  • Business Transfers: We may transfer information in connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable confidentiality and legal requirements.

We do not share personal information with third parties for their own standalone direct marketing purposes unless you separately consent.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, tags, SDKs, and similar technologies to operate our website, remember preferences, understand how users interact with our Services, improve website performance, and support analytics, communications, and marketing.

Depending on the tools we use, these technologies may be set by us or by third-party providers. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. If you disable certain cookies or similar technologies, some site features may not function properly.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical precautions, consistent with the nature, scope, and size of our studio and the type of information we collect, to help protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet, electronic storage, or other mode of data handling is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a suspected or confirmed data breach, we will act prudently and in accordance with applicable legal requirements, including taking steps we determine are appropriate to investigate, mitigate, and provide any required notices.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain business and booking records, comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our legitimate business interests. When personal information is no longer needed, we will delete, de-identify, or securely dispose of it as appropriate.

You may have the following choices, subject to applicable law:

  • Marketing Emails: You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us.

  • Marketing Text Messages: You may opt out of marketing text messages by replying as instructed in the message or by contacting us, subject to the terms of the applicable messaging program.

9.  Children, Teens, and Family Programming

Our Website and Services are intended primarily for adults, and are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children in a manner inconsistent with applicable law.

If we offer teen, family, or kids yoga classes, workshops, camps, or related programming, participation by minors requires parent or guardian registration, consent, waivers, and other permissions. In those circumstances, we may collect information from a parent or legal guardian, and we may collect limited information relating to the participating minor as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain safety, and administer the program.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.

10. Links to Third-Party Sites and Services

Our website or communications may contain links to third-party websites, apps, booking tools, payment services, social media platforms, or other services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and their practices are governed by their own policies.

11.  California Privacy Notice

This section applies to California residents to the extent required by applicable law and supplements the rest of this Policy. We may collect and use the categories of personal information described elsewhere in this Policy for the business and commercial purposes described in Sections 3, 4, and 5.

We do not knowingly sell personal information for monetary consideration. California residents may have certain rights, subject to verification and applicable exceptions, including rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, information about our collection and disclosure practices, and non-discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights. If our practices change in a way that triggers additional California-specific notice or opt-out obligations, we will update this Policy accordingly

12.  Additional U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have privacy rights under applicable state laws, including rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, as well as rights to opt out of certain types of processing such as targeted advertising, sale of personal data, or profiling in furtherance of certain decisions, where applicable.

Because privacy laws vary by state and may change over time, we will evaluate and respond to verified requests in accordance with the law that applies to the particular request and our processing activities.

13. International Users

Hillside Yoga and Wellness is based in the United States. If you access our Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate, which may have data protection laws different from those in your home jurisdiction.

If the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the UK GDPR applies to our processing of your personal data, we will rely on an appropriate legal basis, such as consent, performance of a contract, legitimate interests, or compliance with legal obligations. Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Where required, we will use an appropriate legal mechanism for international transfers of personal data, such as standard contractual clauses or another recognized safeguard. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a relevant supervisory authority.

14. Communications and Social Media

We may send you transactional or relationship messages, such as receipts, confirmations, schedule updates, account notices, policy updates, and customer service communications. We may also send you marketing emails and text messages, and we may use social media platforms to communicate with our community, promote our Services, and share studio-related content.

If you interact with us on social media, any content you submit or make publicly available may be visible to others, subject to the privacy settings and practices of the relevant platform.

15. Governing Law and Venue

This Privacy Policy, and any dispute arising out of or relating to this Privacy Policy or our handling of personal information, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of laws principles. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the state and federal courts located in or serving Troup County, Georgia, shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any such dispute, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will post the updated version with a revised Effective Date. Your continued use of the Services after an update becomes effective indicates your acceptance of the revised Policy, to the extent permitted by law.
