SISU Sound Serenity – PRIVACY POLICY

Date of last update: 11th February 2026

​

This privacy policy explains how we look after personal data we collect from you or that you provide to us (directly or indirectly) and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you. “Personal data” is any information capable of identifying a living individual; it does not include anonymised data.

​

Website data collection

​

This website does not use analytics or tracking technologies. Our hosting provider may automatically collect minimal technical data (such as IP address and browser type) for security and functionality. We use only a strictly necessary security cookie that prevents cross-site request forgery.

 

What data we collect about you

​

When you contact us, we will have your name, phone number, e-mail address and/or any other information you share with us. 

​

As part of the services we provide, we may process the following types of personal data about you:

  • Contact information, such as your email address, postal address, and phone number;

  • Financial data, such as your bank account and payment card details;

  • Identity data, such as your name and date of birth;

  • Marketing and communications data, which includes your preferences in receiving marketing communications from us and your communications preferences;

  • Transaction data, such as details about payments between us;

  • Special category/sensitive personal data:

    • All clients will be asked to complete and sign a health form in advance of any treatments or events, which includes details such as medical conditions, medications, and surgery details. More details are in the health form;

    • Following sound therapy, forest bathing or related treatments, notes will be kept on what is discussed between us before and after the session, as well as any information you choose to share with us between sessions. 

 

We only keep information for as long as it is necessary to provide the services, for our own accounts and records, or to meet legal or insurance obligations. 

 

How we use your information

​

We only use your personal information to:

  • reply to your e-mails or telephone calls;

  • provide the services;

  • communicate with you about our services and events;

  • issue and communicate with you about payment and invoices; 

  • maintain accounts and records; and

  • comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

 

If you are happy with our work, we may ask you to provide a testimonial. This will only include your name if you want it to.

 

If you make a purchase as a gift on the site or book a service or event on behalf of someone else, and enter that person’s name and contact details, it is your responsibility to seek that person’s permission for SISU Sound Serenity Limited to process and/or store that data.

 

Marketing Communications 

​

We may send you marketing emails about our services if you have purchased from us, booked an event or treatment, or asked us for information about what we offer. This is permitted under the “soft opt‑in” rule in UK privacy law.

 

You can opt out of marketing at any time by emailing us at sisusoundserenity@outlook.com


We will not send marketing to anyone who has opted out. Opting out of marketing does not affect service‑related communications such as appointment confirmations, invoices, or information needed to provide the services you have requested.

 

Your rights

​

At any time you can ask us for a copy of all the information we hold about you. You can also update any of your information that is inaccurate. Under certain circumstances, you have rights to deletion, objection and restriction.  The portability right is accommodated by the access right.
