PRIVACY POLICY

At a Glance: Your Privacy Matters

I take your privacy and trust seriously. Here’s a simple overview of how your information is handled:

• Confidentiality first: Everything you share - in person or online - stays private. I’ll never share your information without your consent, unless required by law.

• Information I collect: Basic contact details, health forms, and session notes - only what’s needed to offer safe, effective treatments and yoga sessions.

• Stored securely: Your information is kept safe on password-protected systems and never sold or passed on to third parties.

• Your rights: You can ask to see, update, or delete your information at any time by emailing hello@sallygardner.yoga.

• Cookies: My website uses cookies to run smoothly. You can turn them off in your browser if you prefer.

 

That’s the essence - open, respectful, and transparent.
The full details are explained below.

Who This Applies To

This policy explains how your information is collected, used, and protected when you interact with Sally Gardner Yoga & Massage — including my website, booking system, and online services.

When I say “you”, I’m referring to any client, customer, or visitor.

Sometimes, anonymised or combined data (with no identifying details) may be used for supervision or service improvement purposes.
