Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Becoming Alpha collects, uses and protects your personal information when you use our website or register your interest in our retreats and experiences.
Who we are
Becoming Alpha is a lifestyle initiative curating retreats, workshops and experiences for women. When this policy refers to "we", "us" or "Becoming Alpha", it means the team operating this website and the experiences it promotes. Our contact email is hello@becoming-alpha.com.
What information we collect
We only collect information you choose to give us. This may include:
- Your name and email address when you join a waitlist, subscribe to our newsletter, register interest in a retreat or workshop, or complete a reservation form.
- Information you include in optional notes, such as preferences or questions about an experience.
- Technical data automatically collected when you browse our site, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and referral source. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
How we use your information
We use your personal information to:
- Respond to your enquiries and keep you informed about retreats, workshops, events and new offerings.
- Send newsletters, early access updates and promotional emails you have signed up to receive.
- Process bookings, manage waiting lists and communicate important details about upcoming experiences.
- Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve its design, content and usability.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
Legal basis for processing
We process your data based on your consent (for example, when you subscribe to a newsletter), our legitimate interests in operating and promoting Becoming Alpha, or the necessity to perform a contract with you when you book an experience.
Who we share your information with
We do not sell your personal information. We only share it with trusted service providers who help us run our website, email communications, bookings and analytics, and only when they agree to keep your information secure and confidential. We may also disclose information if required by law.
Cookies and tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyse traffic and understand how visitors interact with our content. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. For more details, please see our Cookies Policy.
How long we keep your information
We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. If you unsubscribe from our communications, we will remove you from our active mailing list promptly, although we may retain a suppression record to prevent future emails.
Your rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. You may also request a copy of the information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email us at hello@becoming-alpha.com.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International transfers
Some of our service providers may be located outside the European Economic Area. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
