Privacy
What this website does with your data — which is very
little. Last reviewed 1 September 2026.
The short version
This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and does not track you.
There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to. The
three things that do involve your data are the class timetable, booking,
and the newsletter, and each is described below.
Who is responsible
Olesea Rusu, R. do Dr. Carlos Varela, São Martinho, 9000-113 Funchal,
Madeira, Portugal. Email connect@myzen.pt.
Full details are on the imprint.
What happens when you open a page
Web server
Our host records the usual server log for every request: your IP
address, the time, the page, and what browser asked for it. This is how
the web works and how the host protects the server. Host:
Railway Corp. (United States), on servers in the Netherlands. Logs are kept for [retention period — ask your host].
Fonts
The typefaces are stored on this server, not loaded from Google. No
request goes to fonts.googleapis.com or
fonts.gstatic.com, so no data about you reaches Google when
you read this page.
The class timetable
The timetable is loaded live from our own booking system at
www.myzen.pt — the same address this page is on — when the
homepage opens. That request goes from your browser to a server we run,
and it fetches public class information only — class times, teachers,
prices and how many places are left. No
account or personal data is involved, no cookie is set, and nothing about
the request is used to recognise you. The server keeps the usual short
request log, as any web server does.
When you book a class
Booking happens at www.myzen.pt, which is ours. You sign
in with a link or a six-digit code sent to your email address —
there is no password. We store your name, email address, phone number if
you give one, your tax number if you want it on an invoice, your bookings
and your class passes, because that is what running a studio takes.
Payments are handled by Stripe and never touch our servers; invoices
are issued through InvoiceXpress, as Portuguese law requires; the emails
about your bookings are sent through Resend. Each of those receives only
what it needs to do its part.
You can see everything we hold, export it, or ask us to delete it, from
your account or by writing to connect@myzen.pt.
The slow letter
There is no newsletter yet, and no form on the site asking for your
address for one. When there is, this section will say who sends it and
what happens to the address you give — before the form appears, not
after.
When you email us
We keep the correspondence so we can pick up the thread next time. If
you would rather we deleted it, say so and we will.
What we never do
- No analytics, no page-view tracking, no heatmaps.
- No advertising pixels and no social media trackers. The Instagram
and Google Maps links are ordinary links — nothing is sent anywhere
until you click them.
- No cookies and no browser storage of any kind.
- We do not sell or share your data.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask
us to correct it, ask us to delete it, ask us to restrict what we do with
it, or object to it altogether. Write to
connect@myzen.pt and we will answer
within a month.
If you think we have handled your data badly, you can complain to the
Portuguese data protection authority, the
Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD).
Changes
If we add anything to the site that collects data, this page changes
first.
