  • assess whether our services may be suitable for you;

  • arrange a consultation; and

  • provide information about our coaching services.

Our lawful basis is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract and, where applicable, our legitimate interest in responding to prospective clients and managing our business.

We use your personal, fitness, lifestyle and progress information to:

  • create and deliver your coaching programme;

  • provide training and nutrition guidance;

  • monitor your progress;

  • adjust your programme;

  • respond appropriately to information you provide about your health.

Our Article 6 lawful basis will generally be performance of our contract with you or our legitimate interests in providing responsible coaching.

Our Article 9 condition for processing special-category health information will generally be your explicit consent.

You may withdraw your consent to the processing of health information at any time. However, if we cannot process information necessary to provide coaching safely, we may be unable to continue providing some or all of our services.

BuiltByJT does not diagnose, treat or provide medical advice.

We may use personal information to:

  • maintain business records;

  • manage complaints or disputes;

  • enforce our Terms and Conditions;

  • establish, exercise or defend legal claims;

We may use your contact details to send you information about BuiltByJT services, content or offers where:

  • you have given consent;

  • you have requested such communications; or

  • applicable law otherwise permits us to contact you.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe option in the communication or contacting us directly.

We will not use health information for marketing without separate and explicit permission.

Explicit Consent for Health Information

Before collecting health information for coaching purposes, we may ask you to provide a clear statement of explicit consent.

For example:

“I explicitly consent to BuiltByJT collecting and using the health and injury information I provide for the purpose of assessing, delivering and adapting my fitness coaching.” Consent to process health information should be collected separately from agreement to general Terms and Conditions or consent to receive marketing. You may withdraw this consent by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

When You Must Provide Information

Certain information is necessary for us to:

  • respond to your application;

  • assess your coaching requirements;

  • enter into a coaching agreement;

  • process payment; and

  • provide coaching safely and effectively.

Where you do not provide required information, we may be unable to accept your application or provide some or all of the requested services.

  • you have authorised us to do so;

  • it is necessary to protect someone’s vital interests in an emergency; or

  • we are legally required to disclose it.

International Data Transfers

Some service providers may store or process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate legal safeguard is in place. This may include:

  • transferring information to a country covered by UK adequacy regulations;

  • relying on another legally recognised transfer mechanism; and

  • applying appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

You may contact us for further information about the safeguards used for international transfers.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, tax, insurance and dispute-resolution requirements.

Our anticipated retention periods are:

  • unsuccessful coaching enquiries and applications: up to 12 months after the last communication;

  • general correspondence: up to 24 months after the last meaningful communication;

  • active client coaching records: for the duration of coaching;

  • training, progress and health records: up to [three years] after coaching ends, unless a longer period is reasonably required;

  • website analytics information: in accordance with the retention settings of the relevant analytics provider; and

  • complaint or legal-dispute records: for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve the issue and comply with legal limitation periods.

We may retain information for longer where:

  • there is an ongoing complaint or legal dispute;

  • we are required to do so by law;

  • it is necessary for insurance purposes; or

  • we reasonably believe litigation may arise.

Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted, anonymised or destroyed.

Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against:

  • unauthorised access;

  • accidental loss;

  • alteration;

  • disclosure;

  • destruction; and

  • misuse.

Measures may include:

  • secure passwords and multi-factor authentication;

  • access controls;

  • reputable cloud and software providers;

  • encrypted systems where appropriate;

  • device-security controls;

  • secure deletion practices; and

  • limiting access to information to those who reasonably need it.

No internet-based system is completely secure. Although we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Personal Data Breaches

If a personal-data breach occurs, we will assess the nature and potential consequences of the breach.

Where legally required, we will report the breach to the Information Commissioner’s Office and notify affected individuals.
