Our Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 4 June 2026

​

This Privacy Policy explains how Anian ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal data when you visit our website hosted on Wix.com, subscribe to our mailing list, or purchase our activities, events, and courses.

 

We are committed to protecting your privacy in compliance with the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, Australian Privacy Act 1988, New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, and applicable US State Privacy Laws [legislation.gov.uk, legislation.gov.au].

 

 

1. Information We Collect

We collect several types of information to provide and improve our services to you:

 

A. Information You Provide Voluntarily

  • Booking and Registration Data: When you purchase or register for our activities, events, or courses, we collect your name, email address, phone number, billing address, and booking preferences.

  • Mailing List Sign-ups: When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and name.

  • Payment Information: Financial transactions are handled securely by our third-party payment gateways, Stripe and PayPal. Anian does not view or store your credit card numbers or financial account details. Your payment data is collected directly by these secure processors.

 

B. Automatically Collected Data

  • Analytics and Website Usage: We use Google Analytics to gather data on website traffic, pages viewed, time spent on the site, and geographic location.

  • Advertising and Tracking Pixels: We use Meta Pixel and Google Ads tracking. These technologies deploy cookies on your device to track your behavior across the web, allowing us to serve targeted advertisements to you on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Google Search.

  • Device and Log Data: Our website platform, Wix, automatically logs your IP address, browser type, operating system, and date/time stamps to maintain site security and performance.

  • Cookies: We use essential cookies (for booking and cart management) and performance/advertising cookies (via Google and Meta). You can manage your cookie preferences through our website cookie banner.

 

 

2. Our Legal Bases for Processing Data (UK & EU Visitors)

If you are a resident of the UK or EEA, we process your data under the following legal bases:

  1. Performance of a Contract: To process your bookings, manage your course registrations, and deliver the activities or events you purchased.

  2. Consent: When you explicitly opt-in to receive our marketing emails or accept analytical/advertising cookies on our cookie banner.

  3. Legitimate Interests: To improve our website performance, protect our site against fraud, and run targeted promotional campaigns.

  4. Legal Obligation: To comply with tax, accounting, and regulatory laws in the United Kingdom.

 

 

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share your data with trusted third parties who help us run our business:

  • Wix.com: Our website and booking platform hosts your data on secure servers.

  • Stripe & PayPal: To securely authorise, clear, and complete financial transactions for your bookings.

  • Google Analytics, Google Ads & Meta: To analyse user interactions and deliver relevant online promotions.

  • Email Service Providers: To distribute our newsletters and transactional updates (e.g., course details, booking confirmations).

 

International Data Transfers

Because our audience spans the UK, EU, US, Australia, and New Zealand, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your home jurisdiction (such as the United States where Wix, Google, and Meta servers are located). We ensure appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions) are in place to secure your data.

 

 

4. Your Rights by Region

You have distinct statutory rights regarding your personal data depending on where you live.

 

UK & European Union Residents (GDPR)

  • Right to Access & Portability: Request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.

  • Right to Rectification & Erasure: Correct inaccurate data or request the deletion of your records ("Right to be Forgotten").

  • Right to Restrict or Object: Halt the processing of your data for direct marketing and targeted advertising.

 

Australian & New Zealand Residents

  • You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and request corrections if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, or misleading [legislation.gov.au].

 

United States Residents

  • Depending on your state of residence (e.g., California, Virginia, Texas), you have the right to know what personal data we collect, request deletion, opt-out of targeted advertising, and not face discrimination for exercising your rights.

How to exercise your rights: Contact us at the email listed below. We will respond to your request within 30 days (or the statutory timeframe mandated by your local law).

 

 

5. Mailing List & Advertising Opt-Out

  • Email Marketing: You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time. Click the "Unsubscribe" link found at the bottom of any email we send. You will still receive transactional emails regarding courses you have actively purchased.

  • Targeted Ads: You can opt-out of targeted advertising by adjusting your privacy settings directly inside your Facebook/Meta account and Google Ads settings, or by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance choice page (optout.aboutads.info).

 

 

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including providing our courses, maintaining financial accounting records required by UK tax law (typically 6 years), and resolving disputes.

 

 

7. Children's Privacy

Our website, activities, and courses are not directed at, marketed to, or intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If we discover a minor under this age has provided us with data without parental consent, we will delete it  from our servers.

 

 

8. Contact Us

For any privacy-related questions, to file a complaint, or to exercise your data rights, please contact the Anian team:

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, such as the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the UK [legislation.gov.uk].
