Privacy

This site belongs to me, James Ecroyd, a coach based in Christchurch, NZ. Here's what I collect, why, and what you can do about it.

When you apply for coaching

The application asks about your goals, training, food, lifestyle and health, plus how to contact you. I use it to decide whether we're a good fit and to talk to you about coaching. Nothing else.

Your answers save as you go, including if you leave before the end, so you can pick up where you left off and so I can follow up if you gave me a way to reach you. You don't have to answer anything, but without contact details I can't get back to you.

If you add physique photos, they're stored privately, never public, and only I can open them. Your phone's hidden photo data (like location) is stripped before upload. They're deleted along with your application.

When you visit

I count page visits and taps on buttons so I know what's useful. That's stored with a random code that only lasts while your tab is open, plus your rough country, your device type and the link tag you arrived from. No cookies, no ad trackers, and nothing that identifies you.

Who sees it

Only me. I don't sell or share it. The site runs on Cloudflare, so your information is stored on their servers, which may be outside New Zealand. If email alerts are switched on, a summary of new applications is sent to my inbox through an email service.

How long I keep it

Unfinished applications, and any photos with them, are deleted automatically after 12 months unless we've been in touch, and visit counts after 13 months. Finished applications are kept while they're useful for coaching you, and deleted if you ask.

Your rights

You can ask to see what I hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted. Message me on Instagram (@jamesecroyd) or WhatsApp (027 432 3310). If you're not happy with how I've handled it, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
