Privacy Policy

27 July 2023

Statement of Intent

This privacy policy tells clients, members and users of services provided by Integral8 Ltd, its Websites, and its coaching sessions what to expect when Integral8 Ltd collects, uses, retains, and discloses your personal information. Personal information is information that (on its own or together with other information) identifies you and is about you. This includes what you tell us about yourself and what we learn by having you as client, website user, or client.

Integral8 Ltd is an entity owned by Peter Dawson, who’s intention it is to ensure that any data you provide is managed respectfully, kept secure and only used for the lawful purposes for which it has been provided.

Within this policy, we describe instances where Integral8 Ltd is the ‘data controller’ (the organisation who decides what personal information is collected and how it is used), and where we direct or commission the processing of personal information by third parties on our behalf to provide services or improve our offering. This policy will be updated from time to time in line with prevailing legislation.

Our commitment to your privacy

Integral8 Ltd recognises the importance of protecting personal and confidential information in all that we do, and takes care to meet our legal and professional duties. Integral8 Ltd puts in place all reasonable technical, security and procedural controls required to protect your personal information for the whole of its like, in whatever format we hold that information in.

How the law protects you

Your privacy is protected by law, which says that we can use your personal information only if we have a proper reason to do so. This includes sharing it outside of Integral8 Ltd. The reasons why Integral8 Ltd may process your personal information are:

• To fulfil an explicit or implied contract we have with you (provision of services);

• When it is our legal duty;

• When it is in our legitimate interest; or

• When you consent to it.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, but this must not unfairly go against your rights of freedoms. If we rely on legitimate interest, we will tell you what this is within our privacy policy.

At the end of this document is a list of the ways that we may use your personal information, and which of the reasons we rely on to do so. This is also where we tell you what our legitimate interests are.

What types of personal information do we handle?

We process personal information to enable us to run Integral8 Ltd, and to support the provision of services provided by itself and its Coaches, as well as to maintain our accounts and promote our products and services.

The types of personal information we (Integral8 Ltd) use include:

• Personal details such as names, addresses, telephone numbers;

• Your relationship to other clients (where they make referrals);

• Details of how you use our website(s), and where you accessed them from;

• Details of how you interact with us on social media;

• Details of when you contact us and when we contact you;

 Personal information gathered from our website:

• We collect personal information when you use or access our website(s) including via cookies. Cookies are small files, which ask permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive so that we can analyse web traffic to our site. Through this we can see which of our website’s pages are being viewed and are of interest. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but you can modify your setting to decline them if you prefer. If you choose to do this you may find you cannot make full use of our website.

We collect personal information when you contact us via our website, phone or email we may collect your:

• Name;

• Email Address;

• Telephone Number;

• Any information you choose to supply regarding the purpose of your enquiry.

We collect personal information when we receive incoming telephone calls:

Calls to mobile phones go directly to the handset owner (Coach) who will receive any voicemails or caller information personally.

We collect personal information when we receive electronic mail and messaging communications including contact via the website(s):

All incoming emails sent to ‘peter@integral8.com’ are received by Peter Dawson, as well as being stored on the email server until such time as this is deleted. This email account is not accessed by any other person and has a unique username and password required to access it.

For online communications, personal information may be collected via chat/ messenger services such as Skype or FB Messenger. This information may be noted in line with our policy on session notes (below).

We collect personal information verbally:

Information may be taken verbally either face-to-face or online, for example at one of our coaching sessions, or within a group setting. This includes during coaching sessions, meetings and workshops.

Verbal information may be noted for the purposes of executing our services and our legitimate interest or use. For example, during coaching sessions, meetings and workshops Coaches may make notes, which they deem appropriate to provide the service and for their own legitimate interest or use.

You may be asked to sign a clause that you have understood your rights within GDPR when you first register for coaching sessions with us. In such cases, this form will be kept for lawful purposes.

Face-to-Face meetings, coaching sessions and workshops: Some services from time to time include a video recording, audio or photographic record of the session either as part of the service or for use in marketing of Integral8 Ltd. Your consent will be taken upon enrolment.

We collect personal information from third parties:

If you choose not to give personal information

We may need to collect personal information by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, either implied or explicitly stated.

If you choose not to give us this personal information, it may delay or prevent us from meeting our obligations. It may also mean that we cannot provide you with services or products you have opted in for or purchased and may result in annulment of any contracts without a refund. We will notify you if your choice not to give personal information to us would result in a delay or prevent us from meeting our obligations.

Any personal information that is optional will be clearly marked at the point of collection. This does not apply to the content of coaching sessions and workshops.

Who we share your personal information with

Integral8 Ltd will never share or sell your personal information to external companies for their own marketing purposes.

Your personal information will only be shared with third party organisations when required (for example for legal organisations or regulatory requirements, in respect of the products and/ or services you request), as well as to fulfil a contract we have with you. Information is shared minimally on a need to know basis.

These types of organisations include:

• Integral8 Ltd member Coaches including associate or partner Coaches who are responsible for fulfilment of a contract with you.

• Partner companies or 3rd party supplier companies where they are providing or quoting or preparing to provide services for your programme such as SG Pilates or Complete Coherence Ltd or assessment or data analytics providers

• The centre, location where coaching sessions are held

• HM Revenue & Customs, our regulators and other authorities, including fraud and crime prevention agencies (where required by permitted law).

We may share your personal information for these reasons:

• Registering you into coaching sessions

• Contacting you to amend coaching session timings

• Contacting you to collect payments;

• Legal and regulatory compliance;

• Preventing or detecting financial crime;

• Maintaining accountancy records;

• Complaints handling;

• Improving client service;

• Referring you to other service or product providers with your explicit written consent.

Certain services are provided by third party organisations who collect and use personal information in order to provide those services to you. They are known as ‘joint data controllers’ under data protection law. This means that they have a separate responsibility to protect your personal information and will keep you informed about how your personal information will be used.

In the course of usual business, we may use other third party organisations known as ‘data processors’ under the data protection law to support the essential delivery of services. These organisations process your personal information on our behalf.

These types of organisations are used in order to enable us to run Integral8 Ltd efficiently, and they may include some or all the below:

• Accountants;

• Consultants;

• Marketing agencies;

• CRM systems providers;

• Online accountancy programmes;

• Payment processors;

• Sale carts;

• Webinar platforms;

• Survey systems;

• Software systems e.g. Microsoft, Google, Apple, Evernote

• Social Media applications;

• Content management systems;

• Viral sharing applications;

• Autoresponder and email signup services;

• SMTP services;

• Membership site services;

• Community forums;

• Communications services;

• Third party white label software access;

• Governing & Training bodies such as the ICF or Integral Coaching Canada

• FTP services;

• Web hosting services;

• Calendar, Booking & Scheduling Systems.

We only use data processors who are themselves fully compliant with GDPR regulations and seek to receive written assurances from such service providers that they are fully GDPR compliant.

Business or practice premises may operate CCTV surveillance for the purposes of security, and we will seek to confirm that they will handle this information in a compliant and lawful way.  This will not be practicable if your meeting is in a venue such as a hotel, coffee shop, restaurant or other similar establishment or public space.

How long we keep your information

Integral8 Ltd is required under UK tax law to keep your basic personal data (name, address, contact details) for a minimum of 6 years. 

For insurances purposes we are required to maintain records of sessions in line with the statute of limitations which is currently 12 years.

After this point your information will be kept until you notify me otherwise; you have the right to be forgotten so contact Integral8 Ltd if you would like your data to be destroyed.

Marketing

We may use your personal information to tell you about relevant products or services offered by Integral8 Ltd, our Coaches or partners (including providers of services via an affiliate arrangement), as well as to make non-affiliated recommendations that we believe are relevant to you. This is what we mean by ‘marketing’.

We can only use our personal information to send you marketing messages if we either have your consent or a ‘legitimate interest’. Legitimate interest is when we have a business reason to use your information for marketing purposes (which will not unfairly go against your rights and freedoms). In other words, we will not market to you based on legitimate interest if you have told us that you do not want to receive such marketing.

We have a legitimate interest to:

• Send you marketing messages by post, email or social media about products and services that are similar to those which you have already purchased from us (if you have provided us with relevant contact detail(s);

• Contact you to welcome you as a new client, and offer you relevant services;

• Contact you if you decide to leave or cease to be a client of ours, or if you have reached the end of the agreed contract;

• Send you our newsletter, blogs or other similar materials;

• Invite you to take part in additional or complementary services, or events;

• Invite you to make referrals;

• Invite you to leave us feedback, reviews or testimonials;

We will ask for your explicit consent to send any other marketing emails.  You can withdraw your consent or ask us to stop sending you any marketing messages at any time. If you want to do so, please contact us by:

• Following the unsubscribe link on the relevant email;

• Emailing peter@integral8.com

Please note that if you tell us that you no longer wish to receive marketing from us, you will still receive essential service information from us, such as details of changes to the product or services you have from us and updates to this privacy notice.

Your rights under GDPR for individuals

You have the ‘right to be informed’ about how your personal information is used. This is the reason for this privacy policy. Further rights are itemised below.

In order to exercise your rights under data protection law, where there is any doubt, we will need to verify your identity for your security, in order to communicate with you about your personal information.

How to get a copy of your personal information

You can request a copy of your personal information, as well as why we have that personal information, who has access to that personal information and where we got that personal information from at any time. Such requests must be made in writing to the above email. Once we have received your request we will respond within 30 days.

Letting us know if your personal information needs updating

You have the ‘right to rectification’ and to question any information we hold on you that you think is wrong, out of date or incomplete. If you do, we will take reasonable steps to check its accuracy and correct it. If you need to update your contact details and/or the details of others, for example, if you pay for other people, or on behalf of the company you represent, you can also do so by contacting the above email.

If you want us to stop using your personal information

You have the ‘right to object‘ to the use of your personal information, or to ask us to delete, remove or stop using your information if there is no need for us to keep it. This is known as the ‘right to object’ and the ‘right to erasure’ (or ‘right to be forgotten’).

You also have the ‘right to restrict processing’. We may be able to restrict processing of your personal information so that it can only be used for certain things, such as legal claims or to exercise legal rights. In this situation, we would not use or share your information in other ways while it is restricted.

You can ask us to restrict the use of your personal information if:

• It is not accurate;

• It has been used unlawfully but you don’t want us to delete it;

• It is not relevant any more, but you want us to keep it for use in legal claims; or

• You have already asked us to stop using your personal information but you are waiting for us to access your request and conform whether we are permitted to continue using the personal information under data protection law.

If you want to object to how we use your personal information, or ask us to restrict how we use it, please contact us using the details above.  If you want us to erase your personal information, for example, if you feel that we should no longer be using your personal information, or that we are illegally using your data, you can request that we erase the personal information we hold on you.  You can also do this by contacting us using the details above.

When we receive your request, we will confirm whether the personal information has been deleted or tell you the reason why it cannot be deleted. This may include requesting further proof of your identity.  There may be legal reasons why we need to keep your personal information or part thereof.

Your right to portability (obtaining your information in a portable format):

You have the ‘right of access‘ and to get copies of your personal information from us in a format that can be easily re-used (the ‘right to data portability’). You can also ask us to pass on your personal information to other organisations. To request this, please contact us using the details above.

Your right to complain:

If you are not satisfied with our response or believe that we are not processing your personal information in accordance with the law, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) by emailing casework@ice.org.uk or telephoning 0303 123 1113. Additional contact methods are available on their website: https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us
