T&C, Privacy & GDPR
1. Privacy Policy & GDPR
We are Elan Agency SRL (“we”, “us”, “our”), and are committed to protecting your privacy. Elan Agency SRL is the controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) a company registered in Romania (Reg. Com J40/8590/2012 and CUI RO30272668), with its registered office located at Str. Dimitrie Draghiescu 4, Sector 5, Bucharest, Romania. Yoga with Laura is a brand owned by Elan Agency SRL.
We are committed to a robust, transparent policy governing how data is collected, stored, and shared. This document will outline what information we collect, why we collect it, and whom we share it with. We also outline how you may request access to your data and how you can update or delete your data (“Privacy Policy”).
We have kept this Privacy Policy simple by avoiding long, confusing legalese in favour of a simple, straightforward overview of how we ensure and respect your privacy. If anything is not clear, or you’d like to talk through any part of this Privacy Policy, please contact us at laura.elan@gmail.com
​
i. Who’s Involved?
When it comes to collecting data about customers on this website or app (together, the “Site”) there are three parties to mention:
-
Yoga with Laura a brand of Elan Agency SRL also under “we”, “us” or “our". Elan Agency SRL owns the Site and it provides Yoga with Laura services (the “Services”).
-
Yoga with Laura's Customer (“Customer”, “you”, “your”). That’s you, the person who uses the Services.
-
WIX as a provider of the booking software, website tracking, information collection etc.
​
ii. What types of information do we collect?
Personal data means any information relating to a person who can be identified either directly or indirectly; it may include name, address, email address, phone number, gender, age, credit / debit card number, next of kin / emergency contact details, IP address, location data, purchase history (“Personal Data”). We have categorised Personal Data into two sub-categories: Identity Data and Usage Data.
Identity Data
We use WIX's services to provide a booking system on our Site to facilitate the relationship between us and our Customers. WIX collects Personal Data from our Customers on our behalf. The Personal Data that WIX collects will be your name, email address, phone number, payment details and sometimes may include other information that we ask them to collect (“Identity Data”). Once WIX has collected your Identity Data we are able to access and use that Identity Data (you can see how and why we use your Identity Data below).
Usage Data
As part of its business operations, WIX collects information about how Customers interact with the Site and the WIX system. This will include your IP address, browser, operating system, referral source, length of visit, and clickstream data (“Usage Data”). Your Usage Data contains an identifier that allows WIX to determine which Customer made the request. This Usage Data is used to troubleshoot, analyse, optimize, and improve the Service, and is retained by WIX indefinitely for compliance and troubleshooting purposes. Yoga & Beyond also intermittently checks and analyses Customer activity and Usage Data through the WIX system. This helps us to better understand our business and improve the Services and the Site. What this all means is that Wix and Yoga & Beyond are both data controllers in relation to your Personal Data.
​
iii. How do we collect personal information?
Identity Data is collected when you provide it directly to WIX or, if you have asked us to, sometimes we will share your data with WIX so that you can use our Services (for example if you are switching to WIX from an alternate system, or we are setting up your account for you, or when you ring us up and ask to book into a particular class rather than using the Site yourself).
Usage Data is automatically collected as you interact with the Site. Usage Data is automatically collected by using cookies and other similar technologies.
​
Cookies
Like most websites, the Site uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are saved by your browser when you access the Site. These cookies help us and WIX to: identify when you’ve logged into the Site, collect Usage Data, prevent against abuse, and generally provide the Site. You may choose to not accept some or all of the cookies through your browser’s preferences, but you may not be able to access some or all of the Site and our Services if you do so. Wix also uses third party analytics services that use cookies to help analyse usage of the Site (including Google Analytics). These analytics services also collect Usage Data on WIX and our behalf.
​
iv. How we use personal information
We will only use your Personal Data when the law allows us to. Your consent, as the data subject, to the processing as specified in this Privacy Policy is the primary legal ground for our processing of your Personal Data. In some circumstance we may also rely on other valid legal grounds, most commonly, we will use your Personal Data in the following circumstances:
-
Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
-
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
-
Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
Your Personal Data will only be used in ways that are in line with why it was originally provided. For example, we will not contact someone designated as your emergency contact for marketing purposes.
​
We use your Personal Data:

We will also let you know if a service is disrupted or changed. We also, from time to time, will send marketing emails to our Customers who have not opted out of marketing communications. These marketing emails will only contain information that we think will be of interest to you because it relates to services that you have already purchased from us. These marketing communications will always come from us, not third parties and they will always include the option to unsubscribe from future marketing.

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. By law we have to keep basic information about our customers for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see below for further information. In some circumstances we may anonymise your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

If a Customer commits to the waiting list and is then given a space in the class, they have confirmed the place and are subject to the Terms.

iii. Cancellations
3.1 Cancellations policies vary from event to event and will be stated on the terms and conditions on the relevant service when you book it. Each business will have a stated cancellation window, which will apply to each class. For example – if a business states that it has a 12 hour cancellation policy, all cancellations must occur more than 12 hours before the start of the class in order to receive the credit back from that booking.
3.2 Where cancellations are made outside that window (i.e a sufficient time before the start of the class), credit will be added back to the relevant account. Cancellations made inside the cancellation window will not be refunded and the credit will be deducted.
3.3 Deductions from multiple class passes operate under the same terms as stated in 3.1 & 3.2 – if a Customer books into a class with a multiple class pass, the deduction will be made from the pass unless the cancellation is made within the relevant time period.

The Company will not be liable for any other incurred costs or damages to the Customers from a cancellation.
3.7 Memberships and class pass terms may vary from business to business, but all passes and memberships have terms clearly stated at point of purchase.

5.4 New Customers may be asked to fill out a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire or may be asked about their physical fitness directly by the instructor, so the Company is better informed of the Customer’s physical condition.
