Privacy

What we collect, why, and what we don't.

The short version: as little as we can get away with, used for what you'd expect, never sold, never shared without your say-so.

What we collect

  • Class booking and payment information through our scheduling provider, Mindbody. Their privacy policy applies in addition to this one.
  • On-Demand subscription data through our streaming provider.
  • Email-list signups through Mailchimp. We collect the email you enter and, if you give it, your first name.
  • Contact-form submissions — name, email, optional phone, the topic you selected, and the message you wrote.
  • Basic, privacy-respecting site analytics — page views and aggregate device type, never tied to identifiable individuals.

What we do with it

  • Run the studio: book your classes, take your payment, send you class reminders.
  • Send you the emails you signed up for. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
  • Reply to messages you send us through the contact form.
  • Understand which pages of the site are useful so we can improve them.

What we don't do

  • We do not sell or rent your information to anyone, ever.
  • We do not share your information with marketing partners.
  • We do not run ad-tracking scripts.

Cookies
