Analytics

Our hosting provider, Bluehost, may be collecting anonymous information in order to monitor and maintain their servers. We do not have access to that data.

Personal Data for Coaching Clients

Personal data is collected as part of the intake process for coaching clients and potential coaching clients. Personal data is also collected throughout the coaching relationship. This personal data is used by your coach to provide coaching services. This data is stored by your coach and is not stored by this website. If you want anyone else to have access to your personal data, you have to explicitly request and agree to that access.

For current coaching clients, we only collect and keep data that is relevant to the coaching services. Since this information can be quite different from person to person, it is not possible to list every kind of data we might collect. In general terms, we will ask for name, contact information, and ability to pay for services, and we will ask for health, wellness, fitness, lifestyle, and motivational information relevant to your coaching goals.  If we ask for information that you are not comfortable sharing, then do not share that information with us. We will let you know of any consequences of not having that information so that you are always informed about your choices.

Scheduling Data

Acuity, our scheduling service collects appointment information, including your name, phone number, email address, date, time, and type of appointment. Since these appointments are fulfilled by telephone or voice over IP, we need this information to confirm the appointment and to meet with you.

Who we share your data with

If you use the contact form to send us a message, your message, name, and email address will be sent to our email server at Bluehost so that it can be delivered to our email account.  Bluehost has its own privacy policies here: https://www.bluehost.com/terms/privacy-policy.   Be aware that if you click on that link you will be taken to a different site, bluehost.com.

Scheduling data is shared with our scheduling service, Acuity. Acuity sends appointment information to your coach.

At any time, we may choose to purge historical data, personal and scheduling, from our systems and archives. This means we will no longer have a copy of that information.  You will NOT be notified of any such purge of data.

Additional information

How we protect your data

We protect your data by limiting access to the data. Only your coach has access to your personal data and each coach is trained in proper data handling techniques. Scheduling information is accessible by you, your coach, and our system administrators.  Access to scheduling information is through accounts at Acuity with strong passwords.

What data breach procedures we have in place

In the case that a data breach is detected with our WordPress database or our scheduling service, we will send an email to every person that we have contact information for in that system notifying them that a data breach has occurred and what information might have been acquired. It is possible in this situation that you will start to get unsolicited emails after a data breach. We always recommend caution when opening email from unknown parties.
