Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe.

We only collect what we need to run The Old Bakery effectively and responsibly.

2. Who we are

The Old Bakery is a community wellbeing, movement and creativity hub in Newhaven, run by The Old Bakery Newhaven CIC (company number 17333181), a community interest company registered in England and Wales.

If you have any questions about this policy or your data, you can contact us at:

rori @roriyoga.co.uk

3. What information we collect

  • Information you provide directly

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Any ideas, requests or expressions of interest you share with us about the space, its programme, or getting involved

  • Any details you include in messages or enquiry forms

  • Website usage data

  • Basic analytics (e.g. pages visited, time on site)

  • Collected via cookies or similar technologies

We are not currently collecting health information through this website. If that changes in future (for example, once bookings for specific sessions go live), we will update this policy first.

4. How we use your information

We use your information to:

5. Legal basis for processing

Under UK GDPR, we rely on:

  • Legitimate interest — to respond to enquiries, act on expressions of interest, and run our work

  • Consent — if you choose to receive marketing or update emails

You can withdraw consent at any time.

6. How your data is stored

Your information is stored securely using trusted platforms (such as our website provider, email provider, and enquiry or form tools). We take reasonable steps to protect your data and only keep it for as long as necessary.

7. Sharing your data

We do not sell or share your personal information for marketing purposes.

Your data may be shared with essential service providers (e.g. email or website platforms), only where necessary to run the website and respond to you.
