YogaHub Bristol Privacy Policy
Background
​
I understand that your privacy is important to you and that you care about how your personal data is used. I respect and value the privacy of all of my yoga clients and will only collect and use personal data in ways that are described here, and in a way that is consistent with my obligations and your rights under the law.
​
1. Information About Me Meriel Hubbard.
​
Yoga Teacher (Sole Trader) contact@yogahubbristol.com
​
2. What Does This Notice Cover?
​
This Privacy Information explains how I use your personal data: how it is collected, how it is held, and how it is processed. It also explains your rights under the law relating to your personal data.
​
3. What Is Personal Data?
​
Personal data is defined by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, “the Data Protection Legislation”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.
​
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
​
The personal data that I use is set out in Part 5, below.
4. What Are My Rights?
​
Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which I will always work to uphold:
​
a) The right to be informed about my collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Notice should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact me to find out more or to ask any questions using the details in Part 11.
b) The right to access the personal data I hold about you. Part 10 will tell you how to do this.
c) The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by me is inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact me using the details in Part 11 to find out more.
d) The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask me to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that I hold. Please contact me using the details in Part 11 to find out more.
e) The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.
f) The right to object to me using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
g) The right to withdraw consent. This means that, if I am relying on your consent as the legal basis for using your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time.
h) The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to me directly, I am using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask me for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.
i) Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. I do not use your personal data in this way.
​
For more information about my use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact me using the details provided in Part 11.
​
It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up-to-date. If any of the personal data I hold about you changes, please keep me informed as long as I have that data.
​
Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
​
If you have any cause for complaint about my use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office. I would welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns myself, however, so please contact me first, using the details in Part 11.

Normally, I aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time.
