5. Marketing and communications
We may use your data to suggest services or offers that may interest you.
We will only share your data with third-party marketing providers if you give your express opt-in consent.
Currently, we use the following marketing and communication platforms:
- Fitness Business Profits / Lead Connect (UK/USA) – our main CRM system for managing client relationships, communications, and marketing.
- Mailgun (US) – integrated with Lead Connect to send automated emails.
- Twilio (US) – integrated with Lead Connect to send SMS/text messages.
- GoTeamUp (UK/EU) – our club management app that stores membership, contact, health, and emergency details.
- ClickSend (Australia/Global) – for sending informative or service-related SMS texts (not marketing).
- WhatsApp (Meta Platforms, Inc.) – for direct communication with members who have provided their phone numbers.
We may also use your photos, videos, or testimonials in our marketing materials or social media content (including Facebook and Instagram), but only where you have provided your explicit consent. Where such content is published on social media, the platform (Meta) acts as an independent data controller. You can view their respective privacy policies for more information on how they handle data.
If data is transferred outside the UK, safeguards are applied (see section 8 below). You can opt out of marketing at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” in our emails or contacting us directly.

We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including legal, accounting, and reporting requirements.
- Client data is generally kept for up to 7 years after your last interaction with us (for tax and legal purposes).
- Marketing data is kept until you opt out or withdraw consent.
- Health data is deleted once it is no longer necessary to provide our services or meet safeguarding requirements.
If you want more details about retention for a specific type of data, please contact us.
8. International transfers
Some of our service providers are located outside the UK. Whenever your personal data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure it is protected by one of the following safeguards:
- The destination country has been granted an adequacy decision by the UK government.
- We have signed UK-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with the provider.
- For US providers, we may rely on the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
You can request further details about these safeguards by contacting us.
