Privacy statement

Last updated on 13 November 2026

Who am I

Shibari-Tantra is an activity of Leanmodus CommV, Biesten 20, 9810 Eke (Nazareth-De-Pinte), company number 0653.995.873. Leanmodus CommV is responsible for processing your personal data. I, Michael Bentein, am your contact person. You can reach me at info@shibari-tantra.be or +32 468 23 45 08.

I handle what you entrust to me with care. In this statement you can read which data I collect, what I use it for and which rights you have.

Which data I process and why

Contact and questions

If you send me a message through the website, email, phone or social media, I keep your name, your contact details and your message to answer your question. I do this based on my legitimate interest in responding to you, or because you want to sign up.

Registrations for classes, workshops and events

When you sign up, I process your name, email address, phone number, your ticket and your payment, and where relevant the name of your partner. Tickets are sold through Hipsy. I use this data to handle your registration, send you practical information and organise the workshop. The legal basis is the agreement we make together.

Intake questionnaire

For some workshops, such as Bind me los, I ask you to fill in a short intake beforehand. In it I ask about your experience, your boundaries and whether there is anything physical or emotional I should take into account. Some answers may say something about your health. That is why I ask for your explicit consent for this. I use your answers only to guide the workshop safely and with care. Only I and the co-host of that workshop read them. You decide what you share, and you can withdraw your consent at any time.

Feedback and testimonials

After a workshop I sometimes ask for feedback. I use it to improve my workshops. I only use part of your answer as a testimonial on the website or social media when you explicitly agree to that.

Webshop

When you order something in the webshop, I process your name, address, email address, phone number, your order and your payment. For shipping I share your name and address with Sendcloud and the carrier. The legal basis is the purchase agreement.

Newsletter

When you subscribe to the newsletter, I use your name and email address to send you news about workshops and events. I only do this with your consent. You can unsubscribe with one click at the bottom of every newsletter.

Invoices and accounting

I keep the data on invoices and payments because the law requires it.

Website and cookies

The website uses cookies. I only place analytics cookies from Google Analytics after you give consent in the cookie banner. You can read more in the cookie policy.

Who I share data with

I never sell your data. To do my work, I use these service providers. They process data on my behalf:

  • Odoo: website, webshop, customer management, newsletter and invoicing
  • Hipsy: ticket sales for events
  • Sendcloud and the carrier: shipping of orders
  • Google: email, calendar, documents and website statistics
  • Anthropic (Claude): an AI assistant that helps me with administration
  • My accountant and Billtobox: processing of the accounts

The co-host or facilitator of a workshop only receives the data needed for that workshop, such as the participant list and the intake.

Some of these service providers process data outside the European Union, for example in the United States. This only happens with the safeguards the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides for this.

How long I keep data

  • Intake questionnaires: as long as needed to guide the workshop
  • Contact and customer data: as long as we are in contact or you are a customer, and no longer than needed after that
  • Newsletter: until you unsubscribe
  • Invoices and accounting: as long as the law requires

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or delete your data. You can also ask to restrict the processing, object to the processing and request your data to pass it on to someone else. If you gave consent, you can always withdraw it. Send an email to info@shibari-tantra.be for this. I answer within one month.

If you are not happy with how I handle your data, you can file a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit), Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussels, www.gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be.

Security

I protect your data with appropriate technical and organisational measures. Only people who need the data for their work get access to it.

Changes

I may update this statement. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
