Tistrya Yoga respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information I may collect when you visit this website, contact me, book a call or work with me, why I use it and how it is protected.

​

1. Who is responsible for your information?

Tistrya Yoga is responsible for the personal information collected through this website and through the services I provide.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is used, you can contact me using the contact form on this website.

​

2. Information I may collect

Depending on how you interact with Tistrya Yoga, I may collect information including:

• Your name

• Email address and contact details

• Information you provide through the website contact form

• Appointment and booking information

• Information relating to services or programmes you purchase

• Payment and transaction information

• Communications between us

• Information you voluntarily provide about your physical or mental health, injuries, pregnancy, physical limitations or other matters relevant to participating safely

• Basic technical information generated when you use the website, such as device, browser and cookie information

I only ask for information that is reasonably necessary for the service being provided.

​

3. How I use your information

Your information may be used to:

• Respond to enquiries

• Arrange discovery calls, appointments and sessions

• Provide yoga, somatic, meditation, breathwork and wellbeing services

• Assess whether practices may need to be modified for your safety

• Communicate with you about your programme or appointments

• Process payments and maintain appropriate business records

• Send information you have specifically requested

• Improve the website and services

• Meet legal, accounting, safeguarding or regulatory obligations

I will not sell your personal information.

​

4. Lawful basis for using your information

Depending on the circumstances, personal information may be processed because:

It is necessary to provide a service you have requested or to take steps before entering into a contract with you.

This includes responding to enquiries, arranging appointments and providing purchased services.

I have a legitimate business interest.

For example, maintaining appropriate records, responding to communications and operating and improving Tistrya Yoga.

I have a legal obligation.

Certain financial, accounting or other records may need to be retained because the law requires it.

You have given consent.

Where consent is the appropriate basis — for example, optional marketing communications — you can withdraw that consent at any time.

​

5. Health and wellbeing information

Information concerning your physical or mental health is treated as particularly sensitive personal information under UK data-protection law.

You may be asked to provide relevant health information where this is reasonably necessary to help you participate safely or adapt a practice appropriately.

Where I rely on your explicit consent to use this information, you will be asked to expressly agree to this, for example through the Health, Safety & Informed Consent form.

Health information will not be collected simply because it may be interesting or useful. Only information reasonably relevant to your safety and the service being provided will be requested. ICO guidance specifically requires organisations to minimise the amount of health information collected. 

You may withdraw consent to future processing of information that relies upon consent, although this does not affect lawful processing that has already taken place.

​

6. Who your information may be shared with

I do not sell or trade your personal information.

Where necessary to operate the website and provide services, information may be processed by trusted service providers, which may include:

• Wix, which hosts and operates this website

• Calendly, where used for appointment scheduling

• Zoom, where used to provide online sessions

• Email and communications providers

• Payment-processing providers, where applicable

• Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers where reasonably necessary

These organisations process information according to their own privacy and data-protection obligations.

Information may also be disclosed where I am legally required to do so or where there is a serious safeguarding concern.

​

7. International data transfers

Some technology providers used by Tistrya Yoga may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where this occurs, I use established service providers that are responsible for implementing appropriate safeguards for international transfers in accordance with applicable data-protection law.

​

8. How long information is kept

Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

The appropriate period will depend on the type of information and may include:

• The duration of our work together

• A reasonable period afterwards where records may be required

• Periods required for tax, accounting, insurance or legal purposes

Health information will not be retained longer than reasonably necessary for providing the relevant service and meeting legitimate legal or record-keeping requirements.

Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or destroyed.

​

9. Cookies and website information

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly and understand how visitors use the site.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function.

Where consent is legally required for optional analytics, advertising or similar cookies, these should not be activated until you have made your choice through the website’s cookie settings.

You can change your cookie preferences where those settings are available.

​

10. Marketing communications

I will only send you marketing emails where I have an appropriate lawful basis to do so.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent me from sending necessary communications relating to an appointment, purchase or service you are already receiving.

​

11. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law gives you rights including the right to:

• Request access to your personal information

• Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected

• Request deletion of information in certain circumstances

• Ask for processing to be restricted

• Object to certain uses of your information

• Request transfer of certain information

• Withdraw consent where processing relies upon consent

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are concerned about how your personal information has been handled. 

​

12. Security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

13. Links to other websites

This website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

Tistrya Yoga is not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. You should review their own privacy information where appropriate.

​

14. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may occasionally be updated to reflect changes to the website, services or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will always be available on this page.
