We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user trends. You are always free to decline our cookies.

We may provide non-personal data to third parties, where such information is combined with similar information of other users of our website. For example, we might inform third parties of the number of unique users who visit our website, the demographic breakdown of our community users, or the activities that visitors to our website engage in while on our website. The third parties to whom we may provide this information may include potential or actual advertisers, providers of advertising services (including website tracking services), commercial partners, sponsors, licensees, researchers and other similar parties.

5. Sale of Business - We reserve the right to transfer information (including your personal data) to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Andrea Rimington Yoga provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Statement and provided that the third party only uses your personal data for the purposes that you provided it to us.

6. Security - Your personal data is held by Andrea Rimington Yoga in accordance with industry best practices. We do not store your credit card information, number, expiry date or CVV security code on our servers.

Stripe automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to the stripe site, the Stripe server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher. We take all reasonable steps (including appropriate technical and organisational measures) to protect your personal data.

However, if we do become aware of having collected personally identifiable information from a user under 18 without consent of a parent or legal guardian, we will remove such information from our servers.
