Privacy Notice
Lucas Sheehan Personal Training Ltd. treats the privacy of its clients very seriously.
This Notice explains how we protect and manage any personal data* you share with us and that we hold about you, including how we collect, process, protect and share that data.
*Personal data means any information that may be used to identify an individual including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information.
1. How We Collect Data About You
1.1 Information Provided by You
You may provide us with personal data on your consultation forms and related questionnaires, online or over the telephone.
This includes your name, address, date of birth, email address and payment and personal details. We use this information to manage and administer your training and nutrition programmes and any requests for support you may make.
We may keep information contained in any correspondence you have with us by post, email or telephone.
We may obtain sensitive personal health and fitness information directly from you when you register with us or which you may provide at the start or during your training programme.
The provision of this information is subject to you giving us express consent. If we do not receive this consent from you, then we may be unable to provide the most appropriate training and nutrition support.
The provision of this personal data is essential for us to be able to collect payments and administer your training programme, including verifying your identity when you contact us to discuss your programme. This means that the legal basis of our holding your personal data is for the performance of a contract.
1.2 Information We Get from Other Sources
We only obtain information from third parties if this is permitted by law. We may also use legal public sources to obtain information about you, for example, to verify your identity.
This information (including your name, address, email address, date of birth, etc.) as relevant to us, will only be obtained from reputable third-party companies that operate in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
You will already have submitted your personal data to these companies and specifically given permission to allow them to pass this information to other companies that provide similar or complimentary services and products to those we offer.

- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you by email or text message. We do sometimes ask for your consent, specifically in relation to special category personal data like your health information, and we will rely on your consent if it is given. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting our data privacy lead whose contact details are provided in section 6 below.

4. Data Accuracy, Security and Retention
4.1 Data Accuracy
To provide the highest possible level of service to all our clients, we need to keep accurate personal data about you.
We take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of any personal data or sensitive information we obtain.
We ensure that the source of any personal data or sensitive information is clear and we carefully consider any challenges to the accuracy of the information.
We also consider when it is necessary to update the information, such as name or address changes and you can help us by informing us of these changes when they occur.
4.2 Data Protection
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
All data is stored on secure servers in the UK and European Union. Laptops and other electronic equipment storing your data are password protected and any paper records that we hold are stored securely and destroyed when no longer needed.
4.3 How Long Do We Keep Information About You?
We only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including the satisfaction of any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we consider:
- the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data
- the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure
- the purposes for which we process the personal data and if we can do this through other means, and
- the applicable legal requirements
In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data, please see below for further information.
In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
5. Your Legal Rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to:
5.1 Request access
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’). This allows you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
5.2 Request correction
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This allows you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
5.3 Request erasure
Request erasure of your personal data. This allows you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Please note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, in response to your request.
5.4 Object to processing
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which overrides your rights and freedoms.
5.5 Request restriction of processing
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This allows you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
- where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
- where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
- you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
5.6 Request the transfer of your personal data
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party that you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (i.e. useable on a computer). Please note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
5.7 Withdraw your consent at any time
Withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services or products to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. Also, we may still be allowed to process your data following the withdrawal of consent if another lawful justification for such processing exists.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact our data privacy lead, whose contact details are provided in section 6 below.
5.8 Charges to Exercise Rights
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
5.9 What We May Need from You
We may need to request specific information from you to help us to confirm your identity and to ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask for further information in relation to your request in order to speed up our response.
5.10 Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
