Website and cookie data
IP address, device type, browser type, approximate location, pages visited, cookie identifiers, consent choices and website usage data.
2. How we use your personal data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To manage bookings and tickets
We use your data to process bookings, send confirmations and tickets, manage attendance, handle changes, respond to questions and deliver the class, event or package you purchased.
To process payment and accounting
We use payment and transaction data to complete purchases, issue receipts, manage refunds where relevant and comply with bookkeeping, tax and accounting obligations.
To communicate with you
We use your email address to send practical information about your booking, including confirmations, reminders, schedule changes, cancellation notices and important updates. These service emails are not marketing.
To help keep sessions safe
If you voluntarily provide health, pregnancy, allergy or injury information, we use it only to assess whether a session is suitable, adapt the experience where possible, or respond to safety concerns. Health-related information is treated with extra care.
To send marketing where allowed
We may send newsletters, launch updates, event invitations or other marketing if you have consented, or where we are otherwise allowed to do so under applicable marketing rules. You can unsubscribe at any time.
To improve our website and services
With your consent where required, we may use analytics to understand how visitors use our website and improve the booking experience, content and services.
To document and promote Tendō
Where you have consented, we may use photos, videos, testimonials or other content featuring you for social media, website, press or marketing.
To protect legal rights and security
We may process data where necessary to prevent misuse, document incidents, handle complaints, establish or defend legal claims, or comply with legal obligations.
3. Legal bases for processing
We rely on the following legal bases:
- Contract: to process bookings, payments, tickets and service communication.
- Legal obligation: to comply with accounting, tax and consumer law obligations.
- Consent: for newsletters, certain cookies, marketing images/videos and optional health information where required.
- Explicit consent: where you voluntarily provide health-related information, such as injury, pregnancy, allergy or medical information.
- Legitimate interest: to respond to enquiries, improve our services, protect our business, handle complaints and ensure basic website security, provided your rights do not override our interests.
- Vital interests: in rare cases, if processing is necessary to protect someone’s life or health in an emergency.
4. Marketing
We only send electronic marketing where we have a lawful basis to do so. You can unsubscribe from marketing at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting us at hello@tendoclub.com.
Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop necessary service emails about bookings you have made.
5. Who we share personal data with
We do not sell your personal data.
We may share personal data with trusted service providers who help us run Tendō, including:
- website and hosting providers;
- booking, calendar and ticketing providers;
- payment providers;
- email and newsletter providers;
- analytics and cookie consent providers;
- accounting and bookkeeping providers;
- IT, security and support providers.
These providers may only process personal data on our behalf and according to our instructions, unless they act as independent data controllers for their own services.
For partner events, we may share limited booking or attendance information with the relevant partner where necessary to deliver the event, for example name, ticket type or dietary/allergy information you have chosen to provide. Where a partner is an independent data controller, we will make this clear where relevant.
We may also share data with public authorities, courts, legal advisors, accountants or insurers where required by law or necessary to protect our rights.
6. International transfers
We aim to use providers located in Norway, the EU or the EEA where possible.
If personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
7. How long we keep personal data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Typical retention periods are:
Booking and attendance data:
Kept for up to 12 months after the relevant pop-up period or event, unless we need it longer to handle a complaint, legal claim or accounting obligation.
Payment and accounting data:
Kept for the period required under Norwegian bookkeeping and tax rules, normally 5 years after the end of the financial year.
Customer support and cancellation requests:
Kept for up to 12 months, unless needed longer for a dispute or legal claim.
Marketing data:
Kept until you unsubscribe or withdraw your consent.
Health, injury, pregnancy, allergy or safety information:
Deleted as soon as it is no longer needed, normally within 30 days after the relevant class or event, unless an incident, complaint or legal obligation requires longer retention.
Photos and videos:
Kept for as long as we have a valid purpose and legal basis. If the use is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect use that took place before consent was withdrawn.
Cookie consent records:
Kept for as long as necessary to document your consent choices and comply with applicable rules.
8. Your privacy rights
You have rights under privacy law, including the right to:
- request access to the personal data we hold about you;
