Your information
Privacy policy
We ask for very little and use it for one thing only — replying to you and running the session you have asked about. This page explains exactly what that means.
Who we are
Michelle Himalaya Yoga is a small independent yoga teaching practice working in Edinburgh and Pennan, North East Scotland. We are the data controller for any personal information you send us. You can reach us at michellehimalayayoga@gmail.com or on +44 7422 684468.
What we collect
Through the booking enquiry form we collect only what we need to reply to you:
- Name — so we can address you properly.
- Email address — our main way of replying with availability, dates and practical details.
- Phone number — used only if email fails or you ask us to call, and for urgent changes to a session you have booked.
- Session type and preferred dates — to check availability.
- Anything else you write in the notes — including experience level, injuries or health considerations you choose to share.
Health information
Any injury, pregnancy or health detail you tell us is special category data under UK GDPR. You never have to provide it, but sharing it helps us teach you safely. We use it solely to adapt your practice, we do not record it anywhere beyond your enquiry, and we treat it with explicit consent that you can withdraw at any time.
How we use it
Your details are used only to respond to your enquiry, arrange and run the session you asked about, and keep you informed of changes to it. We do not add you to a mailing list unless you separately ask us to, we do not use your details for advertising, and we never sell, rent or share them with third parties for marketing.
Legal basis
We rely on your consent when you tick the box on the enquiry form, and on legitimate interests in replying to a direct request for our teaching. Health information is processed on the basis of your explicit consent.
How long we keep it
Enquiries that do not lead to a booking are deleted within twelve months. Records of sessions you attend are kept for up to three years for insurance and safeguarding purposes, then deleted. You can ask us to delete your details sooner at any time.
Where it is stored
Enquiries reach us by email and are stored in our email account and, where relevant, a simple contact list. Access is limited to the teacher running the practice. This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies.
Your rights
You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to withdraw consent at any time. Email michellehimalayayoga@gmail.com and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with our response you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
Consent notice
By ticking the consent box and sending the booking enquiry form, you agree that Michelle Himalaya Yoga may store your name, email address, phone number, preferred dates and any notes you include, and may contact you by email or phone about that enquiry. You can withdraw your consent and ask for your details to be deleted at any time by emailing michellehimalayayoga@gmail.com.
