What are the Spa Ninja Services & who are the Users?
The Policy covers a single information database (Database) that is integral to connecting two platforms developed and owned by us collectively known as the Services:1.

2. Yosiwa, using a website and mobile app, or other online platforms such as partners’ websites and social media, Yosiwa allows Customers to make bookings with Operators. Customers input personal details & booking preferences and this information is stored in the Database.
The Services are accessed by 2 distinct user bases, collectively known as Users:

Its function is to introduce a certain kind of changed state into an otherwise stateless HTTP transaction. Browsers mostly store cookies in a simple text file or files, ie. the so-called “cookie files”, so they will still be available after you turn off and restart your browser.
