2. Our Approach to Privacy

Your privacy matters to us. We only collect information that is genuinely needed to run classes, communicate with participants, and provide safe and supportive wellbeing services.

We do not sell or trade personal information.

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us.

3. The Information We May Collect

Depending on how you interact with Lost&Found Wellness, we may collect:

  • Basic contact information
  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Health or wellbeing information (shared voluntarily)
  • Injuries or physical limitations
  • Pregnancy
  • Medical conditions relevant to participation
  • Accessibility needs
  • Emergency contact information
  • Booking and payment information
  • Transaction details relating to class or course payments
  • Billing information where required
  • Communications
  • Messages sent via email, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, phone or other direct contact channels

4. Health Information

Information about injuries, health conditions, pregnancy or accessibility needs is considered sensitive personal data under GDPR.

This information is only used to:

  • support safe participation in classes
  • help the teacher understand relevant needs during practice

Participants may choose how much information they wish to disclose. Health information is optional; consent to its use is requested separately where we rely on explicit consent.

Health information may be shared through Bookwhen, email, WhatsApp, social media messages or in person. We do not routinely create separate health notes. Where you choose to disclose relevant information, we use it discreetly to understand your needs and, where appropriate, offer adjustments to postures, movement or participation.

Bookwhen provides a separate, optional checkbox for explicit consent to use health information. If information is submitted without that consent, we will seek clarification before relying on it for individual adjustments.

You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing hello@lostandfoundwellness.com; this does not affect processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal.

5. How We Use Personal Information

Lost&Found Wellness uses trusted third-party providers to manage bookings, attendance, payments and business communications. These providers process only the personal information necessary to deliver their services and are selected with appropriate data protection safeguards in place.

This may include:

  • managing class, workshop, or course bookings
  • supporting safe participation in yoga or meditation sessions where relevant health information has been shared
  • communicating about upcoming sessions, schedule changes, or important information relating to your booking
  • processing payments for services
  • improving classes and services offered by Lost&Found Wellness
  • sending newsletters, updates, courses, and events where you have chosen to join the mailing list

If you contact Lost&Found Wellness through email, phone, or messaging platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp, the information you provide will be used only to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about the services you have asked about.

Messages sent through social media or messaging platforms are also subject to the privacy policies of those platforms.

Where you have opted in to receive marketing emails, your email address will be used to send occasional updates about classes, workshops, courses, events, and other offerings. You may unsubscribe from these communications at any time.

In the future, Lost&Found Wellness may introduce online booking or scheduling systems to help manage class registrations. Where this occurs, these platforms may process limited personal information required to manage bookings and attendance. Any such services will be chosen with appropriate data protection safeguards in place.

6. Marketing Communications

If you join our mailing list, you may receive emails about classes, workshops, courses, events and updates.

Marketing emails are sent through Sender.net.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in emails.

Where personal information is transferred outside the European Economic Area, the applicable transfer arrangements and safeguards depend on the provider and service.

10. Data Retention

Our retention approach includes:

  • Booking and financial records: up to 7 years for tax and legal purposes
  • Health or participation information: kept only while needed to support participation or for another justified purpose. Disclosures may remain in the original booking or messaging platform, subject to its retention settings and our ability to manage or delete them
  • Mailing list data: until you unsubscribe
  • General enquiries: In some circumstances, information may be retained for longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or support insurance or safety-related matters. We aim not to retain information longer than necessary and will take reasonable steps to remove information that is no longer required, taking account of the controls available on each platform.up to 12 months

In some circumstances, information may be retained for longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or support insurance or safety-related matters. We aim not to retain information longer than necessary and will take reasonable steps to remove information that is no longer required, taking account of the controls available on each platform.

11. Children and Young People

Where participants under 18 attend classes or sessions, personal information will be provided and managed through a parent or guardian.

Communication regarding bookings or health information will take place directly with the responsible adult.

12. Photography and Video

Photos or video may occasionally be taken during classes or events for promotional purposes.

Images will only be used where clear consent has been given in advance.

Participants may withdraw consent at any time by contacting:
hello@lostandfoundwellness.com

If a participant under the age of 18 appears in any photograph or video, their consent alone is not considered valid. Consent will be obtained from a parent or legal guardian before any image is used.

Where consent is not provided, reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that the individual is not identifiable in any published material.

At times, the teacher may also record video or audio of themselves only for the purpose of reviewing and improving their teaching practice. These recordings will be positioned so that participants are not visible or identifiable, will not be shared publicly, and participants will be informed in advance when this is taking place.
