Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
• Identification and contact data: name, surname, email, country/city of residence, telephone (if provided);
• Booking and payment data: services purchased, dates, amounts, billing information (payment card details are handled directly by our payment processor and we do not store full card numbers);

• Communications data: messages you send us, your participation in classes (e.g. presence in a Zoom session), your interactions with our newsletter or marketing emails;
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, language preferences, pages visited, collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy);

If you provide us with personal data of third parties (for example, in a gift purchase), you confirm you have their consent and that you have informed them of this Privacy Policy.
Why we process your data, and on what legal basis
You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. Withdrawing consent for service-related processing may prevent us from delivering the service.
Special-category data: health information
Some of our services involve practices that can affect your physical and mental health. Where you share information about your health (e.g. through a pre-class questionnaire), we treat this as special-category data under Article 9 of the GDPR.
We process this data exclusively for the purpose of ensuring your safety during practice and only with your explicit consent, given through a clear affirmative action (e.g. ticking a specific consent box). We do not use health information for marketing or any unrelated purpose, we do not share it with third parties except where strictly necessary (e.g. emergency services), and we delete it when it is no longer needed for the stated purpose.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing birjiwan@gmail.com.
How long we keep your data
After the applicable period, data is deleted or anonymised, except where it must be retained to defend potential legal claims, in which case it is blocked and not used for any other purpose.
Who we share your data with
We share your data only with the third parties strictly necessary to provide the service or comply with the law. These include:
• Hosting and website providers: [Squarespace.com];
• Email and communications: [Google Workspace];
• Newsletter and marketing tools: [FloDesk];
• Booking and scheduling platforms: [Acuity];
• Video conferencing: [Zoom Video Communications, Inc.];
• Payment processors: [Stripe];
• Accounting and invoicing: your gestoría or accounting software;
• Public authorities and law enforcement when required by law (tax authorities, courts,AEPD, etc.).
We have entered into data processing agreements with our processors as required by Article 28 of the GDPR.
International data transfers
Some of our processors are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), in particular in the United States (e.g. Zoom, Google, Stripe, certain marketing tools). Where this is the case, transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards under the GDPR, including:
• EU-US Data Privacy Framework for processors certified under it;
• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, where applicable;
• Additional supplementary measures where necessary.
You can request information about the specific safeguards in place for any given transfer by contacting us at birjiwan@gmail.com.
Security of your data
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure, including:
• Encrypted (HTTPS) communications between your device and our servers;
• Encrypted storage where applicable;
• Access controls and authentication;
• Regular review of security practices.
No system is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a personal data breach affecting your rights, we will notify you and the AEPD as required under Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR.
Your rights
You have the following rights under the GDPR:
• Right of access: to obtain confirmation of whether we are processing your data, and to receive a copy;
• Right of rectification: to have inaccurate data corrected;
• Right of erasure ("right to be forgotten"): to have your data deleted where the legal grounds apply;
• Right to restriction of processing: to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances;
