We use your information to:

Where you have opted in, we may use your email address to send occasional studio news, class announcements and offers. You can change this preference through your account or contact us at any time.

Service-related messages, such as booking confirmations, class reminders, payment updates, and important account notices, are not marketing messages and may still be sent where necessary to provide the service.

5. Payments

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers.

Timi Yoga does not store full card details. Payment providers may process payment information according to their own privacy and security terms.

6. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information only where necessary with:

  • booking, website, hosting, email, or payment service providers
  • instructors or staff where needed to manage bookings and classes
  • accountants, legal advisers, or professional service providers
  • public authorities where required by law

7. How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including account management, bookings, receipts, legal obligations, tax records, dispute handling, and service improvement.

If you close your account, we may still retain certain information where required for legal, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, or legitimate business reasons.

8. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • request access to your personal information
  • request correction of inaccurate information
  • request deletion of your information
  • object to certain uses of your information
  • withdraw marketing consent
  • request a copy of certain information
  • lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To make a request, contact us at admin@timi-yoga.com.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No online system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functional, remember your cookie choices, support account login, and improve the service.

Necessary cookies are always used. Optional cookies are used only with your consent.

Google Analytics

If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure website usage and performance, such as pages visited and general traffic patterns. Google Analytics is optional, loads only after you give analytics consent, and is not used for advertising, remarketing, or personalised ads.

We do not send names, email addresses, phone numbers, account identifiers, booking notes, private-session addresses, or payment identifiers to Google Analytics.

You can withdraw analytics consent at any time through Cookie Preferences on the website. After withdrawal, analytics collection stops and Google Analytics cookies for this site are removed where reasonably possible.

11. Children

Timi Yoga services are intended for adults unless otherwise stated.

If classes are offered to minors, a parent or legal guardian may be required to create the account, make bookings, provide consent, and accept the relevant terms.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When we make material changes, we will update the version number and effective date. Continued use of the website or services after changes are published means the updated policy applies.
