Privacy notice

This notice explains what information I collect when you use this website, send an enquiry or become a client, why I need it, who else handles it and what your rights are.

Who is responsible for your information

B. Morvay Coaching is run by Balazs Morvay, a sole trader based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I decide how your information is used. Contact me at morvaybalazs@gmail.com or on 07914 390913.

What I collect

When you visit this website

This website sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device and uses no analytics that follow you around. Its fonts and images come from this site, not from other companies. Netlify, which hosts the site, keeps standard server records, such as your IP address and the pages you asked for, to run and protect the site.

If you follow a link to another site, such as Google Maps or WhatsApp, that site's own privacy notice applies.

When you send an enquiry

Your name, email address, phone number if you give it, and your message. The form also sends how you found the site: the campaign tag in the link you followed, if there was one, and the name of the website that sent you here, if your browser shares it. Please don't include medical details in the enquiry form.

If you become a client

• Your questionnaire answers: goals, schedule, training experience, equipment and food preferences
• Health information: health conditions, injuries, medicines, allergies and symptoms that affect safe exercise or nutrition advice
• What you record during coaching: training logs, weigh-ins, check-ins and end-of-block reviews
• Messages and any videos or photos you choose to send me
• Your agreement, payment records and records of your consent

I don't need your full medical records. Optional questions can be left blank. Please don't send me information about other people unless we've agreed it's needed.

Why I use it, and the legal basis

• Answering your enquiry: taking steps you asked for before an agreement (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)).
• Providing your coaching: performing our agreement (Article 6(1)(b)).
• Your health information: your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a)), which you give in the intake form. You can withdraw it at any time by contacting me. This doesn't make earlier use unlawful, but I may not be able to keep coaching you safely without it, and I'll explain that if it happens.
• Accounts and tax: my legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c)).
• Complaints and legal claims: my legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) and, for health information, Article 9(2)(f).
• Testimonials and photos: only with your separate permission, which is optional.

I never sell your information or use it for anyone else's marketing.

Who else handles your information

These companies handle information for me to provide the service:

• Netlify: hosts this website and receives the enquiry form.
• Google: Gmail for email, Google Forms for your questionnaire, check-ins and reviews, and Google Drive and Google Sheets to store your records and your training log. Google Drive's desktop app keeps a copy on my computer so I can work offline.
• Anthropic: an AI assistant (Claude, made by Anthropic) helps me prepare and check your plan from your answers, including your health answers. I review every plan before you receive it, and I make the decisions about your coaching.
• WhatsApp (Meta) or Apple iMessage: if you message me there. Both use end-to-end encryption.
• Payments: if you pay through a card or payment service, that provider handles your payment details and I receive confirmation of the payment. If you pay by bank transfer, I see the payment on my bank statement.

I may also share information with professional advisers, my insurer or the authorities where that is necessary and lawful.

Some of these companies store or process information outside the UK, mainly in the United States. Where they do, the transfer is protected by UK safeguards, such as the UK-US data bridge or approved contract terms. Ask me if you'd like the details.

How I keep it safe

Only I can open your records. When I share your training plan with you, I share only your own sheet, never the folder where I keep your notes and health answers. Your health answers are never published.

Decisions about you

Software, including the AI assistant, helps me organise your answers and prepare your plan. I check every plan and make every coaching decision. No decision with legal or similarly significant effects is made about you by software alone.

How long I keep it

• Enquiries that don't lead to coaching: deleted within 12 months of our last contact.
• Coaching records (questionnaire, health answers, plans, check-ins and messages): reviewed when coaching ends and deleted within 24 months, unless you ask me to delete them sooner, or I need to keep something for a complaint or legal claim.
• Agreements, payment and consent records: kept for 6 years after coaching ends, for tax and legal reasons.

Your rights

You can ask me to give you a copy of your information, correct it, delete it, limit how I use it, send it to you in a portable format, or stop using it for a purpose you object to. Where I rely on your consent, you can withdraw it. Some rights have legal exceptions, and I'll explain if one applies.

Email me to use your rights. I may need to confirm who you are. I normally reply within one month.

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint. You're welcome to contact me first, but you don't have to.

Changes to this notice

If the way I use your information changes in a way that matters, I'll update this notice and tell current clients. Where new consent is needed, I'll ask for it.
