    • Basic Medical History – We’ll ask about details of previous medical conditions and your current medication.

​

4.   How We Use Your Data

  • Data protection law means that we can only use your data for certain reasons and where we have a legal basis to do so. Here are the reasons for which we process your data:

    • Providing Our Pilates Services: We will use your contact details to provide our Pilates service to you. Our legal basis for this is contractual obligation (see below).

      • We ask for your basic medical history in order to provide a safe service to you. This is a special category of data under data protection law, and we will only process this with your explicit consent. If you don’t provide it we may not be able to provide a safe service.

    • Answering Your Queries & Customer Support: We will use your email and contact details to answer your contact requests and queries. Our legal basis for doing so is contractual obligation.

    • Keeping Our Website Running: providing and managing your access to our website and services, personalising and tailoring your experience on our website and services. Our legal basis for this is legitimate interest (see below).

    • Marketing Purposes: We may send you emails and messages about our services and content and keep in touch with you generally, but only with your agreement. You will always be able to unsubscribe from these. Our legal basis for doing that is consent (see below).

​

5.   Legal Basis

  • We have identified a legal basis for each of our purposes in paragraph 4. This is what they mean:

  • Contractual Obligation:

    • Processing your data is necessary for a contract you have with us, or because we have asked you to take specific steps before entering into that contract.

  • Consent

    • You have given clear consent for you to process your personal data for a specific purpose.

    • You can always withdraw your consent. You can do this by clicking on unsubscribe in any marketing email we send, or by getting in touch via the contact details in paragraph 1.

    • If you withdraw your consent and we have no other legal basis for processing your data we will stop. If we do have another legal basis we will continue to do so, subject to your legal rights.

  • Legitimate Interest:

    • Processing your data is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, provided those interests are not outweighed by your rights and interests. These legitimate interests are:

      • gaining insights from your behaviour on our website

      • delivering, developing and improving our service

      • enabling us to enhance, customise or modify our services and communications

      • enhancing data and physical security

      • promoting our products, services and business

      • responding to customer enquiries, contact requests and promoting our services.

    • In each case, these legitimate interests are only valid if they are not outweighed by your rights and interests.

    • You can always object to our processing of your data based on legitimate interest. If you do so and we have no other legal basis for processing your data we will stop. If we do have another legal basis we will continue to do so, subject to your legal rights.

​

6.   Storing and Sharing Your Data

  • Data security is very important to us and we take appropriate security measures to safeguard and secure your data which is collected via our website and in providing our services.

  • Our Data Security policy is inline with industry best practice. All of our paper files are kept safe with physical security and destroyed in line with the retention periods specified below.

  • We endeavour to keep all of your personal information in the European Economic Area (EEA). The EEA includes all EU Member States plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

  • In limited, and necessary, circumstances your information may be transferred outside of the EEA; this will only happen where it can’t be avoided. Where this does happen, we will put special protections in place.  We will only move data to countries or organisations:

  • We will never sell or otherwise transfer any of your personal medical data to any third party, except in the event of an emergency, and then only to a medical professional.

  • We will never sell or otherwise transfer or disclose your other personal data to any third party except:

    • We may sometimes contract with trusted service providers to provide goods and services on our behalf. These are generally limited to providing email servers, calendar and appointment booking and payment processing. We may have to transfer your personal data to these companies, or your personal data may pass through them when you deal with us.

    • Where we transfer your data to our trusted service providers we will have confirmed that they will apply data protection and security measures to the same standard we would. We will always impose contractual terms on all of our providers to ensure your data remains secure.

    • In certain limited circumstances we may be legally required to share your personal data – for example where we are involved in legal proceedings, or where we are complying with a court order, regulatory requirement, or government department with appropriate legal authority to compel us to do so.

​

7.   How Long We Keep Your Data

  • We do not keep your personal data for any longer than it is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected and for our obligation under other laws.

  • We will keep client data for no longer than 10 years after your last appointment – so that we can efficiently resume providing a service if you return.

  • At the end of that period your data will be either deleted completely or anonymised.

  • Exceptions to the above will be:

    • Where you have exercised your right to have the information where it applies.

    • Where the law requires us to keep your data for longer or delete it sooner.

    • Where a legal claim is in progress – we’ll keep your data until that claim is concluded.

​

  • All cookies used by and on our website are used in accordance with the current cookie law.
