Privacy Policy

St. Albert Bikram Yoga has and will make every effort to ensure that each yogi’s personal information is protected while it is in the care of the studio. Our privacy policy and practices comply with Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). All members of St. Albert Bikram Yoga (owners, employees, contractors, volunteers) have been trained in the Act (have access to an employee privacy handbook) and can explain why we collect, use and disclose personal information. If you have any questions, please contact the owner Melissa Dechaine at Melissa@stalbertbikramyoga.com.

Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

We collect the following personal information on the registration form: name, address, email address, business and home phone numbers, length and type of yoga experience and occupation. We collect it to record payment and attendance records, to note injuries or individual practice needs, to notify our students of studio promotions or schedule changes, to keep in touch with lapsed students and to provide on-going service. We may use this information to compile internal marketing information.

We collect the information from individual class sign-up sheets for marketing, to monitor class sizes, and for emergencies. This information is not disclosed. St. Albert Bikram Yoga collects credit card information to use as payment from students. We will not collect, use or disclose any personal information for any other purposes without explicit consent except where PIPA allows.

Consent

Our students consent to the collection, use and disclosure of their private information for the reasons given when they fill in the registration forms, provide names for the class lists and use credit cards to pay for classes.

Storing and Safeguarding Your Personal Information

We keep students’ personal information on file while they are practicing, and for one year after or as long as other laws such as taxation and liability bind us. St. Albert Bikram Yoga uses password protection and secure storage to protect your personal information. As well, all of our staff members are trained to keep information secure and confidential. All financial information is stored off the premises.

If you want to see your personal information please ask. In some circumstances the law prevents us from providing access to information.
