Somastoa
Last updated: 10 August 2026
This policy explains what personal data Somastoa (“Somastoa”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collects when you join our waitlist or request one of our free guides, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it. We are the data controller for that information.
Somastoa is a body, mind, and philosophy practice, currently pre-launch. For the purposes of UK data protection law, Somastoa is the controller of the personal data described here. You can reach us any time at daniel@somastoa.com or by post at 16 Neilston Rise, Manchester, United Kingdom.
We keep this deliberately small. We collect:
We do not ask for your name, and we do not collect special category data (such as health information). Please do not send it to us.
We use double opt-in: after you sign up, we email you to confirm it was really you, and you only join the list once you click that link. Every marketing email carries a one-click unsubscribe. If you unsubscribe, we suppress your address so you stop hearing from us.
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with the service providers who help us run Somastoa, acting on our instructions:
Some of these providers are based outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. Where your data is transferred abroad, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement and Standard Contractual Clauses, so that it stays protected.
We keep your email address for as long as you are on the waitlist or list. If you unsubscribe or ask us to erase your data, we remove it, keeping only the minimum record needed to honour your choice not to be contacted. Analytics data is retained for a limited period in line with each provider’s settings.
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
To exercise any of these, email daniel@somastoa.com. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk, though we hope you will come to us first.
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies for the site to function and for analytics. Non-essential analytics cookies are used to understand and improve the experience. You can control or clear cookies in your browser settings; blocking some may affect how the site works.
Somastoa is intended for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has given us their data, contact us and we will remove it.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including signed, single-purpose links and access controls. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top. Significant changes will be made clear.
