Last updated: [16-08-26]

PT Marbella Collective (“PT Marbella Collective”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal information when you contact us, book or participate in personal training, massage therapy or other fitness and wellness services provided through PT Marbella Collective.

This policy applies to information collected through our website, enquiry forms, booking processes, client intake forms, Jotform forms, email, WhatsApp and other communication channels used to provide our services.

For questions relating to your personal data or this Privacy Policy, please contact us using the details above.

Where an individual trainer, massage therapist or other professional independently determines the purposes and means of processing personal information, that professional may also have their own data protection responsibilities. We will make this clear where applicable.

Depending on the services you request, we may collect:

Personal and contact information

Fitness and health information

For personal training, fitness and massage services, we may ask for information relevant to safely providing your sessions, including:

  • Injuries

  • Medical conditions

  • Physical limitations

  • Medication where relevant to exercise or treatment

  • Pregnancy or recent childbirth

  • Previous surgeries

  • Pain or areas of discomfort

  • Mobility or movement limitations

  • Relevant medical or treatment information

Health information is treated as special-category personal data under applicable data protection legislation and receives additional protection.

We only ask for information that is relevant to providing or safely adapting the service.

3. How do we use your information?

We may use your personal information to:

  • Respond to enquiries

  • Arrange and manage appointments

  • Match you with an appropriate trainer or therapist

  • Communicate with you regarding your sessions

  • Provide personal training, massage therapy and other wellness services

  • Adapt sessions according to relevant information you provide

  • Manage payments and invoices

  • Process cancellations and enforce applicable booking policies

  • Maintain appropriate client records

  • Provide customer support

  • Deal with complaints or disputes

  • Protect the health and safety of clients and professionals

  • Meet legal, accounting and administrative obligations

  • Improve our services and client experience

  • Send marketing communications where you have provided the appropriate consent

We do not use your health information for unrelated marketing purposes.

4. Health information

Where you provide information about your health, injuries, medical conditions, medication or other health-related matters, we use that information only where necessary for the purposes explained to you.

Because health information is a special category of personal data, where consent is relied upon as the legal basis, we obtain explicit consent through the relevant client intake or health screening form.

You may withdraw your consent to the processing of health information at any time. However, withdrawing consent may mean that we are unable to safely provide certain services where that information is necessary.

Our personal trainers and massage therapists are not responsible for diagnosing medical conditions. Where appropriate, you may be advised to seek medical advice or clearance before participating in training or receiving treatment.

5. Legal bases for processing

Depending on the circumstances, we may process your information on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Contract: where processing is necessary to provide the services you have requested.

  • Consent: where you have voluntarily provided consent, including where explicit consent is required for health information.

  • Legal obligation: where we are required to retain or disclose information to comply with applicable law.

  • Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for legitimate business purposes, provided those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

  • Protection of vital interests: where necessary to protect someone’s life or physical safety.

The specific legal basis may vary depending on the type of information and purpose of processing.

6. Personal trainers, massage therapists and other professionals

PT Marbella Collective works with freelance and self-employed personal trainers, massage therapists, sports coaches and other fitness and wellness professionals.

Where necessary to provide your requested service, we may share relevant client information with the trainer or therapist assigned to you.

For example, your assigned professional may need access to:

  • Your name and contact details

  • Appointment information

  • Relevant fitness goals

  • Relevant health or injury information

  • Massage treatment information

  • Information necessary to safely deliver your session

Professionals are expected to maintain appropriate confidentiality and handle client information securely.

We aim to limit the information shared to what is necessary for the provision and safe delivery of the service.

Where a professional acts as a data processor on our behalf, appropriate contractual arrangements and instructions will apply as required by applicable data protection legislation.

7. Other service providers

We may use trusted third-party service providers to help operate our business, including providers of:

  • Website hosting

  • Online forms

  • Booking and scheduling systems

  • Email

  • Payment processing

  • Accounting and invoicing

  • Client management systems

  • Communication platforms

  • Fitness and training applications

These providers may process personal information on our behalf where necessary to provide their services.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that service providers handling personal information provide appropriate safeguards.

8. WhatsApp and other communication services

We may use WhatsApp, email, telephone and similar communication services to communicate with clients regarding enquiries, appointments, changes, cancellations and service-related matters.

Please be aware that these services are operated by independent third parties and may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

We will avoid sending unnecessary health information through general messaging platforms where possible.

9. Payments and invoices

We may collect and process information necessary to:

  • Issue invoices

  • Receive payments

  • Track outstanding balances

  • Manage refunds

  • Maintain accounting records

Payment card or banking information may be processed directly by our payment provider rather than being stored by PT Marbella Collective.

10. Marketing and photography

We may occasionally request permission to use photographs or videos taken during training, fitness or wellness sessions for marketing purposes, including our website and social media.

Photography or marketing consent is separate from your consent to receive training or massage therapy.

You are not required to consent to marketing photography in order to use our services.

Where consent is provided, you may withdraw it by contacting us.

11. Cookies and website information

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, understand website usage and, where applicable, support marketing activities.

The types of cookies used and your available choices are explained in our Cookie Policy.

12. How long do we keep your information?

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

The retention period may depend on:

  • The nature of the information

  • Whether you remain an active client

  • Legal and accounting requirements

  • The need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims

  • Our legitimate business requirements

Health and treatment information will not be retained indefinitely and will be deleted or securely disposed of when it is no longer necessary, subject to applicable legal retention requirements.

13. International transfers

Some of the technology providers we use may process information outside Spain or the European Economic Area.

Where personal information is transferred outside the EEA, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and that appropriate safeguards are in place.

14. How we protect your information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

  • Unauthorised access

  • Loss

  • Misuse

  • Alteration

  • Disclosure

  • Destruction

Access to client information is limited to people who need it for legitimate business or service-delivery purposes.

However, no online system or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

15. Your data protection rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal information

  • Request correction of inaccurate information

  • Request deletion of your information

  • Request restriction of processing

  • Object to certain processing

  • Request portability of certain information

  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

  • Object to direct marketing

  • Request information about how your data is being processed

To exercise your rights, please contact:

[PRIVACY EMAIL]

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

The AEPD recommends that privacy information clearly explains the individual’s rights, how to exercise them, applicable retention periods, recipients and the legal bases for processing.

16. Right to complain

If you believe that your personal information has not been handled appropriately, please contact us first so that we can investigate and attempt to resolve the issue.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos – AEPD) if you believe your data protection rights have been infringed.

17. Children’s information

Our services may occasionally be provided to minors.

Where services are provided to a child or young person, we may require appropriate parental or legal guardian consent and will collect only information reasonably necessary for providing the service and protecting the participant’s wellbeing.

18. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will always be published on our website with the date of the most recent update.
