Privacy & Cookie Notice
Last updated: 30 July 2026
This notice explains what personal data Beyond Mindful Living collects, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. We keep it in plain language on purpose.
Who we are
Beyond Mindful Living ("we", "us") provides mindfulness coaching and meditation programs, working with clients in the UAE and online worldwide. For any question about your data, or to exercise any of the rights below, email connect@beyondmindfulliving.com. For data-protection purposes, Beyond Mindful Living is the "controller" of your personal data, and this notice is written to meet UK data-protection law (UK GDPR) and the UAE Personal Data Protection Law.
What we collect and why
- When you use the contact form: your name, email address, the area you are interested in, and your message. We use this only to respond to you and, if you go on to work with us, to arrange and deliver your program.
- When you join the book list: your email address, used only to let you know when the book It Only Feels Real is available. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- When you book a call: bookings are made through Calendly, which collects your name, email address and the time you choose (and anything you add in the booking notes), so we can hold the appointment with you.
- When you browse the site: with your consent, we use Google Analytics to see which pages people find useful and how they reach us. These analytics cookies load only if you choose “Accept all” in the cookie banner. If you choose “Essential only”, no analytics cookies are set and the site works exactly the same. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.
Our lawful basis
Under UK GDPR we rely on your consent (for the book list and any optional analytics), on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and running the site, and on taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (when you ask about or book a program). Where the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) applies to clients in the UAE, we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your data. We use a small number of trusted service providers who process data on our behalf:
- Netlify: hosts the website and receives contact-form submissions.
- Calendly: handles call bookings.
- Cloudflare: provides the domain, security and delivery of the site.
- Google (Google Analytics): provides website-usage statistics, only if you consent to analytics cookies.
Some of these providers are based outside the UK and the UAE (for example, in the United States). Where your data is transferred internationally, it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent data-transfer frameworks offered by those providers.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry and booking details only for as long as we need them to help you and to meet any legal or accounting obligations, then delete them. We keep your email on the book list until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove it.
Cookies
The site uses a small number of essential cookies it needs to work, plus a cookie that remembers your choice about analytics. With your consent, we also use Google Analytics (GA4) cookies to measure how the site is used; these load only if you choose “Accept all” in the cookie banner; choosing “Essential only” keeps analytics off entirely. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing cookies in your browser; the site will still work.
Your rights
You can ask us to give you a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, or stop using it, and you can withdraw consent at any time. To do any of these, email connect@beyondmindfulliving.com and we will respond within the time the law allows. If you are in the UK and are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). If you are in the UAE, you can contact the UAE Data Office.
Changes to this notice
If we change how we handle your data, we will update this page and change the date at the top.
