Privacy Policy

Your Privacy Matters

This Privacy Policy explains how Cynthia Casal (referred to here as I, me, or my) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit cynthiacasal.com or get in touch with me. I am based in Sydney, Australia, and I handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information I Collect

I collect two kinds of information:

• Information you give me: your name, email address, and any details you include when you fill in a contact or enquiry form, sign up to my newsletter, or download a free resource.
• Information collected automatically: basic analytics such as the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, your approximate location, and the type of device and browser you use. This is gathered through cookies and similar technologies.

How I Use Your Information

• To respond to your enquiries and bookings.
• To send you the free resources or newsletter you have requested, where you have opted in.
• To understand how the website is used so I can improve it.
• To keep records and meet any legal obligations.

Cookies and Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics sets cookies that collect anonymous, aggregated information such as page views and traffic sources. This helps me improve the content and experience.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Email Marketing

If you subscribe to my newsletter or download a free guide, your email address is stored with MailerLite, the service I use to send emails. I will only send you content you have signed up for, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email.

Third Party Services

I use a small number of trusted services to run this website and my business. These providers may process limited information on my behalf, and each has its own privacy policy.

• Google Analytics, for website analytics.
• MailerLite, for email newsletters and resource delivery.
• Formspree, for handling contact and enquiry form submissions.
• Square, for bookings and payments.
• Vercel, for website hosting.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this website, including in my shop, are affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one of these links, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only ever recommend products I genuinely use and trust.

How I Share Information

I do not sell or rent your personal information. I only share it with the service providers listed above so they can help me operate the website and respond to you, or where I am required to by law.

Data Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but I work only with reputable providers who maintain strong security practices.

Your Rights

You can ask to access the personal information I hold about you, request corrections, or ask me to delete it. You can also unsubscribe from emails at any time. To make a request, just contact me using the details below.

Children's Privacy

This website is intended for adults. While I offer yoga for children, all bookings and enquiries are made by parents or guardians. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised date.
