How the data is kept secure.

Protecting your data is important to us and therefore this website has the SSL certificate.  The padlock in the browser bar tells you your information is secure and safe. 

We will also not share your data with any third parties.

What personal data is collected, how and why it is collected.

By subscribing to Amy Olivia Bell’s newsletter, you will have to submit your Full Name and Email in order to receive the newsletters.  Newsletters will contain information about any new blog posts, classes, upcoming classes, retreats and events that Amy wishes to share.  Your Name and Email is stored online in Amy’s private account with MailChimp.  Your data will be stored until you request we delete it from the MailChimp mailing list.  You can unsubscribe to the newsletter any time. Should you have any problem doing so, have any questions, or wish for your data to completely removed from all records then please email info@amyoliviabell.com

Your data (Name & Email) may be stored in Amy’s email account contacts (info@amyoliviabell.com) should Amy need to email you regarding any booking information or other Yoga Teaching related notifications.  Amy may store your Name for her invoicing/book keeping. In both these cases (contact & accounts) your Name and Email will be stored unless you request it be deleted.

Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, WordPress collects the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.  An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
