2. General Information on the Processing of Personal Data
We process personal data in connection with the operation of inmotion art, including memberships, classes, workshops, events, customer administration, website use, social media presence, and media recordings.
We process personal data only where there is a valid legal basis to do so. This may include the performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, our legitimate interests, or your consent. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future.
We process personal data only for specified and legitimate purposes. We aim to collect only the data that is necessary for those purposes and to retain it only for as long as necessary, unless a longer retention period is required by law or justified by the purpose of the processing.
We may share personal data with service providers and other recipients where necessary, for example in connection with website hosting, payment processing, bookkeeping, communication tools, media production, printing, or online publication. Where personal data is transferred outside the EU or the EEA, we will take steps to ensure that an appropriate level of protection is in place, as required by applicable data protection law.
Further details about the categories of personal data we process, the purposes of processing, the legal bases we rely on, the recipients of the data, and the applicable retention logic are set out in the sections below.

We process personal data in order to manage studio memberships, class participation, workshop registrations, customer records, scheduling, and related administration.
This may include your name, contact details, membership or booking information, attendance-related information, communication history, and other information you provide in connection with your participation in our studio activities.
We process this data in order to:
register and manage memberships and bookings
organise classes, workshops, and events
communicate with participants about studio activities
maintain internal customer and participation records
manage the general administration of the studio
The legal basis for this processing is generally the performance of a contract or steps taken prior to entering into a contract. In some cases, we may also process certain data in order to comply with legal obligations or on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure administration of the studio.
We may share this data with service providers where necessary, for example providers supporting booking, scheduling, communication, accounting, or website-related administration.
We retain this data only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose, unless a longer retention period is required by law or justified by the nature of the underlying relationship or record.
4. Contact and Communication
We process personal data when you contact us or when we communicate with you in connection with our studio activities.

We process this data in order to:
respond to enquiries

maintain a record of relevant communications where necessary for studio administration
The legal basis for this processing is generally the performance of a contract or steps taken prior to entering into a contract where your enquiry relates to bookings, memberships, or participation in studio activities. In other cases, we may process this data on the basis of our legitimate interests in managing communications and operating the studio efficiently. Where you voluntarily provide information or request a service that requires further processing, consent may also be relevant in specific cases.
We may use third-party communication or platform services, including email providers, website contact tools, messaging services, and social media platforms. Where such services process personal data, their own privacy terms may also apply. For more information about Google’s data practices, including Gmail, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.

issue invoices and record payments
manage fees for memberships, classes, workshops, events, and other studio services

7. Social Media Presence
We maintain a presence on social media platforms in order to share studio updates, class information, events, announcements, media content, and other information related to inmotion art.
When you interact with our social media accounts, personal data may be processed both by us and by the relevant platform provider.

We process this data in order to:
communicate with our community
respond to enquiries and messages

maintain an active online presence for the studio
The legal basis for this processing may depend on the nature of the interaction. Processing may be based on our legitimate interests in presenting and communicating our studio activities online, on the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps where your enquiry relates to participation in studio activities, or on your consent where this is specifically required.
Please note that the relevant social media platform may also process personal data for its own purposes. For more information about Instagram and Facebook’s data practices, please refer to Meta’s Privacy Policy.
We have limited control over how social media platforms process data for their own purposes. Where you interact with us through such platforms, the platform provider’s own privacy terms and settings may also apply.
We retain social media-related communication and interaction data only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose, unless a longer retention period is required by law or justified by the nature of the communication or the underlying relationship.
8. Media Recordings
We may create and process media recordings in connection with our studio activities, including classes, workshops, events, performances, rehearsals, special projects, and other activities related to inmotion art.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, media recordings may include photographs, video images, and, where applicable, ambient, indirect, or direct audio recordings.
Media recordings may capture participants, teachers, guest artists, visitors, or other individuals present during studio activities. This may include identifiable images, moving images, voice recordings, or other visual and audio elements connected to a particular class, event, or activity.
We process media recordings for the following purposes:
internal archive and studio documentation
online publication on studio-controlled channels, including our website and social media presence
printed publications, including posters, flyers, yearbooks, magazines, and other studio-related printed materials
Media recordings may also be used to document the development, atmosphere, and activities of the studio, to present our artistic and educational work, and to communicate with current or prospective participants and the wider public.
The legal basis for the processing of media recordings depends on the purpose and the specific circumstances. Where identifiable media recordings are created or used for publication, promotional purposes, printed materials, or direct audio use, processing may be based on your consent where required by applicable law. In some limited cases, processing may also be based on our legitimate interests, for example where this is necessary for internal documentation or the secure and effective operation of studio activities, provided that such interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of the persons concerned.
We may share media recordings with service providers and recipients where necessary, including photographers, videographers, editors, designers, website providers, social media platforms, cloud storage providers, print providers, and other technical or creative service providers involved in the production, storage, publication, or distribution of studio media.
Where media recordings are published online or processed through third-party digital services, personal data may be transferred outside the EU or the EEA. In such cases, we will seek to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place where required by applicable data protection law.
We retain media recordings only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose. Raw recordings may be reviewed, selected, edited, archived, published, or deleted depending on the intended use and the applicable legal basis. Selected recordings may be retained for internal archive purposes or for ongoing publication use where this remains necessary and justified.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. A withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
If you wish to withdraw consent or have questions about the use of media recordings, you may contact us using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.
Further details about consent choices for media recordings may be provided separately through a dedicated consent form or similar declaration, where applicable.
