At SOMA, your privacy matters. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and the rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We may share data with trusted third-party providers:

  • Stripe: Payment processing (PCI-DSS compliant).
  • Resend: Email delivery for newsletters and confirmations.
  • Google / Meta: Analytics and advertising (only with your consent).

These providers process data under their own privacy policies and act as independent data controllers where applicable.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Contact submissions are kept for up to 24 months. Booking records are retained for 7 years for tax and legal compliance. You may request deletion at any time (see Section 7).

  • Rectification: Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure: Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Restriction: Limit how we process your data.
  • Portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
  • Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent for marketing or cookies at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@somatherapia.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encrypted transmission (TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

9. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the EU/EEA (e.g., the United States). We ensure such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
