When you book
We keep your name, the email or phone number you give (or both), the places you booked, the price, and the language you were using.
The studio can mark whether you’ve paid and whether you’ve arrived, and can keep its own notes about you. If you book with the same studio again with the same email or phone number, it goes on the same record, so the studio can see your earlier bookings with it.
Each booking has its own private link. Anyone who has that link can open the booking and cancel it, so share it with care.
When you run a studio
We keep your name and email, and your password. The password is stored only as a scrambled hash, which can’t be turned back into the password. We also note when you last signed in.
We keep the studio’s details and its workshops, dates and photos. What a studio puts on its page, such as its name, address and links, is there for anyone to see.
The words a studio writes about its workshops, and its one-line description, may be sent to an AI translation service to put them into the site’s other two languages. Customers’ details are never sent.
Stopping repeated tries
To slow down repeated tries at booking, signing in or signing up, the site counts tries from each internet address, and from each email used to sign in (kept in a scrambled form). Entries older than a day are cleared out as new ones come in.
Why
To run bookings: so a studio knows who is coming and can reach you about your booking, and so you can see or cancel it.
Nothing is used for advertising, and nothing is sold.
Who can see it
The studio you book with sees your booking and the details you gave it, and so does everyone on that studio’s team. Other studios don’t.
The people who run Okigo can see what is stored, to keep the site working.
Cookies
The site sets a few small cookies. Each one is needed for it to work:
- your language, once you choose one, so pages stay in it (kept for a year)
- the bookings made on this phone or computer, so My bookings can show them (kept for a year)
- a studio owner’s sign-in, so they stay signed in to their dashboard (two weeks)
- a separate sign-in for the people who run the site (three days)
There is no tracking or analytics, and no ads. Links to maps or Instagram open those sites, which have their own rules.
Removing your details
To have your details removed, ask the studio you booked with, or ask the people who run Okigo. Contact details for that will be added here before launch.
Changes
This is a test version. What it keeps may change before launch, and this page will change with it.
