Who we are

This website is run by Andy Tait, trading as Tait Fitness, a personal trainer based in Inverness. [Sole trader — confirm.]

For anything about your personal information, contact: andy@taitfitness.com · 07711 898 755

Andy is the "controller" of your personal information, which means he decides how it is used and is responsible for looking after it.

The short version

• Browsing this site and using the calculators: we don't collect or store anything you type in. The calculators run entirely in your browser.
• If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics tells us how the site is used. If you don't, it never loads.
• If you fill in the consultation or nutrition form, we receive your answers, which may include information about your health. We use it only to plan your training or nutrition.

What we collect and why

1. Consultation and nutrition forms

These forms are provided by Google Forms. When you submit one, your answers are stored in Andy's Google account.

• What: your name, contact details, and your answers. This may include information about your health, injuries, medical conditions, medication, diet and lifestyle.
• Why: to assess whether training is safe and suitable for you, and to design your programme or nutrition plan.
• Legal basis: to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement with you, and to provide the service (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). For health information, your explicit consent, which you give when you submit the form (Article 9(2)(a)). You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us; we will then delete your health information, though we may not be able to train you safely without it.
• Who sees it: Andy only [and Grace, Nutrition Coach, for the nutrition form — confirm]. It is never sold or shared for marketing.
• How long we keep it: [for as long as you are a client and for [X] months/years afterwards — choose a period], then deleted.

2. Analytics (only if you click "Accept")

We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit, which pages they use, and roughly where they are (country/region). This helps us improve the site.

• Legal basis: your consent, given through the cookie banner.
• Google Analytics sets cookies named _ga and _ga_<ID>, which last up to [2 years / as configured].
• Analytics data is kept by Google for [2 months / 14 months — match the GA retention setting].
• You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer.
• If you click "Reject", Google Analytics is not loaded at all.

3. Your cookie choice

We remember whether you accepted or rejected analytics, so we don't ask on every visit. This is stored in your browser's local storage (not a cookie) as tf-consent-v1, with the value granted or denied, and contains only your choice. It stays until you change your choice or clear this site's data in your browser. This is strictly necessary and doesn't need consent.

4. Hosting and security

The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like all web hosts, Cloudflare processes your IP address and basic technical information (such as your browser type) to deliver the pages and protect the site from attacks. This is in our legitimate interest in running a secure website. [If Workers Logs are enabled: logs are kept for [X] days.]

Links to other services

The "Book a session" button takes you to [booking system name], and the Instagram button to Instagram. Those services have their own privacy policies, which apply once you leave this site.

Where your information is processed

Google and Cloudflare may process information outside the UK, including in the United States. They do this under safeguards recognised by UK law, such as the UK-US data bridge or the UK's international data transfer agreements.

• ask for a copy of the information we hold about you
• ask us to correct or delete it
