Where you are contacted with information, an offer or service based on information you have shared with us, we will do our best to provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of receiving such further communications at the time you are contacted.

Straw Hat Holistic may process your information on the following lawful basis:
Consent
You may have provided your consent to us using your personal data for a specific purpose. Whenever you provide us with your personal data you will be able to choose the purposes for which you are giving your personal data and the way in which you would prefer to be contacted.
We will ask for your consent to use your personal data to send you post or electronic communications, such as newsletters and emails. You always have the right to withdraw your consent at any time
Legitimate interest
Applicable law allows personal data to be collected and used if it is reasonably necessary for our legitimate interests or a third party’s legitimate interests (as long as the processing is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact individuals’ rights).
We will rely on this basis to process your personal data when it is not practical or appropriate to ask for your consent, and where we are confident that this will not impact your rights.
When we process your personal data to achieve such legitimate interests, we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws.

We may share your personal information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Straw Hat Coaching policies, or as otherwise required by law. This would include where we must retain certain records, or where we are required to disclose personal data to any regulators or law enforcement agencies.
When we process information to obtain a Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) Certificate, we are processing your information to fulfil our legal obligation to ensure those working with children or adults have DBS checks carried out, as required by law.
Where we do collect such sensitive data from you, we will ensure that we obtain your prior explicit consent. You always have the right to withdraw your consent.
