Identification data such as your first name, last name, and password.
Contact data such as address, email address, telephone, or mobile number.

We aim to keep your data safe and protected i.e., we do not disclose this to others unless strictly necessary for performance and delivery of the service we provide you. And, when data is with us, the data stays in a password protected computer or cloud or software.

We keep your personal data until you unsubscribe. If you are a customer, we keep your personal data to provide the ‘lifetime’ access to the membership site. We keep personal data as long as necessary for compliance with law and to maintain our records. For example, accounting data is kept for 7 years years from the end of our relationship with you.

Who We Share Your Data With And Why?
As a small company, we rely on providers to provide us with specialized services. When doing so, we focus on sharing only the necessary data and implement appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data. For example, we ensure we have a contract in place, that we have carried out due diligence on those third parties, that they use password protection and limit access to relevant staff within the company. To ensure that we deliver you the services in an effective way, we share your personal data with following categories of third parties:

Providers of technical and operational support services like website hosting and maintenance, email provisioning, calendars, payment processing, back-ups, customer relationship management, electronic signatures of documents etc.

Contractors who work on our behalf as coaches or support staff only to the extent necessary for them to provide their services.

Law enforcement agencies and courts when it is necessary to do so, or we are obliged by laws to share such information.

Group companies

Advisors, including legal providers, and accountants.

Those organisations involved in a merger or acquisition, or who are involved in a corporate reorganization, joint venture, assignment, sale, or transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business (including in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceedings). Such third parties may include, for example, an acquiring entity and its advisors.
