Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24th July 2026

Lawers Skai ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, how we use it, and your rights regarding it, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who We Are

Lawers Skai is operated by Patrick Phillips, a sole trader based in Kippen, Stirlingshire, Scotland. For any questions about this policy or your personal data, contact:

What Personal Data We Collect

We may collect the following:

  • Contact details — name, email address, and phone number, when you use our contact form, book a discovery call, or sign up to the newsletter

  • Session and coaching information — notes relevant to your coaching journey, which may include information about your wellbeing, personal history, or physical fitness where relevant to outdoor sessions

  • Newsletter data — your email address and any preferences, if you subscribe

  • Website usage data — general analytics about how visitors use our website (e.g. pages visited), where cookies or analytics tools are used

  • Payment information — where applicable, processed securely by our third-party payment provider [insert provider, e.g. Stripe]; we do not store full card details ourselves

Special Category Data

As a wellness coach, some information shared during sessions may relate to your mental or physical wellbeing. This is considered "special category data" under UK GDPR and is treated with particular care. We only collect and use this information with your explicit consent, and solely to provide you with appropriate, personalised coaching.

How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data to:

  • Respond to enquiries and provide coaching services

  • Deliver newsletter content, where you have opted in

  • Maintain accurate session records to support your coaching journey

  • Improve our website and services

  • Meet legal or regulatory obligations, where applicable

Our Lawful Basis for Processing

  • Contract — to provide the coaching services you have booked

  • Consent — for newsletter sign-ups and any special category data shared during sessions

  • Legitimate interests — for basic website analytics and business administration

You may withdraw consent at any time (see "Your Rights" below).

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with trusted third-party services that help us operate, including:

  • Email and newsletter platforms (e.g. Mailchimp)

  • Video calling software for remote sessions (e.g. Zoom)

  • Payment processors, where applicable

Some of these providers may be based outside the UK or EEA (for example, in the United States). Where this is the case, we take reasonable steps to ensure your data is protected to a standard consistent with UK GDPR, such as relying on providers' Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary:

  • Coaching session records: [insert retention period, e.g. up to 7 years, or a shorter period if appropriate to your practice]

  • Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe or request deletion

  • Enquiry/contact form data: [insert period, e.g. 12 months] if no ongoing relationship develops

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of online transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Request correction of inaccurate data

  • Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to certain legal exceptions

  • Restrict or object to how we process your data

  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format

  • Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal

To exercise any of these rights, contact patrickphillipscoach@protonmail.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has been mishandled.
