This privacy policy sets out how U Can Yoga uses and protects any information you supply when you use this website.

Any information you give via this website will only be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

The information U Can Yoga collects:

This website may collect the following information:

  • Your Name
  • Your Contact information, such as an email address

This information will be used for internal record keeping, and to allow to send you promotional emails about yoga-related events and content on the site you might find interesting. This information will never be shared with a third party without your express consent unless I am required to do so by law.

Direct marketing emails informing you of new, future or alternative services I am providing are sent through a secure permission-based email system called MailChimp (see their Privacy Policy at www.mailchimp.com). When you sign up via the U Can Yoga website or purchase from the online shop you will be invited by email to join my MailChimp email list. You have the ability to Opt-In at this point, and subsequently subscription preferences may be changed by you at any time. If you purchase from the online shop then the necessary payment information will be collected via PayPal (see their Privacy Policy here) or Stripe (see their Privacy Policy here).

Personal Data Collected at the Time of Booking a Workshop or Class through U Can Yoga

A certain amount of personal data is collected by U Can Yoga at the time of booking. This is for the purposes of meeting Insurance Company criteria as well as for your health and safety at yoga. Health information is also used to tailor sessions to suit your individual needs.

All information gathered by U Can Yoga either on paper or through the online booking process is treated as confidential and will not be shared with a third party. If you grant permission, it is kept securely in the Reservie online booking system (see their Privacy Policy at https://www.reservie.net/privacy-policy), and only viewed by Paula Hines / the teacher of the class or service which you have booked.

My Insurance Company request that I keep a record of my customer’s data and registrations for seven years after your last class with me.

If you wish to alter any of your data, review how it is used or wish to request its return to you, please contact Paula Hines at ucanyoga1@gmail.com.

You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information to U Can Yoga, in which case U Can Yoga may not be able to provide certain services to you.
