We will only process health-related information where there is an appropriate legal basis under applicable data protection law, including where you have explicitly provided consent where consent is required.

F. Website operation and security
We may process technical information to:

operate the website;
maintain website security;
prevent abuse or fraudulent activity;
diagnose technical problems;
improve website performance; and
ensure the website functions correctly.

This information may include IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location derived from IP address, operating system, pages visited and technical logs.
Legal basis: legitimate interests in operating and securing our website.
G. Analytics and website improvement
Where appropriate and subject to applicable consent requirements, we may use analytics technologies to understand:

how visitors use the website;
which pages are visited;
how visitors find the website;
which content is useful;
how the website performs; and
how the website can be improved.

Where analytics cookies require consent, they will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

6. Legal bases for processing
Depending on the circumstances, we process personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:
Contract
We need certain information to enter into or perform a contract with you, such as processing a workshop booking.
Legal obligation
We may process information where necessary to comply with legal, accounting, tax or regulatory obligations.
Consent
We rely on consent where the law requires it, including certain marketing communications, optional cookies and certain processing of health-related information.
You can withdraw consent at any time.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Legitimate interests
We may process information where necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Examples may include:

website security;
preventing fraud or misuse;
maintaining customer records;
responding to enquiries;
improving our services; and
certain direct marketing activities where permitted by law.

7. Who may receive your personal data?
We do not sell your personal data.
We may share relevant personal data with trusted service providers where necessary to operate the business and provide our services.
These may include providers of:

website hosting;
website development;
email services;
email marketing;
payment processing;
booking and scheduling;
online membership platforms;
video hosting;
customer relationship management;
analytics;
accounting;
cloud storage;
IT and technical support; and
legal or professional services.

These providers may process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide their services to us and, where they act as processors, under appropriate contractual arrangements as required by applicable law.

8. Payment providers
When you purchase a workshop or other paid service, payment may be processed by a third-party payment provider.
Depending on the payment method used, the payment provider may collect and process information such as:

name;
email address;
billing information;
transaction amount;
transaction date;
payment method; and
payment status.

The payment provider may process your information under its own privacy policy.
We encourage you to review the privacy information of the payment provider used at checkout.

9. International data transfers
Some service providers we use may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful under applicable data protection legislation.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

a European Commission adequacy decision;
Standard Contractual Clauses;
appropriate supplementary safeguards; or
another lawful transfer mechanism recognised by applicable law.

The GDPR requires transparency regarding international transfers and the safeguards used for them.

10. How long do we keep your personal data?
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law.
Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
For example:
Booking and transaction information
We may retain booking, payment and transaction information for as long as necessary to:

provide the service;
handle customer enquiries;
comply with accounting and tax obligations;
resolve disputes; and
establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Marketing information
If you have subscribed to marketing communications, we will retain your contact information for marketing purposes until you unsubscribe, withdraw your consent, or we otherwise determine that the information is no longer necessary.
Customer enquiries
We may retain correspondence for as long as necessary to respond to your request and maintain appropriate business records.
Website technical information
Technical and analytics information may be retained according to the applicable retention settings of the relevant service providers.
When personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted or anonymised where reasonably possible.

11. Cookies and similar technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device that can help a website remember information and operate correctly.
Cookies may be used for purposes including:

essential website functionality;
security;
preferences;
analytics;
performance;
embedded content; and
marketing, where applicable.

Essential cookies
Certain cookies may be necessary for the website to function correctly.
These cookies generally do not require consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by you.
Analytics and optional cookies
Where analytics or other non-essential cookies are used and consent is required, we will request your consent before placing them.
You may withdraw or change your cookie preferences where the website provides an appropriate cookie-management mechanism.
The European Data Protection Board notes that consent requirements can apply to cookies and similar technologies where they access or store information on a user's device.

12. Embedded content and third-party services
Our website may contain embedded content or links to third-party services.
Examples may include:

video players;
social media content;
booking systems;
payment systems;
maps;
online membership platforms; and
other external services.

When you interact with third-party embedded content, the third party may collect information about your interaction according to its own privacy policy.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information directly to them.

13. Social media
We may maintain social media profiles or use social media features on our website.
If you interact with us through social media, the relevant social media platform may process your personal information according to its own privacy policy.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party social media platforms.

14. Photos and videos taken during workshops
We may take photographs or video recordings during workshops, classes or events.
Images or recordings in which individuals are identifiable may constitute personal data.
Where we intend to use identifiable participants for promotional purposes, we will obtain appropriate consent where required.
If you do not wish to appear in promotional photography or video, please inform Sietske before the event.
You may also contact us later if you have concerns about the use of an identifiable image, subject to applicable legal rights and circumstances.
Participants must not photograph, record or publish identifiable images of other participants without their permission.

15. Health and sensitive information
Fascia Maneuvers is a body-based practice. The website describes its work in connection with physical tension, stress, pain, movement, body awareness and wellbeing.
We therefore recognise that participants may voluntarily provide information that could constitute health data.
We ask participants not to provide unnecessary medical or sensitive information through ordinary website forms, email or other unsecured communication channels.
Where sensitive information is genuinely necessary and legally processed, we will apply the safeguards required by applicable data protection law.

16. Children's privacy
Our website and services are primarily intended for adults unless a particular class or event expressly states otherwise.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children for purposes requiring consent without appropriate authorisation.
Where a service is specifically intended for children, we will apply the additional safeguards required by applicable law.

17. Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against:

unauthorised access;
accidental loss;
destruction;
alteration;
disclosure; and
other unlawful processing.

No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For this reason, while we take appropriate precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us.

18. Data breaches
If we become aware of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, we will assess the breach and take the steps required by applicable data protection law.
Where notification to a supervisory authority or affected individuals is legally required, we will make the appropriate notification within the applicable timeframe.

19. Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have the following rights:
Right of access
You can request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and request a copy of that information.
Right to rectification
You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
Right to erasure
You may ask us to delete your personal data where there is no lawful reason for us to continue processing it.
This right is not absolute. For example, we may need to retain certain information to comply with legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Right to restriction
You may ask us to restrict processing in certain circumstances.
Right to object
You may object to certain processing based on legitimate interests.
You have an absolute right to object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
Right to data portability
Where applicable, you may request that certain personal data provided by you be supplied in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or transmitted to another controller.
Right to withdraw consent
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out lawfully before consent was withdrawn.
These rights are recognised under the GDPR.

20. How to exercise your rights
To exercise your privacy rights, contact:
Email: [INSERT PRIVACY EMAIL]
Please include:

your full name;
the email address associated with your relationship with us;
the nature of your request; and
any information that may help us identify the relevant records.

We may need to request additional information to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable data protection law.

21. Complaints
If you believe that your personal data has been processed unlawfully or that we have not adequately addressed your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority.
If the business is established in the Netherlands, the relevant supervisory authority is generally the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority).
If the business is established in another EU Member State, the relevant national supervisory authority may apply.
You may also have the right to complain to the supervisory authority in the EU Member State where you live, work, or where the alleged infringement occurred, depending on the circumstances.

22. No automated decision-making
We do not currently intend to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you based solely on automated processing or profiling.
If this changes, we will provide the information required by applicable data protection law before carrying out such processing.

23. Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.
When you leave our website, we recommend reviewing the privacy policy of the website you visit.

24. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:

changes to our services;
changes to the technologies we use;
changes to our business;
