Privacy Policy
This policy explains how BookMyTrainer ("we", "us") collects, uses and protects your personal data, and your rights under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR. BookMyTrainer is currently in private beta.
1. What we collect
- Account data — name, email address and (if you use it) mobile number, and your role (trainer or client).
- Trainer data — public profile details you choose to publish (headline, city, specialties, bio, rates).
- Training data — clients, sessions, packages, payments you record, and messages between trainers and clients.
- Reviews — ratings and review text clients leave for trainers.
- Technical data — essential cookies/local storage used to keep you signed in.
2. Legal basis
We process your data to perform our contract with you (providing the service), on the basis of your consent (e.g. publishing a public profile), and for our legitimate interests in operating and securing the platform.
3. How we use it
- To provide the trainer dashboard and client portal.
- To let trainers manage clients and clients view their plan, book and message.
- To publish trainer profiles and reviews in our public directory (only when a trainer chooses to publish).
- To keep the service secure and prevent abuse.
4. Sharing
We do not sell your data. Published trainer profiles and reviews are publicly visible by design. We use trusted infrastructure providers (Google Firebase for authentication and database, Cloudflare for hosting) who process data on our behalf under data-processing terms.
5. International transfers
Our providers may process data outside your country. Where they do, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) apply.
6. Retention
We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete your personal data from our systems. Some records may be retained where required by law.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- Access — get a copy of your data (in the app: Settings → Export my data).
- Rectification — correct inaccurate data.
- Erasure — delete your account and data (in the app: Settings → Delete my account).
- Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format (JSON export).
- Object / restrict — object to or restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent — e.g. unpublish your public profile at any time.
To exercise any right, use the in-app tools or email [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO).
8. Cookies
We use only essential cookies and local storage needed to sign you in and remember basic preferences. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
9. Children
BookMyTrainer is not intended for children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes
We may update this policy and will revise the date above. Material changes will be highlighted in the app.
