  • Date of birth

  • Health or access needs (to support safe participation)

  • Payment transaction information (via third-party processors)

5. Purposes and legal bases for processing

We process personal data for the following purposes, each with an appropriate legal basis:

a) To deliver services you request
(e.g. register for classes, manage bookings, send communications about services) 

b) To communicate with you
(e.g. email newsletters, updates where you have given consent) 

c) To comply with legal obligations
(e.g. safeguarding, finance, equalities reporting) 

d) To improve our services and monitor effectiveness

You have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

 

6. Cookies and online tracking

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Enable basic website functionality

  • Improve user experience

  • Provide analytics

Details of cookie use and how to manage preferences are provided in our Cookie Notice on the website.

 

7. Who we share your data with

We may share personal data:

  • With service providers (e.g. booking systems, email platforms) acting as data processors

  • Where required by law or to protect legal rights

All third parties must comply with data protection law and are under contract not to share personal data beyond the purposes we specify.

 

8. International transfers

Some service providers may store or process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy arrangements or standard contractual clauses are in place.

 

9. Data security

We take appropriate organisational and technical measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse (e.g., password-protected systems, limited access rights).

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected and in line with legal requirements. Typically:

  • Service participation records: duration of service + a defined period for reporting and legal purposes

  • Financial records: typically seven years for statutory compliance

  • Mailing list data: until you unsubscribe

  • Images/videos: with consent until consent is withdrawn
