Controlling your personal information
How long do we keep your data?
We only keep personal information for as long as is necessary to be able to deliver our services to you or to fulfil the contractual relationship between us. This will vary depending on our relationship with you – see below:
• Clients: We’ll keep your information for two years after you have stopped attending classes or last attended an event or a retreat.
• Teachers, volunteers, speculative teachers and speculative volunteers: We’ll keep your information for as long as is necessary for the employment/volunteering relationship between us, and until two years after you last taught a class/ event/ retreat/ outreach event or carried out a volunteering activity. For speculative teachers/volunteers we will retain your information for two years after you have submitted an application form or query.
• Outreach or corporate partners: We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to carry out our services to you, and for period of two years thereafter.
We will carry out regular, 6-monthly reviews of all registration forms and registers and we’ll delete any data that is no longer in use. “In use” means an individual is still attending classes, events or retreats, or is a teacher, volunteer, speculative teacher or speculative volunteer within the two-year timescale outlined above.
Where you have given consent to us processing your details for marketing, we’ll keep the relevant information until you withdraw this consent (see Withdrawing consent to using your information below).
Access to and correcting your information – It’s important to us to make sure that the personal information that we hold about you is accurate, complete and up to date. If you think any of the information we hold about you doesn’t meet these standards, you can let us know by contacting us on the details at the end of this statement. You can also contact us to ask for a copy of the personal information that we hold about you.
Deletion of your information – You have the right to ask us to delete personal information about you where:
• You consider that we no longer require the information for the purposes for which it was obtained
• You have withdrawn your consent to us using your information for direct marketing – see Consent to marketing communications below
• Our use of your personal information is contrary to law
Restricting how we may use your information – In certain cases, you may ask us to restrict how we use your personal information. For example, you no longer attend classes but you don’t want us to delete your data, as you would like to stay informed about Edinburgh Community Yoga. In this case, we may only use the relevant personal information with your consent, for legal claims or where there are other public interest grounds to do so.
