Introduction:

We gather and use certain information about individuals in order to provide products and services and to enable certain functions on the website.

We also collect information to better understand how visitors use this website and to present timely, relevant information to them.


What Data We Gather:

We may collect the following information:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • Due date
  • Postcode
  • Other information relating to client enquiries
  • Website usage data

How We Use This Data

Collecting this data helps us understand what you are looking for from the company, enabling us to deliver improved products and services.

Specifically, we may use this data:

  • For our own internal records
  • To improve the products and services we provide
  • To contact you in response to a specific enquiry
  • To send you promotional emails about products, services or other things we think are relevant to you

Antenatal Class Booking

Sage Femme will pass your contact details to the instructor who will be delivering your course.  Your instructor will contact you in order to send you material related to the course and to tell you about the local services and support that are available to you during and after your pregnancy.  

Online booking and payment is managed via Ti-To events software and Paypal. Other systems we use to store client personal and accounting data are: Box.com (UKLtd), Freeagent Accounting software and Microsoft email.

Some of our service providers who process your data may be based outside of the EEA.  We will take measures to ensure that such handling of your data comply with applicable data protection laws.  

Sage Femme would also like to use your name and email address to inform you of our future offers and similar products.  This information is not shared with third parties and you can unsubscribe any time via email at info@sagefemme.co.uk

Given the very social nature of our course, we will be putting together a Group Contact List in which you will receive one week before your first session.  We process this data based on our legitimate interests. On the list we plan to include the contact details (name, phone number, email address, and due date) for both you and your partner.  If you do not want your details to be shared with other registrants, you can opt out by emailing us at info@sagefemme.co.uk

The law allows personal data to be legally collected and used if it is necessary for a legitimate business interest of the organisation – as long as its use is fair and balanced and does not unduly impact the rights of the individual concerned.

We do not sell your personal data or provide it to third parties for their direct marketing use.

Our Lawful Basis For Processing

We need a lawful basis to collect and use your personal information.

Our lawful basis for the purposes that we process personal information is consent, for the performance of a contract, or for the legitimate interests of Sage Femme Ltd (and where we are confident that the processing will not infringe on your rights and freedom).

Usually we will only process sensitive personal data if we have the explicit consent of those concerned. In extreme situations, we might share your personal details with the emergency services if we believe it is in your ‘vital interests’ to do so. For example, if someone is taken ill during one of our events. We may also share your personal information if the law says we have to.

There are times when it is just not practical to ask a person for consent. In many situations, the best approach for Sage Femme and our clients is to process personal data because of our legitimate interests, rather than consent.

The law allows personal data to be legally collected and used if it is necessary for a legitimate business interest of the organisation - as long as its use is fair and balanced and does not unduly impact the rights of the individual concerned.

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity.
