Privacy and Discretion
Privacy is embedded in all stages of your sessions.
Administration
All communication and administration are conducted exclusively by me. No data are shared, delegated, or disclosed to any third party. (There is no webdesigner, copyrighter or administrator. Just me.)
Client Code
Upon arrival you are issued an ID code. Your application is converted into a unique code before your first session. Names are eliminated from the system. I allocate codes of two sets of two digits that are easy to retain (18-19, 10-20, 00-40). Sessions are memorized under the code. Any notes, if made at all, are tied solely to the number. The code remains assigned to you and is used for any future sessions. Additionally, all email communication is permanently deleted once a week.
Access
You enter through the main entrance of the building. It is discreet and unremarkable, suitable even for clients with heightened privacy requirements. For additional peace of mind, an alternative entrance can be arranged. This route bypasses even the intercom system. It requires advance request and carries a €50 fee.
Transition Unit
After entry, a short minimally lit passage leads directly to the Transition Unit in three steps. This is where you prepare. I provide a new outfit; there is no need to bring one. If you prefer to remain visually anonymous, even to me, you may use the provided mask or bring your own. A mask is optional. Whatever clothing you arrive in — business or casual — you simply hang it in the transition unit.
The Transition Unit is equipped for both preparation and restoration. The preparation deck is equipped with fragrance-free toiletries and essentials. You may shower after the session and depart in the same state in which you arrived — without trace.
Masks
If you elect to wear the mask, you may do so for the entire session. This option preserves your appearance in anonymity. —You may wear a mask for any other reason. It’s available.
Exclusivity
No other clients are ever present. You are always alone with me in the House of Bamboo, accompanied only by The Twins, two well-behaved (“hypoallergenic”) Savannah cats: Foxy & Farax.
About The Twins: Their presence does not cause allergic reactions in most people with allergies. As a precaution, you will find a bottle of anti-allergy pills (antihistamine) on the preparation deck. The Twins are royal members of the House of Bamboo and if they decide to view the session for their own entertainment, from a corner or high up, they will.
Location
The House of Bamboo location is formally registered as a sports facility and personal training business. The dojo is effectively silent to the outside; no session can be overheard. It’s situated in a district of offices, commercial buildings, and residential apartments. The environment is active, neutral, and anonymous. There is no social control. Arrivals and departures dissolve into the movement of the surroundings, unnoticed and unrecorded. Even a driver requires no detail beyond the name of the square adjacent to the location.
