Last updated: 11 September 2026
This policy explains how Pristine Alchemy ("we", "us", "our"), the healing practice of Gabriela Barclay and Iuliana Stan, based in Limerick, Ireland, collects and uses your personal information when you visit this website, contact us, or book a session or workshop. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your information in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018.
Pristine Alchemy is the data controller for the information you provide. You can reach us at gabriela@pristinealchemy.love or iuliana@pristinealchemy.love. Our practice is based at 53 O'Connell Street, Limerick, Ireland.
We rely on the following lawful bases: consent (for example, when you send us a message or accept non-essential cookies), performance of a contract (to provide a session you have booked), legitimate interests (to run and improve our practice in a way you would reasonably expect), and legal obligation (for example, keeping financial records).
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the trusted service providers that help us run the practice, each acting as our processor under its own privacy terms. These include providers for:
We are happy to provide the names of these providers on request. We may also disclose information if we are required to do so by law.
This website uses a small number of cookies. Essential cookies are needed for the site to function and for us to remember your cookie choice. We also use a third-party scheduling service to enable booking; it sets its own cookies, and it is only loaded after you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. If you decline, non-essential cookies are not loaded and booking buttons simply direct you to our contact page. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.
Some of our service providers are based outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where your information is transferred outside the EEA, it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent approved mechanism.
We keep your information only for as long as we need it for the purposes above, and no longer than necessary. Enquiry and booking records are kept while we are in contact and for a reasonable period afterwards. Financial records are kept for as long as Irish tax and accounting law requires.
Under GDPR you have the right to access the information we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to how we use it, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email us at gabriela@pristinealchemy.love. We will respond within one month.
If you have a concern about how we handle your information, please contact us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
For any privacy question, email gabriela@pristinealchemy.love or iuliana@pristinealchemy.love.
