4. Our lawful basis for processing

Under UK data protection law, we must have an appropriate lawful basis for using personal information.

Depending on the purpose, these may include:

Contract or steps before entering a contract: To process bookings, deliver agreed services and respond to requests about participation.

Legitimate interests: To respond to relevant enquiries, administer our organisation, maintain appropriate records and improve our services, where those interests are not overridden by individuals' rights and freedoms.

Legal obligations: To comply with applicable accounting, regulatory, safeguarding and other legal requirements.

Consent: Where we ask for permission for a particular activity, such as optional communications or other uses requiring consent.

Where we need to process sensitive information, including relevant health or disability information, we will identify an additional lawful condition under Article 9 of the UK GDPR. Where explicit consent is the appropriate condition, we will seek it separately.

5. Children's information and safeguarding

Inner Light works with children and families, including children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

We take particular care when handling information about children.

Where relevant, we collect information from parents, carers or other authorised individuals to support participation and communicate about a child's needs.

We limit access to this information to people who have a legitimate reason to use it.

We do not publish identifiable information about children, their health, personal circumstances or participation without appropriate permission and a lawful basis.

Where safeguarding concerns arise, it may be necessary to share relevant information with appropriate safeguarding professionals or statutory authorities, in accordance with applicable law and safeguarding responsibilities.

6. Session bookings through Momoyoga

Inner Light uses Momoyoga as its external session booking and registration platform.

When you book a session, join a waiting list or manage your registration through Momoyoga, relevant personal information is processed using that platform.

This may include your name, contact details, booking history and other registration information necessary to administer your participation.

Inner Light remains responsible for the personal information it controls in connection with its services. Momoyoga processes relevant booking data on our behalf under its applicable agreements.

Our website is hosted through Squarespace.

When you submit an enquiry through our website, the information is used to respond to your request and, where appropriate, discuss relevant services.

We use third-party technology providers to support website hosting, form processing, email communications and bookings.

These providers may process personal information on our behalf in accordance with their applicable contractual and data protection obligations.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

8. Cookies and website analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functions, embedded services, security, user preferences and website analytics.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Others may require your consent, depending on their purpose and applicable law.

Where consent is required, we will provide an appropriate mechanism for you to make and change your choices.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

  • Authorised practitioners or delivery partners where necessary for agreed services.

  • Schools, Family Hubs or commissioning partners where appropriate to the relevant programme and lawful arrangements.

  • Funders, where required for programme monitoring or reporting, using anonymised or aggregated information wherever appropriate.

We do not routinely disclose identifiable family or child information to funders for publicity or unrelated purposes.

10. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including relevant safeguarding, contractual, legal and funding obligations.

Different types of information may be subject to different retention periods.

We periodically review information held and securely delete or anonymise records when they are no longer required.

11. How we protect information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

These include appropriate access controls, use of established service providers and limiting access to information according to operational need.

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security, but we aim to handle all information with appropriate care.

12. International data transfers

Some service providers may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where international transfers occur, we will ensure that an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism or safeguard applies, as required by UK data protection law.
