PRIVACY POLICY & GDPR.

GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR).

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European law that takes effect from 25 May 2018. The legislation will affect anyone living inside the EU and any organisation that holds the data of EU residents.

GDPR replaces the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). GDPR is designed to strengthen the DPA and to give EU citizens more control over how organisations use their data – with large fines introduced for organisations that do not comply.

Key rights from GDPR:

  • Right to be informed: You, as a client of Anna Kirs Pilates, can ask about personal data, how it is used, and why it is being used at any time.

  • Right of access: You, as a client of Anna Kirs Pilates can request a copy of personal information I hold about you at any time.

  • Right of rectification: You, as a client of Anna Kirs Pilates can update (or request updates to) personal information at any time.

  • Right of erasure: You, as a client of Anna Kirs Pilates may request that I erase your personal data, cease further dissemination of the data, and potentially have third parties halt processing of the data.

  • Right to object: You, as a client of Anna Kirs Pilates can request that I cease to process your data based on legitimate interest or for direct marketing.

If you attend my private or semi-private classes, Anna Kirs Pilates will collect data from you on a Health Form. This is data that is necessary so that I know any Health Issues that could affect your ability in class, and enables me to keep you safe. It is also needed to validate my insurance.

All Health Forms are stored electronically on a GDPR safe Cloud-Based system which only I, Anna Kirs have access to. Health Forms may be shown to other Teachers who may teach your classes (in case of emergencies), but they do not keep hold of a copy.

As well as my database, your personal information is held in my Accountancy Software Fortnox & booking system BookaDirekt. These are password protected and compliant with GDPR policies. Your contact details are not shared with anyone else and I do not share email lists or sell my data.
