Where marketing consent is required, I will ask for your consent before sending marketing communications.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by contacting me at:
Unsubscribing from marketing will not prevent me from sending you essential information relating to a booking or service you have purchased.
6. Health information and PAR-Q forms
Health information supplied through a PAR-Q or health screening questionnaire is treated as confidential and is only used for purposes connected with your safe participation in Pilates and the provision of appropriate instruction.
Health information is special category data under the UK GDPR and is subject to additional legal protections.
I will only collect information that is relevant and necessary for the purpose for which it is collected. I will not use your health information for unrelated purposes or sell it to anyone.
Where explicit consent is used as the condition for processing health information, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before you withdrew it.
If you withdraw consent for the processing of information that I genuinely need in order to assess whether you can safely participate in a Pilates class or session, I may not be able to provide that service.
7. Who I share your information with
I do not sell your personal information.
I may need to use trusted service providers who process personal information on my behalf in order to operate my business. These may include providers of:
-
Website hosting and website services
-
Online forms and document storage
-
Email services
-
Payment processing
-
Booking or business administration services
-
Accounting or financial services
For example, my website is hosted using Wix, and I use Google Forms and Google services for certain forms and information storage.
These providers may process personal information on my behalf and are required to handle it in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
I may also disclose information where I am legally required to do so, or where it is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
I will only share the information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
8. Wix
My website is hosted on the Wix platform.
Wix may process information collected through my website, including information submitted through website forms and technical information about website visitors.
Wix may store and process information using its own systems and service providers. Wix has its own privacy and data protection arrangements.
You can find further information about Wix's handling of personal data in Wix's privacy information.
9. Google Forms and Google services
I may use Google Forms to collect information such as booking details and health screening/PAR-Q information.
Information submitted through Google Forms may be stored within Google services, such as Google Drive or Google Sheets.
Access to this information is restricted to the people who need it to operate Stable Bodies Pilates.
Google has its own privacy and security arrangements and may process data in accordance with its terms and policies.
10. How I protect your information
I take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your personal information against:
-
Unauthorised access
-
Loss
-
Accidental disclosure
-
Destruction
-
Unauthorised alteration
Access to information is restricted where reasonably possible.
Health information is treated with particular care because of its sensitive nature.
However, no method of storing or transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. How long I keep your information
I will not keep your personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Different information may therefore be retained for different periods.
For example:
-
Enquiry information will normally be kept only for as long as necessary to deal with the enquiry and any resulting relationship.
-
Booking and attendance information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to manage your participation and business records.
-
Financial and transaction records will be retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting requirements.
-
Health and PAR-Q information will be reviewed periodically and securely deleted when it is no longer reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to any legal or insurance requirements that may require longer retention.
I will regularly review the information I hold and securely delete or dispose of information that is no longer required.
12. Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have rights in relation to your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these include the right to:
-
Be informed about how your information is used
-
Request access to the personal information I hold about you
-
Ask for inaccurate or incomplete information to be corrected
-
Ask for your information to be deleted where there is no good reason for me to continue processing it
-
Ask me to restrict how I use your information in certain circumstances
-
Object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing
-
Request the transfer of certain information to you or another organisation where the right to data portability applies
-
Withdraw consent where I am relying on consent as the lawful basis for processing
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exemptions or other conditions.
To exercise your rights, please contact:
I may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
13. If you have a concern
If you have a concern about how I have handled your personal information, please contact me first so that I can try to resolve it.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which is the UK's data protection regulator.
Information about making a complaint is available from the ICO website.
14. Cookies
My website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate securely and correctly. Other cookies may be used for functionality, preferences, performance or other purposes.
The cookies used may vary depending on the features and services enabled on the website.
Where required by law, I will ask for consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
15. Children's information
Stable Bodies Pilates primarily provides Pilates services to adults.
I do not knowingly collect personal information from children through my website without appropriate consent or involvement from a parent or guardian where this is required.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to me inappropriately, please contact me so that I can review and delete the information where appropriate.
16. Changes to this Privacy Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to my services, the way I process personal information, or changes in data protection law.
The latest version will be published on this website and will show the date it was last updated.
