Privacy policy

Who we are

ShivaNova is a company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales, number 03125499. We are responsible for the personal data collected through shivanova.com.

What we collect

When you use our contact form we collect your name, email address, phone number if you give it, the type of enquiry and your message.

We do not use tracking or advertising cookies on this site.

Why we use it

We use your details only to reply to your enquiry and to follow up on it. Our lawful basis is legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us. We never sell or share your details for marketing.

Unless you contact us as a sponsor or partner, we also add your name and email to our mailing list, with a note of how you joined, so we can tell you about our work. You can ask to be removed at any time by emailing admin@shivanova.com or using the link in any mailing.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for up to two years, then delete them, unless an ongoing partnership or booking means we need to keep them longer.

Videos and other sites

Films on this site are hosted on YouTube. Nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play, using its privacy-enhanced mode. Events and workshops are booked through Equator Festival, which has its own privacy policy.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask to see, correct or delete the data we hold about you, or object to how we use it. Email us at admin@shivanova.com.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
