Privacy Policy

Effective date: 12 October 2026 Last updated: 12 October 2026

Yoga with Allyson ("we", "us", "our") is a yoga business based in Jonesborough, Tennessee, USA, run by Allyson Neilson. We offer yoga classes in person and online, including classes for children.

This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to information collected through our website yogawithallyson.com, our online booking system, our email newsletter, our online classes, and our in-person classes (including any paper forms).

Information we collect

We collect only the information we need to run our classes and communicate with you.

Information you give us

• Contact details: your name, email address and phone number.

• Booking details: the classes you book, attend or cancel, and any messages you send us.

• Payment details: billing name and purchase history. Card details are entered directly into our payment processor, Stripe. We do not see or store your full card number.

• Parent or guardian details: for children's classes, the parent's or guardian's name and contact details, the child's first name and age, and an emergency contact.

• Newsletter sign-up: your name and email address if you join our mailing list.

Information collected automatically

• Website and email activity: pages visited, device and browser type, approximate location, and whether you open or click our emails. This is collected through cookies and similar tools (see "Cookies, analytics and Do Not Track").

Online classes

• When you join a live online class (hosted on Zoom or Google Meet), your name, image and voice may be visible to the teacher and other participants if your camera or microphone is on. We record our online classes on speaker view, which shows the teacher. Please keep your microphone muted. If you unmute and speak, your voice and display name, and your video if your camera is on, may be captured in the recording. This applies to adult and children's online classes.

We do not ask for health or medical information, including in our classes focused on calming an anxious mind. If you choose to tell us something personal (for example, in a message or during a class), we use it only to respond to you, we do not record it in your client file, and we do not share it.

How we use and share your information

We use your information to run our classes and keep in touch with you. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising.

We use it to:

• confirm, manage and remind you about bookings

• take payments and issue refunds

• respond to your questions

• send our newsletter, if you have signed up

• contact a parent, guardian or emergency contact about a child's class

• understand how our website is used so we can improve it

• meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations

We share it only with service providers who help us run the business:

These providers handle your information under their own privacy policies. They may store it on servers outside Tennessee.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect someone's safety, or if the business is sold or transferred.

Cookies, analytics and Do Not Track

Our website uses cookies and similar tools to keep booking working and to measure how the site is used.

• Essential cookies let you log in and book classes. The site may not work properly without them.

• Analytics (Google Analytics) show us which pages are visited and how people find our site. These tools may collect information about your activity on our site over time.

• Email tracking: Kit tells us whether our emails are opened and which links are clicked.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can also opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser opt-out add-on.

How we respond to Do Not Track signals

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. Our website does not currently change its behavior in response to these signals.

We do not allow third parties to track you across other websites for advertising.

Children's privacy

Children's classes are booked and paid for by a parent or guardian, not by the child. Our website and booking system are intended for adults.

• We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through our website, booking system or newsletter.

• A parent or guardian provides the child's details when booking, and we use them only to run the class and contact the parent or guardian.

• Children's in-person classes are not recorded. Children's online classes are held on Zoom or Google Meet and are recorded, with the recording set to show only the teacher. A parent or guardian must set up the child's online class session. Children must keep their microphone muted during online classes. If a child unmutes, their voice may be captured in the recording. Children's video, names and chat messages are not included in recordings. We ask that a parent or guardian is nearby during the class.

• We do not use children's information for marketing, and we do not add children to our mailing list.

• We do not post photos or videos of children online without written permission from a parent or guardian.

• We keep children's information only as long as needed for the classes they attend (see "How long we keep information").

If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13 without a parent's or guardian's consent, contact us and we will delete it.

Parents and guardians can ask to see, correct or delete their child's information at any time.

How we protect your information

We use password-protected accounts with our service providers and limit access to the people who need it to run classes. Paper forms from in-person classes are kept [in a locked cabinet — CONFIRM] and destroyed securely when no longer needed. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee security. If a data breach affects your information, we will notify you as required by law.

How long we keep information

• Booking and contact records: while you are an active client, and for 5 years after your last class. [CONFIRM period]

• Payment records: as long as required for tax and accounting purposes.

• Children's information: until the end of the last class term or program they attend, then deleted within [X] months. [CONFIRM period]

• Newsletter details: until you unsubscribe.

Your choices and rights

You can:

• ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you

• ask us to correct information that is wrong

• ask us to delete your information, unless we must keep it for legal or accounting reasons

• unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in every email

To make a request, email us at hello@yogawithallyson.com. We will respond within 30 days. We will not treat you differently for making a request.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top. If we make a significant change, we will also let current clients know by email.
