Under UK data protection law, we need a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

Contract

We may need to use your information to provide a coaching programme or other service you have purchased, or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Legitimate Interests

We may use information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

This may include managing our business, responding to enquiries, improving our services and maintaining appropriate business records.

Consent

Where required, we will ask for your consent before using your personal information for a particular purpose, such as certain marketing communications.

You can withdraw consent at any time.

Legal Obligation

We may process information where necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.


5. Coaching Information and Confidentiality

Coaching can involve sharing personal information about your circumstances, experiences, goals, challenges and aspirations.

We will treat information shared with us during coaching as confidential, subject to legal or safeguarding requirements.

Please be aware that coaching is not a healthcare service and EAT Life Academy does not provide medical or psychological diagnosis or treatment.

You should only share information that you are comfortable providing and that is relevant to the coaching relationship.

Where you voluntarily provide information that may fall within a special category of personal data under UK GDPR, we will handle it appropriately and only process it where we have a lawful basis and, where required, an additional condition under data protection law.


6. Who We Share Your Information With

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share relevant information with trusted service providers where this is necessary to operate EAT Life Academy and provide our services.

These may include:

  • Stripe – for processing payments

  • Zoom – for online coaching sessions

  • Website hosting and website service providers

  • Email and communication providers

  • Booking or scheduling platforms

  • IT, technical and administrative service providers

  • Professional advisers, where necessary

  • Government bodies, regulators or law enforcement where we are legally required to do so

We only share information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this occurs, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal information is protected in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.


7. Payments

Payments for EAT Life Academy programmes are processed securely through Stripe.

EAT Life Academy does not normally receive or store your full payment card details.

Stripe processes payment information in accordance with its own privacy and security policies.

You can find further information about Stripe's privacy practices on the Stripe website.


8. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from:

  • Unauthorised access

  • Loss

  • Misuse

  • Accidental disclosure

  • Unauthorised alteration or destruction

Access to personal information is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the operation of EAT Life Academy.

However, no online transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.


9. How Long We Keep Your Information

We will only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including where necessary to meet legal, accounting, contractual or reporting requirements.

The length of time we retain information will depend on the type of information and why we need it.

For example, information relating to financial transactions may need to be retained for longer than general enquiry correspondence because of legal and accounting requirements.

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymise it.

  • The right to be informed about how your personal information is used
