Privacy Agreement

1. Information We Collect

Information You Give Us

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

• Create an account in the App.
• Sign up for our email newsletter.
• Register for a class, workshop, or event.
• Purchase a membership, class pass, or gift card.
• Contact us through our website or App.

This may include your name, email address, phone number, billing address, and payment information. Passwords are stored in encrypted form. We do not store full payment card details. All payments are processed securely by Stripe.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use our website or App, we may automatically receive:

• Your IP address and general geographic location.
• Browser type, device type, and operating system.
• Pages or features accessed, time spent, and referring URLs.
• App version and crash or performance data.
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (website-only; see Section 6).

Device Permissions (App Only)

The App may request the following permissions. All are optional and may be managed in your device settings at any time:

• Push notifications — to send class reminders, booking confirmations, and studio updates.
• Camera — only if you choose to upload a profile photo.
• Photo library — only to select a profile image you've already taken.

We do not access your contacts, location, microphone, or any other device data.

Communications

If you contact us through our website contact form or App support feature, we retain those messages to respond to you and improve our service.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your Four Pebbles account.
• Process class bookings, purchases, and cancellations.
• Send booking confirmations, receipts, and scheduling updates.
• Deliver our email newsletter and promotional communications (with your consent).
• Send push notifications you have opted into (App only).
• Respond to your questions and support requests.
• Improve our website, App, and studio experience.
• Comply with legal responsibilities.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for automated profiling or decision-making that produces legal or significant effects.

3. Email & Push Notification Communications

Email

If you subscribe to our mailing list, you'll hear from us about upcoming classes, events, community news, and studio updates. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link so that you can opt out at any time.

Transactional emails (including booking confirmations, receipts, and schedule changes) are sent regardless of marketing preferences, as they relate directly to services you have requested.

Push Notifications (App Only)

With your permission, the App sends push notifications for upcoming class reminders, booking confirmations and changes, and studio announcements. You can turn these off at any time in your device's notification settings or within the App under Account > Notifications.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, share, or rent your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information with:

Service Providers

Trusted third parties who help us operate our website and App. These providers are contractually required to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes. Our key service providers include:

• Wellyx is our class scheduling and booking platform. Wellyx processes our booking data, membership status, and attendance history. See their privacy statement at wellyx.com.
• Stripe is our payment processor. Stripe handles all payment card data securely and does not share it with us in full. See their privacy statement at stripe.com/privacy.
• MailerLite is our email marketing platform. MailerLite is used to send newsletters and studio communications. See their privacy statement at mailerlite.com.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or government request, or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Four Pebbles or others.

Business Transfers

In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same protections described here.

5. Cookies (Website Only)

Our website may use cookies (small text files saved on your device) to remember your preferences, understand how visitors use our site, and improve your experience. You can control or deactivate cookies using your browser settings, though some site features may be affected.

The App does not use browser cookies. App-equivalent functions (such as keeping you logged in) use secure, industry-standard mobile session management.

We retain your information for as long as necessary to satisfy the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. If you delete your App account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, unless required by applicable law. To ask for the deletion of website data, please contact us directly.

9. Security

We use standard security measures, including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted storage for sensitive data, and access controls, to protect your information. However, no system is completely immune to risk, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

10. International Users

Four Pebbles is operated from the United States. If you access our website or App from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US. By using our services, you consent to this transfer.

We may update this Privacy Agreement from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this document and, where material changes are made, notify you through the App or by email.
