We will only use your data for the purpose for which it was collected. We will only grant access to, or share your data, with Therapists and Teachers working at C & B Yoga.

The Purpose of this Notice

This Notice is designed to help you understand what kind of information we collect in connection to our services and how we will process and use this information. In the course of providing you with our services, we will collect and process information that is commonly known as personal data. This notice describes how we collect, use, share, retain and safeguard personal data.

What is Personal Data?

Personal Data is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Examples include and individual’s name, age, address, date of birth, gender and contact details. Personal Data may contain information which is known as special categories of personal data. This may be information relating to, and not limited to, an individual’s health.

Personal Data We Collect

In order for us to provide treatment/therapy to you, we will collect and process personal data about you. We will also collect your personal data where you request information about our services, customer events, or promotions.

We may also need to collect personal data relating to others, in order to provide and administer treatment/therapy/classes or workshops related to Yoga, Mindfulness or other relevant disciplines. In most circumstances, you will provide us with this information. Where you disclose the personal data of others, you must ensure you are entitled to do so.

You may provide us with personal data when you contact us via the telephone, when writing to us directly or where we provide you with paper-based forms (consultation forms) for completion, or we complete a form in conjunction with you.

We will not collect any more data than is necessary. We will only collect data that we need to hold, in order to do the job for which we have collected the data.

We will ensure the data is accurate and ask clients to check periodically and confirm that the data that is held is still accurate.

Where we collect data directly from you, we are considered to be the controller of that data i.e. we are the Data Controller. We do not use a Data Processor.

A data ‘controller’ means the individual or organisation which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the possession of personal data.

A data ‘processor’ means the individual or organisation which processes personal data on behalf of the controller – we do not use one of these.

Detailed below is clarification of the categories of personal data that we, as service providers, collect:

Individual’s full name

Date of birth

Address

Telephone Number

Your telephone number will only be used to contact you relating to your appointment and only if necessary, or you have specifically asked us to contact you (i.e you have left an answerphone message).

We and/or our therapists/teachers hold your name, telephone number, e-mail address and gender on our electronic diary systems. This is for the purposes of knowing our appointments and sending you an appointment reminder, if applicable, as well as to ensure the personal safety and security of our clients and therapists.

Why Do We Need Your Personal Data?

We require your personal details when we require you to complete a ‘health’ questionnaire/consultation form and we need to be able to identify who the information belongs to.
