Your privacy is important to us here at Osho Leela. This privacy document describes our policies and procedures on the collection, use and storage of your personal data. This document explains your privacy rights and how the law protects you and your choices.

Our Privacy Promise to you

The type of personal information we collect 

We currently collect and process the following information:

  • Full name and email address when you subscribe to our Newsletter via the form on the website. Your telephone number is also requested when contacting us using our Contact Form although this is not mandatory.
  • If you perform a transaction such as booking an event, workshop or festival we collect your name, email and phone number.
  • When you browse our website we collect the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet.  This identifies you as an anonymous individual.

  • Some workshops we may require extra information to ensure we can support you and the group during that process. This will be by your consent.

How we get the personal information and why we have it

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you when you make a booking, contact us, or subscribe to our newsletter.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:

  • Legitimate Interest: If you contact us it is clearly in your legitimate interest for us to process your data and respond to your enquiry. We may also occasionally send you informative updates that are relevant to your enquiry.
  • Consent: We collect explicit consent when customers subscribe for our marketing newsletter.

We use cookies as a form of tracking technology on our website. Tracking Cookies are small pieces of information sent by an organisation to your computer and stored on your local hard drive to allow that website to recognise you when you return. Cookies collect statistical data about your browsing actions and patterns and do not identify you as an individual.

How we store your personal information 

We take all precautions necessary to ensure your data is treated securely and is not inappropriately accessed, misplaced, altered or destroyed. Please take care not to share sensitive information in normal correspondence as this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
