This policy explains when and why personal information is collected, how we use it, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

This Policy may change from time to time so please check this page occasionally to ensure that you are happy with any changes.  By using the website, you are agreeing to be bound by this Policy.

Any questions regarding this Policy and our privacy practices should be sent by email to simply.prana@yahoo.co.uk.
Who are we?
We are Barefeet Yoga – a yoga, movement and biomechanics specialist in Deal, Kent.

How do we collect information from you?

When you join a class or have a biomechanics assessment you are required to complete a client detail form.

When you book a class you may choose to sign up for our regular electronic newsletter.

What type of information is collected from you?
The personal information that we collect includes your name, address and email address as well as information you disclose regarding your health and fitness.

If you pay for a class online via PayPal, Stripe or Bookwhen, we do not receive your bank information as this is processed via email addresses.  Your information is not held by us, it is collected by the provider, who specialise in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions.

How is your information used?
Your information is used to:-

  • carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into by you and us
  • seek your views or comments on the services we provide
  • notify you of changes to our services
  • send you communications which you have requested and that may be of interest to you. These may include information about promotions, goods or services.

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.
Who has access to your information?
We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.

We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf: We may pass your information to our third-party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to process payments and send you mailings). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond Barefeet Yoga for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.
Your choices
You have a choice about whether you wish to receive information from us. If you do not want to receive direct marketing communications from us about our exciting products and services, then you can select your choices by ticking the relevant boxes situated on the form on which we collect your information.

We will not contact you for marketing purposes by email, phone or text message unless you have given your prior consent. You can change your marketing preferences at any time by contacting us by email: simply.prana@yahoo.co.uk
How you can access and update your information
The accuracy of your information is important to us. If you change email address, or any of the other information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please email us at: simply.prana@yahoo.co.uk

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information Barefeet Yoga hold about you.
Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely.   We do not take bank details from you.
Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
