This policy explains how LA Fit Studio ("we", "us", "our"), a boutique fitness studio based in Cascais, Portugal, collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit lafit.studio, book a class, or contact us.
What information we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Booking details — name, email address, and phone number, submitted when you book a class through our online booking widget or via WhatsApp.
- Payment information — handled entirely by our payment provider (see "Payments" below). We do not see or store your full card details.
- Messages — the content of any messages you send us via WhatsApp or email.
- Basic technical data — such as browser type and general usage patterns, if we use a privacy-focused website analytics tool. We do not currently use analytics that identify individual visitors.
How we use your information
We use your information to: process and manage your class bookings; communicate with you about your booking, schedule changes, or cancellations; take payment for classes and packages; and respond to questions you send us.
Who we share it with
We work with a small number of service providers who process data on our behalf:
- Our booking software provider, which powers the class booking widget embedded on this site and stores your booking details.
- Wassl OÜ, a company registered in Estonia, which manages online bookings and payments on this site as our payment and booking service provider.
- Stripe, which securely processes card payments on Wassl OÜ's behalf. We do not store your card number.
- WhatsApp (Meta), if you choose to contact or book with us via WhatsApp — subject to WhatsApp's own privacy policy.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Bookings for children
Our Kids Cheerleading class is open to children aged 3–13. Bookings for participants under 18 must be made by a parent or legal guardian, who is responsible for the accuracy of the information provided and for any communication about the booking.
Cookies
This site does not set its own tracking cookies. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, and our embedded booking widget may set cookies necessary for it to function correctly. If we introduce website analytics in the future, we will use privacy-respecting tools where possible and update this policy accordingly.
How long we keep your data
We keep booking and payment records for as long as necessary to manage your classes and to meet our accounting and tax obligations under Portuguese law (generally up to 10 years for financial records). Message history is kept only as long as reasonably needed to resolve your query.
Your rights
Under EU/Portuguese data protection law (GDPR), you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request corrections, request deletion, restrict or object to certain processing, and request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with Portugal's data protection authority, the CNPD (Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados).
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will always show the latest revision.
