1. Who We Are

Welcome to Hypnobirthing Bromsgrove ("we", "our", "us"). We provide independent hypnobirthing courses through our website www.hypnobirthingbromsgrove.co.uk. We act as the Data Controller for the personal information you share with us. If you have any questions, you can contact us at angie@hypnobirthingbromsgrove.co.uk.

2. The Data We Collect and Why

Because we provide prenatal and birthing education, we may collect information directly from you when you fill out forms, book a course, or sign up for updates:

• Contact Information: Name, email address, and phone number so we can process your bookings and contact you about your course.

• Sensitive Health Data: To best tailor our hypnobirthing instruction, you may voluntarily share your estimated due date, birth preferences, pregnancy experiences, or health notes. We treat this information with strict confidentiality.

• Technical Data: IP addresses, browser types, and usage data automatically collected via Squarespace cookies to run our standard site analytics.

3. Our Lawful Basis for Processing

Under the UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases to process your information:

• Contract: To deliver the hypnobirthing courses you buy from us.

• Consent: When you explicitly choose to share personal pregnancy details or sign up for our newsletter.

• Explicit Consent (Health Data): By choosing to provide pregnancy details or birth preferences in our forms, you grant us explicit consent to process that information solely for your course guidance. You can withdraw this consent at any time.

4. How We Share and Store Your Data

We strictly protect your data and never sell it to third parties. We only share data with essential processors needed to run our business, such as Squarespace (website hosting and analytics), Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link by Stripe.

Your details are stored securely and kept only as long as necessary to complete your training and fulfil our financial bookkeeping obligations.

5. Cookies and Tracking
