Privacy

Introduction

Your privacy is important to us. We believe it is important for you to know what personal data we, Yoga Nebula (“YOGANEBULA” or “we”), collect from you (and third parties), why we collect it, how we use it and what rights you might be entitled to as a data subject or consumer.

For residents (data subjects) of the European Union, when we collect and use personal data (information) about you, we may be subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) of the European Union and responsible as a ‘data controller’ for such personal data.

For residents (consumers) of the United States, when we collect and use personal information about you, we may be subject to the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) and responsible as a ‘business’ or ‘service provider’ for such personal data.

Please note: all information in this privacy notice is applicable to you unless otherwise indicated based on your residency status. If you are a resident of the European Union, references to GDPR will be applicable to you. If you are a resident of the Unites States, references to the CCPA will be applicable to you.

We are required under data protection legislation to notify you of the information contained in this privacy notice. It is important that you read this notice, together with any additional and more specific information we may provide to you on various occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data on certain specific websites, products or applications, events and initiatives so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information. (We issue a different privacy statement which applies where there is an employment relationship between YOGANEBULA and its employees.)

How we will use your personal information

We may collect different kinds of personal information in a number of different ways and use it for a number of different purposes:

• To ensure access to our website and online services.
  In general, you can visit YOGANEBULA on the World Wide Web without telling us who you are. Our web servers or Affiliates who provide analytics and performance enhancement services may collect:
  • IP addresses,
  • operating system details,
  • browsing details,
  • device and connectivity details, and/or
  • language settings.

This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed and similar information. YOGANEBULA uses this information to measure the site usage, improve content and to ensure safety and security as well as enhance performance and user experience of the website. In few situations, you are required to register to access a reserved area of the website: in these cases, we will also collect your username and the password.

We may also obtain data from third parties including:

• Social networks, when you grant permission to us to access your data on one or more networks through our website.
• Service providers that help us determine a location based on your IP address in order to customize offerings and content to your location.
• Partners with which we offer co-branded services or engage in joint marketing activities.

YOGANEBULA uses cookies (small text files placed on your device) and similar technologies to facilitate proper functioning of our websites and to help collect data. Please note that our websites may include links to websites of third parties whose privacy practices differ from those of YOGANEBULA; if you provide personal data to any of those websites, your data is governed by their privacy statements.

Under the GDPR, the lawful basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in enabling and improving our website and online services, or consent, where requested and obtained.

Where a hospitality service is provided, we may also collect, store and process “special categories” of more sensitive personal data, such as information regarding any dietary requirements or personal disabilities. This will be done only and to the extent permitted by the law. Events might be recorded hence pictures and video of you may be collected too; in such case, you will be informed via a specific notice at the location of recording. This material can be used later by YOGANEBULA for further compatible purposes if you don’t object to it. In the course of these events we may collect your personal data and contact you again in order to receive feedback and provide further commercial information about YOGANEBULA; this will be done with your consent, when necessary.

We may also obtain data from third parties including:

•  Third party event organizers where the event is sponsored by YOGANEBULA. Organizers might provide the attendee list. In such cases the privacy policy of those third parties to which you provide your personal data will apply to you.

• To manage, administer and fulfill the obligations under contracts, and regulations

We will also process such personal data for ancillary tasks related to our daily business activities, such as accounting, auditing, reporting (to regulators and authorities) and to comply with applicable regulations.

We may also obtain your personal information from third parties, such as business partners, data brokers, social networks, publicly available sources and marketing companies. In such cases, we will also comply with any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data. If required by applicable legislation, we will ask for your consent separately before sending any marketing communications. You can opt-out of receiving such communications at any time using the form at the bottom of this page, writing to our Data Protection Officers or Chief Privacy Officer (see section below) or by any other given method provided from time to time (for example: unsubscribe link included at the bottom of emails).
