Privacy and Trust

Updated July 2025

Privacy Policy

We’re committed to respecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal information. Any details you share with us will be treated with care, and we’ll never sell or distribute your data without your consent.

This policy applies to catjpaterson.com and explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

1. Personal Information

This website is not configured to collect personal information automatically. That means we won’t know your name, email address, or any identifiable details about you—unless you choose to share them with us voluntarily (e.g. by submitting a form, making a booking, or signing up to receive updates).

2. Internet Protocol (IP) Address

When you visit our site, our servers log your IP address—a standard practice that helps us maintain the website and diagnose any issues. We do not link IP addresses to any personal information.

3. Cookies

To enhance your experience, this website may use cookies—small files stored on your device to remember your preferences or activity. Certain features may rely on cookies to function properly. You can adjust your browser settings to manage or disable cookies at any time.

4. Information You Choose to Share

When you register for a workshop or purchase a service, we may collect personal details such as:

  • Your name

  • Email address

  • Address

  • Phone number

  • Payment details

This helps us fulfil your requests and send you the relevant information connected to your booking or inquiry. You may also receive curated resources or updates we feel may be genuinely helpful. You’re always free to unsubscribe or opt out at any time.

5. Health & Safety Information

In order to ensure a safe and supportive experience—especially during breathwork, ice bath, or other embodied practices—we may request personal health information via registration forms. This can include (but is not limited to):

  • Relevant medical history or diagnoses

  • Physical or psychological conditions

  • Allergies or dietary requirements

  • Emergency contact details

We collect this information solely for safety and duty-of-care purposes. It is treated as strictly confidential, stored securely, and only accessed by those facilitating your session or event. You have the right to decline to provide certain information, though doing so may impact our ability to deliver a safe and appropriate experience.

6. Security of Information

We take your privacy seriously. Whenever possible, personal information (including payment details) is transmitted securely using SSL encryption. You'll see a padlock icon in your browser and the URL will begin with https:// when this secure mode is active.

Please note that while we aim to use secure systems, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Use and Storage of Your Information

We treat your data as confidential and store it securely. Access is limited to trusted team members or service providers who require it for legitimate purposes, such as delivering your service or managing your booking.

8. Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third-party companies. The only exception is where we use trusted service providers (e.g. Squarespace, email marketing platforms, payment processors) who help us run the website and deliver services to you. These providers are GDPR-compliant and committed to data protection.

9. External Links

This website may contain links to other websites. Once you leave our site, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites.

10. Legal Disclosures

We will only disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, or in good faith if necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Cat Paterson, our users, or others.

11. Updating or Removing Your Information

You are always in control of your data. If you'd like to update your details or unsubscribe from our emails, you can do so at any time by clicking the link in the footer of any email, or by contacting us directly at catjpaterson@gmail.com
