01. Who This Policy Covers

Anyone who visits this website, submits the contact form, or trains with me.

02. Information I Collect

  • Contact details you give me (name, email, phone) when you enquire or book
  • Training goals and any health or injury information you share, so I can coach you safely, this is treated as health information under the Health Information Privacy Code 2020 and handled with additional care
  • Client progress data (weights, sets, reps, attendance) once you’re training with me
  • Website usage data (pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser) via Google Analytics and Google Ads

03. How I Use Your Information

  • Respond to your enquiry and arrange a consult or session
  • Build and adjust your training program
  • Track your progress and keep session records
  • Send you updates or reminders you’ve asked for
  • Understand website usage and run Google Ads effectively
  • Meet legal, tax, or accounting obligations

I don’t use your information beyond these purposes without asking first.

04. Who I Share It With

I don’t sell your information. I share it only where necessary:

  • With staff at partner venues, where relevant to a session
  • With other healthcare providers, when relevant to your care (for example, coordinating with a physiotherapist), and only with your knowledge and consent
  • With service providers who help run the business (email, scheduling, accounting, analytics), limited to what they need
  • If required by law, or to protect someone’s safety

05. Cookies and Website Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics and Google Ads, which use cookies to track pages visited, time on site, and general location. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics via Google’s browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). The site still works with cookies off.

06. How I Store and Protect Your Information

Stored using reputable cloud tools (email, scheduling, programming software) with industry-standard security. Some of these providers, including Google Analytics, Google Ads, and my form and hosting providers, may process information on servers located outside New Zealand. Where that happens, I use providers that maintain comparable data protection standards. No online system is 100% secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect your information.

07. How Long I Keep It

Enquiry information is kept as long as it’s useful for following up. Client information is kept for our working relationship plus a reasonable period after, for records and legal purposes. You can ask me to delete it any time.

08. Your Rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you can:

  • Ask what information I hold about you
  • Ask me to correct it
  • Ask me to delete it, where reasonably practicable
  • Complain if you think I’ve handled it incorrectly

Email josh@joshkimstrength.com. If unresolved, contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (privacy.org.nz).

09. Children and Young People

This site and these services are for adults. I don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 without a parent or guardian involved.

10. Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy. The date at the top always reflects the latest version.
