1. Privacy laws

The processing of your personal data is governed by the UK General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), as enacted by the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. The capacities in which we process data

In providing you with our services, we act as a controller of personal data (as defined by Article 4(7) GDPR) with respect to any processing for which we determine the purpose and means. 

This includes data that we obtain from you in order to facilitate the administration of our business relationship and the fulfilment of our contract with you. 

3. The purpose of this privacy notice is;

To inform you about our processing of your data as a controller, in accordance with the ‘transparency’ requirement of Article 13 GDPR.

4. The types of personal data we collect

• Identity Data including first name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, date of birth and gender;

• Contact Data including billing address, delivery or postal address, email address and telephone numbers;

• Financial Data including bank account and payment card details;

• Profile Data including your username and password, purchases or orders made by you, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses;

• Usage Data including information about how you use our website, products and services;

• Marketing and Communications Data including your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

• Personal history, opinions, preferences and requests;

• The terms and conditions of your contract with us for the provision of our services;

5. How we collect the personal data 

Data might be collected through:

• Electronic, written or verbal correspondence with you, or;

• Meetings in person.

Should we collect data relating to you from any other source, we shall inform you of that processing as soon as practicable.

6. Providing your personal data

We will tell you if providing some personal data is optional, including if we ask for your consent to process it. In all other cases, we need you to provide your personal data so we can provide professional services to you.

7. What we use your personal data for

Provision of professional services

• To register you as a new customer or client;

• To provide you with our professional yoga services at your request;

• As necessary to support the contract with you and to allow us to receive full payment for those services;

Business purposes

• As necessary for our own legitimate interests or those of other persons and organisations, subject to your rights and freedoms as a data subject;

• For surveys of client experience and quality of our services;


To comply with a legal obligation:

• When you exercise your rights under data protection law;

• For the establishment and defence of legal rights;

• To investigate complaints, legal claims and data protection incidents

• To notify about changes to our terms or privacy policy

8. The legal basis for processing

In providing you with professional services, we will process your personal data under Article 6 (1)(b) of the UK General Data Protection Regulations, on the legal basis that processing is necessary for the performance of a contract for the provision of our services, or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, or in order to fulfil your instructions during the execution of that contract.

In addition, we may process your personal data on the following legal bases;

• Consent: where you give your consent for the processing – Article 6 (1) (a);

• Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation - Article 6 (1)(c);

• Vital interests: the processing is necessary to protect someone’s life - Article 6 (1) (d);

• Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for an organisation’s legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third-party - Article 6 (1) (f). In such cases, the legitimate interest of the processor will be balanced against the rights and freedoms of the data subject to ensure no detriment is caused to the latter.

• With regard to photographic or video images captured by us in a professional capacity at an event attended by people with whom we do not have a contractual relationship, the data is processed on the legal basis of legitimate interest as described above. It is deemed by us to be impracticable and disproportionate to discharge the Article 13 transparency requirement with each individual at such events, but that this does not create a significantly adverse effect to the privacy rights and freedoms of such individuals. The use of such data for our business purposes is processed on the legal basis of legitimate interest as described above and, where applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of our contractual relationship with a client.

9. Sharing of your personal data

Subject to applicable data protection laws we may share your personal data with:

• Other organisations necessary for the provision of our services and who require your data in order to meet that requirement;

• Online platforms in accordance with the terms and conditions of our contractual 

relationship with a client or on the basis of their consent;

• Our legal and other professional advisors;

• Fraud prevention agencies, credit reference agencies, and debt collection agencies;

• Government bodies and agencies in the UK and overseas (e.g. HMRC) who may in turn share it with relevant overseas tax authorities and with regulators including the Information Commissioner's Office;

• Courts, to comply with legal requirements, and for the administration of justice;

• In an emergency or to otherwise protect your vital interests;

• To protect the security or integrity of our business operations and other clients;

• Payment systems and providers; and

• Anyone other party where we have your consent or as required by law

10. Transfer of personal data

We do not envisage that your data will be transferred for processing to any jurisdiction outside the UK. However, in the event that such transfers do occur, and where such processors are located in a country which is not deemed by the United Kingdom to have adequate privacy standards (as defined within the Data Protection Act 2018), the transfer will be subject to a legal instrument providing appropriate safeguards in accordance with Article 46 GDPR.

11. How long do we keep your data?

We will take steps to erase payment data held by us as soon as it is no longer required. Data relating to taxation will be kept for five years from the end of the tax year to which the data relates. Other information will be kept for a maximum period of three years from the date of the termination of our professional relationship or from the last date on which we provide services to you whichever is the earlier, but may be held for longer periods where any of the following apply:

• Retention in case of queries. We will retain your personal data as long as necessary to deal with any outstanding queries you may have;

• Retention in case of claims. We will retain your personal data for as long as you might legally bring claims against us or, in the event of such a claim, until that matter is complete. This includes data which relates to our professional services and indemnity insurance, and;

• Retention in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.

• The right to be informed about processing of your personal data;

• The right to have your personal data corrected if it is inaccurate and to have incomplete personal data completed;
