2. What Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when you:

• Create an account or sign up with Google OAuth
• Book or purchase a class or subscription
• Fill in a contact or inquiry form
• Communicate with us by email

This may include your name, email address, payment information (processed securely via Stripe), and any preferences or notes you share with us.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and manage your classes and account
• Process payments and send receipts
• Send class confirmations and important updates

We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not use it for advertising purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following trusted services to operate our school:

• Supabase – secure database and user authentication
• Stripe – payment processing (we never store your card details)
• Calendly – class scheduling and booking
• Google OAuth – optional sign-in with your Google account
• Resend – transactional email delivery

Each of these services has its own privacy policy and handles your data according to their terms.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely on Supabase servers in the EU region. We use industry-standard encryption and access controls. Passwords are never stored in plain text. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe and never passes through our servers.

We use minimal cookies — only those necessary for authentication and keeping you logged in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by email. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
