Your privacy matters here

What information I may collect

I may collect personal information such as:

• your name;
• your email address;
• your phone number, if you choose to provide it;
• the contents of any enquiry or message you send;
• basic booking or scheduling information;
• technical website data such as cookies or server logs, depending on how the site is hosted.

How your information is used

I use your information to:

• respond to enquiries;
• arrange or deliver sessions;
• communicate with you about bookings or practical arrangements;
• keep basic business records;
• maintain website security and functionality.

Lawful bases for using your information

I generally rely on the following lawful bases under UK data protection law:

• Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, manage bookings, and run Bare QiGong in a reasonable and safe way;
• Contract — where I need to use your information to provide a session or take steps at your request before providing one;
• Consent — where you have clearly chosen to provide information for a particular purpose.

How long your information is kept

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including to respond to enquiries, manage bookings, keep business records, or meet legal and accounting obligations.

If you send an enquiry but do not book, your message will usually be kept for no longer than [e.g. 12 months] unless there is a good reason to keep it longer.

Who your information may be shared with

Your information is not sold. It may be shared only where necessary with trusted service providers involved in running the website, email, or booking administration, such as:

• website hosting providers;
• email providers;
• payment or booking tools, if you add them later.

These providers should only use your information for the services they provide to Bare QiGong.
