When you contact us through forms, subscribe to newsletters, or book workshops through our Wix booking system, we may collect: your name, email address, phone number, payment information (processed securely by Wix or its payment partners), and any other details you choose to share.
Information collected automatically
Because our website is built on Wix, certain information is collected automatically when you browse the site. This may include your IP address, device information, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This happens through cookies and similar technologies (see the Cookie section below for detail).

We use your personal information to:
• respond to enquiries
• manage workshop bookings and participation
• send updates or newsletters, if you have opted in
• improve website performance and user experience

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data based on one or more of the following lawful grounds under UK GDPR:
• your consent
• the performance of a contract (for example, workshop bookings)
• our legitimate interests in running and improving our organisation and website
• compliance with legal obligations
4. Cookies
Wix uses cookies to help the website function properly and to provide analytics about how visitors use the site.
Different types of cookies may be used, including:
• cookies necessary for site functionality (for example, enabling bookings and security)

• cookies placed by Wix apps or third-party integrations, if active
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that switching off essential cookies may affect how the website works.

These providers must handle data securely and in line with UK GDPR.
We do not share your data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
6. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored securely through Wix’s systems or other trusted providers we use. We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. Access is limited to people who need it for operational purposes.
7. How Long We Keep Your Data
