This Privacy Policy explains how Yoga with Uma handles your personal data when you visit this website, send an enquiry, join the newsletter, or sign up for the Ghar-ma Studio waitlist.

1. Data controller

Uma Sigdel, trading as Yoga with Uma (Uma Yoga and wellness tmi)

Business ID: 3434407-1

Helsinki, Finland

Email: gharma@yogawithuma.com

2. Personal data we collect

  • Contact enquiries: your name, email address, subject, message, and any information you choose to include in your message.
  • Newsletter signups: your first name, email address, consent status, and signup time.
  • Ghar-ma Studio waitlist signups: your email address and signup time.
  • Technical information: limited security and service logs needed to operate and protect the website, such as request times and technical error information.
  • Analytics information: information about how the website is used, only if analytics is introduced and you have given consent through the cookie settings.

3. Why we use your data and our legal basis

  • To read and respond to your enquiry, based on our legitimate interest in communicating with people who contact us and, where relevant, taking steps at your request before entering into an agreement.
  • To send newsletters and updates you requested, based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
  • To notify you about the Ghar-ma Studio launch and launch offer, based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
  • To keep the website secure, prevent spam, investigate errors, and maintain reliable service, based on our legitimate interests.
  • To use non-essential analytics, if introduced, based only on your prior consent.

4. Service providers and international transfers

We use Lovable to host and operate this website, its database, and its form and email services. Website form data and mailing list records are processed through this service. The website database is hosted in the European Union.

Contact enquiries and signup notifications are delivered to gharma@yogawithuma.com. Our business email is provided through Google Workspace (Google Ireland Limited), which acts as our data processor under the Google Workspace data processing terms. Your enquiry contents, including your name, email address, subject, and message, therefore pass through and may be stored on Google's infrastructure, including servers in the United States. Such transfers are protected by the Data Privacy Framework between the EU and the United States and the European Commission's standard contractual clauses included in Google's data processing terms.

We do not sell your personal data or share it with third parties for their own advertising purposes.

5. How long we keep your data

  • Contact enquiries are normally kept for up to 12 months after our last contact, unless a longer period is needed for an ongoing service, agreement, legal claim, or accounting obligation.
  • Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
  • Ghar-ma Studio waitlist details are kept until launch communications are complete, you withdraw your consent, or you ask us to delete them.
  • Essential security and service logs are kept only for as long as reasonably needed to protect and maintain the website.

6. How we protect your data

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. These include encrypted connections, restricted access, protected form processing, spam controls, and access rules for stored records. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we limit access to what is necessary.

7. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to access your personal data, correct inaccurate data, request deletion or restriction, object to processing, and receive data you provided in a portable format. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting processing that already took place.

To exercise your rights, email gharma@yogawithuma.com. We may need to confirm your identity before completing your request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman in Finland at tietosuoja.fi.

8. Cookies

Essential cookies are used to remember your cookie choices and support basic website functions. Non-essential analytics cookies are used only with your consent. You can change your choices at any time through Cookie Settings in the footer. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services or legal obligations change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
