This Privacy Policy describes how Yoga Namaste India ("we", "us", or "our") handles your personal information when you use our website at yoganamasteindia.com. By using the website you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly when you:
- Create an account — first name, middle name (optional), last name, email address, phone number, password (stored as a secure hash), preferred language, gender (optional), date of birth (optional), and marketing-communication preference
- Make a booking — class type, preferred date and time, experience level, and any notes you add
- Use the contact form — name, email address, and your message
- Use the footer "Stay Connected" form — email address and a short note
We do not automatically collect analytics, device information, or usage telemetry on this website.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To create and manage your account
- To process and confirm class bookings and send you confirmation emails
- To respond to enquiries you send via our contact form
- To send optional marketing communications, only if you opted in when registering
- To maintain the security and reliability of our website
3. Cookies & Tracking
This website does not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or any browser tracking technology. The only data stored in your browser is a short-lived, server-issued session cookie that keeps you logged in while you browse — it expires when you close your browser or sign out.
We use no Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tracking services on this website.
4. Third Parties
We do not sell your personal data. We work with the following third-party services which may receive limited data as part of their function:
- PayPal — processes payments on our pricing page. When you pay, PayPal receives your payment details directly. We store only the resulting PayPal order ID, plan name, and amount — never your card details. See PayPal's Privacy Policy.
- Google Maps — an interactive map is embedded on our Contact page. Loading that page sends your IP address to Google. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Content Delivery Networks — we load static assets (icon fonts, CSS) from public CDNs (Cloudflare and Tailwind). These services may log your IP address as part of normal CDN operation.
- Hosting providers — our website and data are hosted on reputable third-party infrastructure in the EU. These providers act as data processors under appropriate data-processing agreements.
- Law enforcement — we will disclose data if required to do so by law or a valid legal request.
5. Data Retention
We keep your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us.
6. Security
Your password is stored as a bcrypt hash — we never see or store it in plain text. All communication between your browser and our website uses HTTPS encryption. We apply industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your information.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location (including if you are in the EU / EEA under GDPR), you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request deletion of your data ("right to erasure")
- Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the details in §10 below.
8. Minimum Age
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account on this website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has registered, please contact us and we will remove the account promptly.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
