Privacy Statement

SimplyYoga Privacy Policy

I respect and take seriously your privacy. SimplyYoga will never share your personal details with anyone else without your consent. This privacy policy explains how any personal information collected about you when you use the website or book a yoga class, workshop or retreat is processed. Do get in touch if you have any queries.

I have a lawful basis to obtain your information in order to offer you the best service possible, to ensure that we I safely meet your needs in classes, workshops and online, and to offer the best possible advice or modifications that may be necessary to you.

Any information you provide online will be kept confidential and will not be made public without your prior written consent. I will only keep your data as long as you are happy for me to do so.

When do I collect information about you?

I collect information about you when you:

  • Make an enquiry

  • Request to join my weekly email

  • Book into a class, course or workshop

  • Rent or subscribe to On-Demand Videos

  • Website usage information is collected using cookies

How will I use this information about you?

I collect your personal contact details about you (name, email, phone number, medical information that you choose to share with me, your preference for marketing photos and your waiver/disclaimer to join class) in order to process your booking, to make sure you are offered a safe practice and offered any necessary modifications. I also contact you in case of cancellations/changes to a class you have registered for.

If you request to join the mailing list, I send a weekly email to confirm my class schedule and give you first access to workshops, events or specials. I occasionally send extra emails to this circulation list regarding cancellations or changes (usually due to the weather) or to share additional information related to my offerings or very occasional linked products or services that I personally recommend. This mailing list will not be used for any other purposes. You have the option to opt out of the mailing list at anytime by emailing me and requesting immediate removal with no explanation required.
