Legal basis

The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:

Consent

In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent. For example, when you tick a box to receive email newsletters.

Contractual obligations

In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to provide our service. For example, if you want to join a class or workshop we’ll collect your contact telephone number details in case we have to cancel or change venue.

Legal compliance

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data. For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity to law enforcement.

Legitimate interest

In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests. For example, we may use your class or workshop attendance history of many attendees to identify trends and ensure we can keep up with demand, or develop new services/classes/tai chi forms.

We may collect your name, contact phone number, and email address.
