Preface
I am aware of the fact that you have faith in my products and services. I therefore see it as my responsibility to protect your privacy according to the guidelines of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, AVG in Dutch).

On this page I let you know what information I may collect when you visit my practice, attend my events and use my website, why I collect this information and how I use it to improve your user experience. I hope to offer you optimum transparency about my working method and to meet your privacy rights.

This privacy policy applies to all my products and services. You should be aware that I am not responsible for the privacy policies of other websites and sources.

I respect the privacy of all users of my services and I always handle in ways that assure the personal information you provide is treated confidentially. Through this statement I let you know what information I collect when you use my services, including my website, my social media channels and my contact form, why I collect this information and how I serve you with it.

I process personal data for the following purposes:

• To process your registration, reservation and/or payment after you have purchased a product or service;
• To create a customer file in order to keep the information you provide me with on one place;
• To be able to contact you if this is necessary to perform the service that you have contracted;
• To deliver goods and services that you have purchased;
• To inform you about (changes to) my services and products that you have previously purchased. You can always unsubscribe from this via a link in the relevant e-mail;
• To send newsletters and mailings for which you have registered;
• To determine, in the case of participation in a lesson, workshop, event or training, whether participation in this “service” will not cause unforeseen and undesired problems;
• To tailor my range of products and services based on your surfing behavior. I only do this with your permission (see cookies). The data collected through your surfing behavior is anonymous.

I process your personal data because you use my services and/or because you provide this data to me yourself. Below you will find an overview of the personal data that I may process, depending on the product or service you purchase, and the purpose for which I collect this data.

• First and last name: Communication purposes;
• Gender: Communication purposes, Marketing purposes, customer profile.
• Date of birth: Customer profile, marketing purposes

I do not intend to collect data from website visitors under the age of 16. However, it is not possible to check the age of visitors. If I inadvertently have information about your child, please contact pamela@gingerandyoga.com to have this information removed.

• Address details: communication purposes;
• Telephone number: communication purposes;
• Email address: Communication purposes;
• Location data: Communication purposes;
• Information about your activities on my websites and my e-mail system: Communication purposes, customer profile, marketing purposes;
• Information about your activities when participating in my online courses: customer profile, communication purposes, marketing purposes;
• Other personal data that you actively provide by registering for a workshop, event or during a consultation or treatment, in correspondence and by telephone, that are relevant to provide you with my service. Examples of this is information about your medical background, use of medication, diet or allergies. This makes it possible for me to help and support you in the best way possible while participating in my activities or contracting one of my services. Specific information on how your medical information is processed will be presented to you during your first appointment through a consent form / treating agreement (‘behandelovereenkomst’ in Dutch), which will have to be agreed upon by yourself as a client, and signed by both you and myself as your therapist/wellness coach. This consent form / treating agreement is compliant with the guidelines created by ANVAG, the professional association that I am registered with.

Due to the fact that I am also bound by legal and administrative obligations, I will need to collect certain information for accounting and tax declarations.

E-mail communication

If you purchase a product or service from me, you agree to receive my recurring newsletter. You can also register for the newsletter through the website. The personal data that I register for my newsletter subscriptions are the first name and e-mail address. This information is stored in Mailerlite. When you purchase a product or service from me or subscribe to my newsletter, you agree to the processing of your personal data in accordance with this privacy statement. Every e-mail that you receive from me from Mailerlite contains a link that you can use to unsubscribe from if you wish.

My e-mail system (Mailerlite, Gmail) gives me access to the e-mail lists to which my customers have subscribed, which e-mails they have received from me, which e-mails have been opened, which parts of the newsletter have been clicked and the corresponding dates and times. In addition, Mailerlite automatically keeps track of the user’s country and region. With this information I can determine whether the e-mails you receive are of interest to you, and if necessary better attune to your wishes so that you do not receive unwanted e-mails from me.

When you are a member of my newsletter I will send you emails with content updates and information about new products, services and events on a regular basis. In the case of a payment, I have insight into the payment details of my customers. For example, if you approach me with a question via e-mail, I will keep the data / correspondence provided by you for as long as necessary to answer your question and for my own administration, to make sure I follow-up in the business process designed to attend to your needs.

Payment details

Payment data of my customers consists of the name of the customer, (optional) address data, the purchase date, payment method and order or invoice number. I process this data through my banking environment and online account system (Moneybird). This is always done via a secure https connection. You can see this on the address bar “https” and the padlock.

I base the processing of payment data on one of the six GDPR (AVG) principles called “Necessary for the execution of an agreement”. These payment details are necessary for my accounting and tax returns.

Sharing personal data with third parties

I do not sell your data to third parties. I do, however, provide data to external parties if necessary for the delivery of products or services and to comply with legal obligations.

Links

A number of links to other websites of organizations can be found on my websites. I cannot bear any responsibility with regard to the use of your data by those organizations. Hereby it is recommended to read the Privacy Statement of the website in question.

Usage of apps and external platforms

For certain services I provide I use Zoom or Skype. I also offer the possibility to stay in contact with each other via WhatsApp. For example, for a follow-up conversation regarding an intake, follow-up consultation or wellness plan sent by e-mail previously and that my customers may have questions about.

By purchasing or participating in this service or additional service that I facilitate, offer or allow, you agree to use the services of these third parties. I have no access to the data that these parties collect, nor do I have any influence on it. If you would like to know how they handle data, please read the privacy policy of Zoom, Skype and WhatsApp.

Image and sound recordings and distribution

I create or make images (photo/video) and/or sound recordings during certain events, workshops and courses. This will be stated in the product/service description as it is offered on my website, or (in the case of studio rental) on my partner’s website. At the beginning of the course or workshop, the method of distribution will be announced. By participating, you by default agree to the recording and distribution of the image and sound materials. If desired, you may express your wish to not appear in recordings and take place in an area where no recordings are made, and/or not actively participate in, for example, a conversation.

When you register and participate in a workshop or course, you automatically agree that I may use the photo or recording for educational, communication and marketing purposes. With this you accept Ginger & Yoga and possible partners are free from liability for damage as a result of the recording or the use of the recorded materials. Please note that you cannot claim a monetary reimbursement (or reimbursement otherwise) based on, for example, portrait rights or the use of personal data.
