Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 17 September 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to the privacy policy for Off to Yoga by Liz Parham ("we", "our", "us"). We are committed to protecting and respecting your personal privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 [civics]. This policy explains how we collect, use, and secure your personal data when you book a ticket for our workshops or use our website.

2. The Data We Collect About You

When you purchase a ticket or interact with our sales funnel, we collect the following personal information:

• Identity Data: First name and last name.

• Contact Data: Email address and phone number.

• Emergency Contact Data: The name and phone number of a designated third party to contact in the event of a medical emergency during the workshop.

• Health & Access Data: Any notes you voluntarily share with us regarding injuries, medical history, pregnancy, or dietary and accessibility requirements.

3. How and Why We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use it under the following legal bases:

• Performance of a Contract: To manage your booking, process your payment via Stripe, and deliver your confirmation email.

• Legitimate Interests: To send you vital event updates, venue directions, and reminders (including emergency cancellations or venue changes) regarding your workshop on 25 October 2026.

• Vital Interests: We collect and hold your emergency contact details strictly to protect your physical safety and well-being during our in-person sessions at the village hall [civics].

• Consent: If you opt-in, we may occasionally email you about future workshops. You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe instantly at any time.

4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Processors

We never sell your data. We only share your information with trusted service providers necessary to run our business:

• Systeme.io: Our software platform used to host this website and manage our email automation.

• Stripe: Our secure third-party payment gateway. We do not store or see your credit or debit card details.

4a. Use of Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the basic functionality of our secure checkout process and to analyze funnel traffic. We use essential cookies (via Systeme.io and Stripe) to securely process payments and detect fraudulent transactions. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of these necessary cookies.

5. Data Retention: How Long We Keep It

• General Booking Records: We keep your name, email, transaction details, and liability waiver check for up to 7 years to comply with UK tax, bookkeeping [finance], and insurance claims regulations.

• Emergency Contact Details: Because this data is only needed for physical safety on the day, all emergency contact names and phone numbers will be permanently deleted from our records immediately after the workshop concludes on 25 October 2026.

6. Photography & Privacy

We encourage a creative and open environment. However, we strictly respect your right to privacy. Participants are requested not to photograph or film other attendees without their explicit verbal consent. If you do not wish to appear in the background of any promotional images taken by the Instructor, please notify us at the start of the event.

7. Your Legal Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to your data, request corrections to inaccurate information, or ask us to delete your personal data (where it does not conflict with our tax or insurance legal obligations) [civics].
