Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and look after your personal information.
Who we are
AWHI Yoga & Wellbeing ("AWHI", "we", "us") operates the studio at Level 2, 15 Johnston Street, Wellington, and the website awhiyoga.co.nz. We are committed to handling your personal information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its information privacy principles.
What we collect
- Booking and account details — your name, email address, and phone number when you create an account or book classes, workshops, or training through our booking provider (Momence).
- Payment information — payments are processed by our booking provider and its payment processor. We do not store your full card details on our own systems.
- Health and safety information — anything you choose to tell us or your teacher that is relevant to practising safely (for example injuries or pregnancy). We treat this as sensitive and use it only to support your practice.
- Enquiries and newsletter — your contact details and message when you fill in a form on our contact page, email us, or subscribe to our newsletter.
- Website analytics — anonymised usage data collected through Google Analytics and Vercel Web Analytics (pages viewed, approximate location, device type). This does not identify you personally.
How we use it
- To manage your bookings, memberships, passes, and teacher-training enrolments.
- To communicate with you about classes, schedule changes, events, and — if you've opted in — our newsletter.
- To keep our classes safe and tailored to the people in the room.
- To understand how our website is used so we can improve it.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers who make our studio run: our booking and payment platform (Momence), our email/newsletter provider, and our website analytics providers (Google, Vercel). Some of these providers store information outside New Zealand; where they do, we rely on their compliance with privacy safeguards comparable to New Zealand law.
How long we keep it
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes above, or as required by law (for example, financial records). You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email.
Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020 you have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it. To do either, email kiaora@awhiyoga.co.nz. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (privacy.org.nz).
Cookies and analytics
Our website uses cookies set by Google Analytics and our embedded booking and review widgets. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be on this page.
