If you purchase a class or product through this website WooCommerce makes use of 3 cookies to keep track of your cart data.  These cookies contain information about your shopping cart as a whole and help WooCommerce to know when the cart data changes (eg. you add more products). The cookies contain a unique code for each customer so that it knows where to find the cart data in the database for you as a customer.

The Google Analytics cookie allows us to see basic information on user activities such as page views and time spent on our website. It has no personally identifiable information stored and is displayed only as numbers, meaning it cannot be tracked back to any individual user. Using Google Analytics helps us to see which pages are most popular so we can improve our service and bring customers more of what they are looking for.

Wordfence uses a cookie that allows the Wordfence firewall to detect logged in registered users and allow them increased access (eg. to your purchased classes). It also allows Wordfence to detect non-logged in users and restrict their access to secure areas. The cookie also lets the firewall know what level of access a visitor has to help the firewall make smart decisions about who to allow and who to block.  This cookie maintains the accessibility and security of the website and registered users.

Our responsibilities as a ‘controller’ under the GDPR

Controllers are defined by the GDPR as natural or legal persons, a public authority, agency or other body to which personal information or personal data has been disclosed, whether via a third party or not, and who determines the purposes and means of processing personal information. We are a controller under the GDPR as we collect, use and store your personal information to enable us to provide you with our goods and/or services.

As a controller, we have certain obligations under the GDPR when collecting, storing and using the personal information of EU citizens.  Whether you are an EU citizen or any user of this site, your personal data will:

  • be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner by us;
  • only be collected for the specific purposes we have identified in the ‘collection and use of personal information’ clause above and personal information will not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with the purposes we have identified;
  • be collected in a way that is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpose for which the personal information is processed;
  • be kept up to date, where it is possible and within our control to do so (please let us know if you would like us to correct any of your personal information);
  • be kept in a form which permits us to identify you, but only for so long as necessary for the purposes for which the personal data was collected;
  • be processed securely and in a way that protects against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.

Specifically, we have the following measures in place, in accordance with the GDPR:

  • Right to ask us to erase your personal information: You may request us to erase personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to ask us to restrict data processing: You may ask us to limit the processing of your personal information where you believe that the personal information we hold about you is wrong (to give us enough time to verify if the information needs to be changed), or where processing data is unlawful and you request us to restrict the processing of personal information rather than it being erased.
  • Notification of data breaches: We will comply with the GDPR in respect of any data breach.

You do not have to provide personal information to us, however, if you do not, it may affect your use of this Site or the products and/or services offered on or through it.
  • Restrict: You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information. If you have previously agreed to us using your personal information as a registered user of this site, you may change your mind at any time by contacting us.  If you ask us to restrict how we process your personal information, we will let you know how the restriction affects your use of our Site or products and services.
