We process personal data primarily in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), in force since September 1, 2023. Because we also welcome participants from the European Union, we additionally apply the standards of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to those participants.
2. What Personal Data We Collect
-
Identity & contact data: name, email address, phone number, home address

Booking data: event(s) booked, dates, payment confirmation (we do not store full card details — this is processed securely by Stripe/PayPal)

3. Special Category Data (Health Information)
Because our events include intensive practices such as holotropic breathwork, you may be asked or may choose to disclose health-related information (e.g., cardiovascular conditions, epilepsy, pregnancy, mental health history) so that our facilitators can ensure the practice is safe and appropriate for you.
-
We only collect this information with your explicit consent.
-
This data is used solely to assess your safe participation and is never used for marketing or shared beyond what is necessary for facilitators to run the event safely.

You may withdraw this consent or request deletion of this information at any time, though we may need to decline participation if essential safety information is withdrawn.
