How I look after your details
Hi! I'm Lyla Cansfield, and I've developed (and continue to develop) a training method called Equine Mind & Body Training. Here you'll find my privacy policy and how I keep your data safe.
Last updated: October 2026
The short version
Here's everything you need to know at a glance. You'll find the full details further down.
Your name, email address and mobile phone number, plus your address if you book a lesson or clinic.
Online payments only go through BACS, PayPal, Stripe or Klarna, so I never store any payment information.
Only to contact you about bookings, clinics, workshops, online courses, events, news and blogs about my training methods. I will never sell your data or share it with anyone other than the trusted companies I use to run my business.
Your details are securely stored and managed using Fitness Marketing Suite, which I also use to send emails.

4Lawful bases for using your information
Under UK data protection law, I must have a "lawful basis" for collecting and using your personal information. These are the ones I rely on:
You can find out more about lawful bases on the ICO's website.
7How long I keep your information
I only keep your information for as long as I need it:

8Your data protection rights
Depending on the lawful basis I'm using, you have the right to:

- Rectification: ask me to correct anything that's inaccurate or incomplete
- Erasure: ask me to delete your personal information

- Object to me using your information

9Unsubscribing
There's an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of every email I send. Clicking it removes you from my email list, and you'll stop receiving my emails unless you ask to receive them again. If you have any trouble unsubscribing, just let me know and I'll do it for you.
10Links to other websites
I sometimes link to other websites that I think you might find interesting. I have no control over their content or privacy policies, so please check them separately.
