Privacy notice

---

Our client-coach relationship is built on transparency, trust, confidentiality, and confidence in each other. This privacy notice outlines my commitment to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. It details how I collect and use your personal information as my client or a user of www.yogacoachjo.com

Any reference to ‘I’, ‘me’ or ‘my’ means Jo Murphy, the data controller and service provider trading under the name ‘yogacoachjo’. 

Any reference to ‘you’ or ‘your’ means any individual who uses the contact form on my site or works with me as a client. 

The terms ‘personal information’ and ‘personal data’ are interchangeable. Both terms mean information you voluntarily provide that personally identifies you and/or your contact information – such as you name or email address. 

What information do I collect and why? 

This site collects the personal information that you voluntarily provide, including your name and email address. I also collect personal information given voluntarily by clients during our sessions that is necessary for me to fulfil my contractual obligations as your coach. Your personal information will also be used for the purposes of processing transactions, sending periodic marketing emails and subscribing to a future newsletter. 

It is important that the client data I hold is accurate and current. If your personal information changes during our working relationship, please notify me by emailing yogacoachjo@gmail.com

How will I use your personal information? 

I will only use your personal information in the following circumstances: 

-  To deliver the services outlined in the contract I have entered into with you. 

-  To market other services that I offer which may be of interest to you. 

-  To inform you of updates to my services. 

How secure is your personal data? 

I have put in place measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, misuse or disclosure – but please be aware that no exchange of data over the internet is completely secure. I have also put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach, and I will notify you in such instance.

How long will I retain your data?

I will only hold your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. This includes satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. I am legally required to retain basic information for six years after our final interactions as coach and client. 

In some cases, I may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or marketing purposes. In this instance, I may use the information indefinitely. 

What about third parties? 

This site may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. I do not control these third-party websites. Nor am I responsible for their privacy statements. This notice only addresses the use and disclosure of information I collect from you through this site or my coaching services as outlined on this site. 

What about cookies? 

Cookies are used by nearly all websites. The term ‘cookies’ refers to small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the site. I use cookies to track how visitors use my website. This helps me to understand how to improve my site and my services. Where applicable, you will have the option to accept or decline cookies. 

What are your legal rights? 

Under data protections laws, you have the right to:

-  Request access to your personal data. 

-  Request correction of your personal data.

-  Request erasure of your personal data. 

-  Object to processing of your personal data. 

-  Request restricted processing of your personal data. 

-  Request transfer of your personal data. 

You also have the right to withdraw consent and opt out of any marketing or periodic email updates. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email me at yogacoachjo@gmail.com

Please note, I may refuse your request where I have a legal obligation, contractual or other legitimate business interest. If this is the case, you will have the right to appeal.
