to ‘be forgotten’, i.e. all your data would be erased. Additional information may be found at www.eugdpr.org.

2. Customer Data

I collect and store customer and website visitor data purely for the purposes of communicating relevant essential information, for example, to send information regarding appointments via telephone or email. I may also from time to time send emails with information I believe may be of interest to you (if you have specifically subscribed to those mailing lists).

The only data I will collect and store (if provided), is the following:

Name
Address
Telephone numbers
Email address(es)
History of appointments (dates and details of therapies and classes - where in relation to any of the services you have purchased)

Where consent is supplied for me to communicate with you via email, I will add your name and/or email address to my email marketing system. I do not, under any circumstances, share any other data with third parties.

3. Third party sites, cookies and social media

Other data may also be collected via my website and social media pages, in the form of:

Customer reviews: these may be copied to be used on our social media pages or website
Comments, likes and tweets and other interactions to our social media posts
Web browsing cookies: these are files which are stored on your computer and contain information about your browsing activity on this website. The website will ask you to approve your consent to use cookies. These are used purely to enhance your experience of using the site and no personal data is used from them. You will have the option to personalise or disable cookies during your visit to the website, if you wish. This may affect certain content from loading on the site.

Social media posts, reviews and comments etc. will occasionally be used for promotional purposes, for example by sharing on my social media pages, and they will only show the name of the account to which they are related (i.e. the account that posted); they will not contain any contact information that I would otherwise only keep on file for the purposes described in section 2 above.

4. Summary

Data privacy is extremely important to me and I believe all individuals have the right to specify who has access to their data, and how it is processed. I obtain explicit consent from all customers and subscribers before storing and using their data for any purpose. Once consent is approved, I will only use the data for internal business functions and for communicating information which I believe will be of importance or interest to the recipient.

We will not send any email communications, nor store personal details, for any individual who:

is not a customer

has not subscribed to one of my mailing lists

has not contacted me directly (via email, this website, or social media) and requires a response

For any further information on this policy, or to request copies or deletion of data, please contact me.
