We consider whether our interests are proportionate and whether our use of information could unfairly affect your rights.

5 Health information

We will only use health information where we have both a lawful basis and an additional legal condition for processing special category information. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

•  Your explicit consent

•  Protecting someone’s vital interests during an emergency

•  Complying with an applicable legal obligation

•  Establishing, exercising or defending a legal claim

Where we rely on explicit consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect information used before consent was withdrawn. We may retain limited information after consent is withdrawn where this is required by law or necessary in connection with an incident or legal claim.

6 Marketing

We may send you news, offers and information about YOYO Yard where you have actively subscribed, specifically agreed to receive it, or where the law allows us to contact an existing customer about similar services and we provided an opportunity to opt out.

You can unsubscribe at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link in an email or emailing hello@yoyoyard.co.uk. We may retain your email address on a suppression list so that we do not accidentally contact you again.

Booking confirmations, safety information, payment messages and important information about an existing booking or membership are service messages rather than marketing. We do not sell customer information or customer mailing lists.

7 Who we share information with

Where necessary, we may share information with trusted service providers, including:

•  Wix, which hosts and supports our main website and contact forms

•  Google Analytics, which helps us understand website usage where you have accepted analytics cookies

•  Periode, which provides sauna booking and membership services

•  Lodgify, which provides accommodation booking services

•  Event organisers, instructors or course leaders where necessary

•  Accountants, lawyers, insurers and professional advisers

•  Contractors supporting our premises or services

•  Emergency services, regulators, courts or law enforcement bodies where required or permitted by law

•  A purchaser, investor or professional adviser if our business or assets are reorganised, sold or transferred

These organisations may act as processors following our instructions or as independent controllers with their own privacy notices. If you follow a link to an external booking, payment or social media platform, that provider may collect information directly from you under its own privacy notice. We only share information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

8 International transfers

Some providers, including Wix, Google, Stripe and Square, may store or access information outside the United Kingdom. Where the law requires it, we use or require an appropriate international transfer safeguard. This may include transfer to a country covered by UK adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to approved contractual clauses or another safeguard permitted under UK data protection law. You may contact us for further information about the safeguards applying to your information.

10 Cookies and Google Analytics

Our website and connected booking services use cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website, security, bookings and payments to work. These do not normally require consent.

Other cookies are optional. These may include analytics cookies used by Google Analytics, functionality cookies, advertising or marketing cookies, and cookies placed by embedded content or social media services.

Where consent is required, optional cookies will only be used after you have made a choice through our cookie banner. You should be able to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies and change or withdraw your choice later.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser, although this may affect website functionality. Further information about individual cookies, their providers, purposes and expiry periods is available through our website’s cookie settings.

Google Analytics provides us with aggregated information about website visits and usage. We do not use Google Analytics to make decisions about individual customers.

11 Security

We use appropriate organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. Access is limited to staff, contractors and providers who reasonably need the information for their work. Where appropriate, they are subject to confidentiality and data protection obligations.

No online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If you believe information you have provided has been compromised, please contact us promptly.
