8. COOKIES

I collect information directly from you in a number of ways. One way is through the use of ‘cookies’. Most websites use cookies in order to make them work or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. They help to understand how customers and potential customers use my website so I can develop and improve the design, layout, content and function of the site. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive by websites that you visit. They save and retrieve pieces of information about your visit to the website – for example, how you entered the site, how you navigated through the site and what information and documentation were of interest to you. This means that when you go back to a website, it can give you tailored options based on the information it has stored about you on your last visit.

Some of these cookies are used to simply collect information about how visitors use our website and these types of cookies collect information in an anonymous form.

Where there is a login process relating to buying products or services from me, we also use cookies to store personal registration information so that you do not have to provide it to us again on subsequent visits.

The rules about cookies on websites have recently changed. If you are uncomfortable with the use of cookies, you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in the preferences or options menu in your browser. You can set your browser to reject or block cookies or to tell you when a website tries to put a cookie on your computer. You can also delete any cookies that are already stored on your computer’s hard drive. However, please be aware that if you do delete and block all cookies from our website, parts of the site will not work. This is because some of the cookies we use are essential for parts of our website to operate. Likewise, you may not be able to use some products and services on other websites without cookies.

To find out more about cookies, including seeing what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

If you do not wish to accept cookies from our website, please leave this site immediately and then delete and block all cookies from this site.

9. LINKS TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

My Websites contain links to other Internet websites. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, I am not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites, including such sites‘ use of any personal information. Nevertheless, in the event you encounter any third party associated with my Websites (or who claims association with my Websites) who you feel is improperly collecting or using information about you, please contact tonymacsfitness@gmail.com; I will be happy to forward your message to the third party.

10. SECURITY

I use reasonable security methods to protect the personal information that I process, including Internet standard encryption technology (“SSL“ or “Secure Socket Layer“ technology) to encode personal information that you send to us through our Websites. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that‘s transferred over the SSL connection. To check that you are in a secure area of the Website before sending personal information to me, please look at the top left of your website browser and check that it displays an image of a closed padlock or an unbroken key.

However, please note that whilst I take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the personal information that you provide to me, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure. Consequently, please note that I cannot guarantee the security of any personal information that you transfer to me over the Internet.

11. YOUR RIGHTS

The following section explains your rights. The various rights are not absolute and each is subject to certain exceptions or qualifications.

We will grant your request only to the extent that it follows from our assessment of your request that we are allowed and required to do so under data protection laws. Nothing in this Privacy Statement is intended to provide you with rights beyond or in addition to your rights as a data subject under data protection laws.

1. THE RIGHT TO BE INFORMED

You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how I use your personal information and your rights. This is why I'm providing you with the information in this Privacy Statement.

2. THE RIGHT OF ACCESS

You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal information (if I'm processing it), and other certain information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Statement) about how it is used. This is so you’re aware and can check that I'm using your personal information in accordance with data protection law.

I can refuse to provide information where to do so may reveal personal information about another person or would otherwise negatively impact another person‘s rights.

3. THE RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION

You can ask us to take reasonable measures to correct your personal information if it’s inaccurate or incomplete. e.g. if I have the wrong date of birth or name for you.

4. THE RIGHT TO ERASURE

This is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your personal information where there’s no compelling reason for me to keep using it or its use is unlawful. This is not a general right to erasure and there are exceptions, e.g. where I need to use the information in defence of a legal claim.

5. THE RIGHT TO RESTRICT PROCESSING

You have rights to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your personal information when I am assessing a request for rectification or as an alternative to erasure. When processing is restricted, I can still store your personal information, but may not use it further. I keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their personal information to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in future.

6. THE RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have rights to obtain and reuse certain personal information for your own purposes across different organisations. This enables you to move, copy or transfer your personal information easily between my IT systems and theirs (or directly to yourself) safely and securely, without affecting its usability. This only applies to your personal information that you have provided to me that we are processing with your consent or to perform a contract which you are a party to (such as pay and compensation services), which is being processed by automated means.

7. THE RIGHT TO OBJECT

You have the right to object to certain types of processing, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time insofar as that processing takes place for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by Tony McDonnell Fit For Life or by a third party. I will be allowed to continue to process the personal information if we can demonstrate “compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override [your] interests, rights and freedoms” or we need this for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

8. RIGHTS IN RELATION TO AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING AND PROFILING

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling), which significantly affects you, subject to some exceptions. Where this is the case, you have the right to obtain human intervention, voice your concerns and to have the decision reviewed.

12. UPDATING THIS STATEMENT

I review my privacy practices from time to time. I ask that you bookmark and periodically review this page for updates to the Privacy Statement. I reserve the right to modify this policy effective seven (7) days after the posting of the revised Privacy Statement.

Before assessing your request, I may request additional information in order to identify you. If you do not provide the requested information and, as a result, I am not in a position to identify you, I may refuse to action your request.
