This Privacy Policy explains how Sushi Yogi collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal data when you visit our website, take part in our programmes, or otherwise interact with us. We operate online and serve students worldwide, so this policy is written to meet the standards expected in the United Kingdom and the European Union, India, South Africa, and the United States. Please read it carefully.
Sushi Yogi is operated by Sushmitha Shrikanth, sole trader, trading as Sushi Yogi (“Sushi Yogi”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). We are the controller responsible for your personal data. We operate globally and teach students in many countries.
If you have any questions about this policy or about how we handle your personal data, you can reach us at info@sushiyogi.com.
We collect the following categories of personal data:
Under UK and EU data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for using your personal data. We rely on the following bases:
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, understand how it is used, and measure our advertising. Essential cookies, which keep the site working and let you sign in, are always on.
We also use advertising and analytics technologies that are only switched on when you give your consent through our cookie banner:
You can accept or decline these technologies when you first visit the site, and you can change your choice at any time using the cookie banner. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, though declining some cookies may affect how the site works.
We share your personal data with trusted service providers who process it on our behalf, only as needed to run our business. These include:
Each of these providers is bound to keep your data secure and use it only for the purposes we set. We do not sell your personal data to anyone. We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
Because we operate globally and use service providers based in different countries, your personal data may be processed outside the country where you live, including in countries whose data protection laws differ from your own. Where we transfer personal data across borders, we take steps to ensure it remains protected, including relying on Standard Contractual Clauses or other appropriate safeguards where applicable.
We keep your personal data only for as long as we need it. We retain account and programme data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services, and we keep certain records for longer where the law requires it, for example for tax and accounting. If you ask us to delete your data, we will do so within a reasonable period, normally within 30 days, except where we are required or permitted to keep it.
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. All data is transmitted over HTTPS, payments are handled by Stripe, and authentication is managed by Clerk using industry-standard encryption. No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we work to keep your data safe.
Your rights depend on where you live. We honour the rights set out below and will not treat you unfairly for exercising them. To make a request, contact us at info@sushiyogi.com.
You have the right to access your personal data, to have inaccurate data corrected, to have your data erased, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw your consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. In the EU you can complain to your local data protection authority.
You have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected or completed, to have it erased, to grievance redressal, and to nominate another person to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity. You can raise a grievance with us using the contact details below.
You have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected, to have it deleted or destroyed, and to object to its processing. You also have the right to complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to request that we delete it, to request that we correct it, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell your personal information. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights.
Our website and programmes are intended for adults and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16, or under 18 where local law sets a higher age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. When we make significant changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify active users by email. Your continued use of our services after an update means you accept the revised policy.
This policy is governed by the laws of the applicable jurisdiction in which Sushi Yogi operates. To ask a question, make a request about your personal data, or exercise any of your rights, contact us at info@sushiyogi.com.
