PRIVACY POLICY

Just like Garudasana (the yoga pose above), a privacy policy can be tricky. Unlike the pose above, we're not trying to hide anything.

(Updated 11 February 2020)

Gentle Rev cares about fundamental rights and because the right to integrity is a fundamental right, we care about your privacy.

The website is offering advisory services, workshops, presentations, yoga classes, courses, events and other services (from here on we’ll call them the “Services”).

We are using external service providers that are hosting the website and taking care of the accounting, finance and insurance parts of the business. You may want to check out the privacy policies of Wix, Bolageriet, SEB and Folksam/Trygg Hansa.
