Special category data
Some of the services we offer — particularly healing sessions — may involve you voluntarily sharing information relating to your physical or mental health. This is considered "special category" data under UK GDPR. We handle such information with the utmost discretion, and it is used solely to provide you with appropriate care. We will always seek your explicit consent before processing this type of information.

We use personal data for the following purposes:
- To process bookings, appointments, and payments for sessions and classes

- To fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations
- To prevent fraud and maintain the security of our systems
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces significant legal effects.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:
- Contract: Processing is necessary to fulfil your bookings and deliver our services

- Legitimate interests: To operate and improve our business, respond to enquiries, and maintain security, where these interests are not overridden by your rights
- Legal obligation: Where we are required to process your data to comply with applicable law
Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Sharing Your Information
We respect the confidential nature of the work undertaken at INCENTRE and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Third-party platforms that help us operate our business, such as our booking system, payment processor, website host (Squarespace), email marketing tools, and calendar services. These providers are bound by data processing agreements and may not use your data for their own purposes.
- Modern Mystery School International: Where relevant to your practitioner certification or initiatory path, limited data may be shared with our authorising body.
- Legal requirements: Where disclosure is required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of INCENTRE, our staff, or others.
- Business transfer: In the unlikely event that INCENTRE is transferred to a new owner, your data may form part of the transferred assets. You will be notified in such a circumstance.
We will never share your health-related or session-specific information with third parties without your explicit consent, except where legally required.
