Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how personal information is collected, used, and protected when you use our online platform and services provided by Yoga du Marais.

The data controller responsible for processing your personal data is Yoga du Marais, located at 10 Rue de Rivoli, 4th Floor, Paris, Île-de-France, 75004 France.

We collect various types of information when you interact with our service. This includes information you provide directly, such as your name, address, contact details, payment information, and potentially health information relevant to safe participation in fitness activities or teacher training programs, always with your explicit consent where required. You provide this data when you register for classes, workshops, retreats, or teacher training, purchase items from our retail section, or communicate with us. We also collect information automatically as you navigate our site or use our services. This automatically collected information may include your IP address, browser type, usage patterns, device details, and information about your visit and how you interact with our online platform.

Information is collected directly through forms you complete on our site or in person, through communication with our staff, and automatically through the use of cookies and other tracking technologies as you use our service.

We use the collected information for several purposes: to provide, operate, and maintain our services, including managing class bookings, sessions, workshops, retreats, and teacher training programs; to process transactions and manage payments for retail purchases and services; to manage your account and provide customer support; to communicate with you about your account, services you are using, and, where permitted, about other services or events that may be of interest to you; to improve our online platform, services, and your experience; to monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our service; and to comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

We process personal data based on several legal grounds. This includes processing necessary for the performance of a contract with you, such as providing the fitness classes, workshops, or teacher training you have signed up for or fulfilling retail orders. Processing may also be necessary for compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject, such as accounting or tax requirements. Where we have a legitimate interest that is not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms, such as improving our service or preventing fraud, we may process data on this basis. For certain processing activities, particularly those involving sensitive health data or marketing communications, we rely on your consent, and you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, but no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure.

We may share your personal data with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processors, website hosting providers, IT service providers, and marketing service providers. These third parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed. We may also disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others. Your personal data will not be sold, rented, or traded to third parties for their independent marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Under applicable data protection law, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have rights regarding your personal data. These include the right to access the personal data we hold about you, the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data, the right to request the erasure of your personal data under certain circumstances, the right to restrict the processing of your data, the right to object to processing under certain conditions, and the right to data portability. You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention period depends on the type of data and the purpose of processing.

Our online platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site usage, and for other operational purposes. You can control the use of cookies through your browser settings, although disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our service.

Our services are not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete such information.

Your personal data may be transferred to, and stored in, locations outside of your country or the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, such as using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or relying on an adequacy decision.

If you have questions about this privacy policy, wish to exercise your rights regarding your personal data, or have any other privacy-related concerns, please contact us by postal mail addressed to Yoga du Marais at 10 Rue de Rivoli, 4th Floor, Paris, Île-de-France, 75004 France.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the date of the latest revision will be indicated. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
