Privacy Policy
Paul and The Tai Chi Space endeavour to offer you the best training experience, which requires collecting and storing some data about students. He treats students’ information as he would want his own data treated and considers it strictly confidential.
What We Collect and Why We Collect It
Paul receives contact details for students who:
Fill in hard-copy registration and waiver release forms ahead of courses or online lessons, or enter details into an email sign-up form via this website. Waiver forms include boxes for opting out of communications via email, phone and/or post. And, although your name is requested in email sign-up forms, you can provide initials only.
Provide contact details in writing, or via phone/text or email.
Provide contact details when purchasing a product authored or created by Paul Cavel with his publishers, Energy Arts, Inc. and The Tai Chi Space, LLC.
He uses your name, email address and postal address to notify you of blog posts, product releases and upcoming courses. He may use your phone number to let you know if a class must be cancelled or travel routes are blocked, or to coordinate arrivals/departures on retreat. He does not employ telemarketing and he rarely sends hard-copy mailings. Typically he sends one email per month in tandem with new blog posts.
Via encrypted online accounting software, details of the courses you attend and the products or services you purchase are stored, including the amounts paid or credited, and the payment type. He does not retain details of your bank account when you transfer funds; he does retain details of your account if you provide it for a refund for the period of one year (only for the purposes of proof of funds sent and for follow-up, as needed).
If you write about any health issues on your registration form, the information provided is stored in hard-copy format and stored under lock and key (only accessible to Paul and his assistants). Emails are saved with double password protection. His assistants may communicate via email internally with Paul about health issues ahead of any private or live training to ensure he offers the safest and most effective training. Paul also writes very brief notes after every course and private session, which may include references to health issues, as relevant. These are also stored under lock and key.
While photos and videos of students are not specifically taken without their prior knowledge and consent, from time to time photos or film recordings (including audio) of Paul and/or his teaching assistants may include you. We always notify you if photos or audio/video might be taken and ask for your consent in writing. Following courses, media is copied and saved on external hard drives and deleted from the device and/or internal/external storage. Hard drives are password protected and kept under lock and key.
Paul does not share your personal data with any third parties without your explicit permission, EXCEPT with his publisher, The Tai Chi Space, LLC, and as it pertains to managing workflow.
