Your information, in plain English.

This notice explains what happens to the information you give me through this website. I'm Charles Onwuzuruike (“Dr. Charles”), and I'm responsible for it. You can reach me at drcharlesfit@gmail.com or by DM on Instagram.

What I collect

• The intake form: your name, Instagram or TikTok handle, email, and whatever you choose to tell me about your age, job, goal, weight, height, training, what's got in the way, budget, start date and call times.
• Health information: the form has an optional box for injuries, medical conditions or medication. This is special category data, so I only store it because you tick the consent box. Leave the box empty if you'd rather tell me on a call.
• Questions you send me, and whether you're happy for me to answer them in a video without your name.
• A scrambled version of your IP address, kept only to stop spam (no more than 4 forms in 15 minutes). It can't be turned back into your IP address.

The quiz and the calorie calculator run in your browser. Nothing you type into them is sent to me or saved.

Why I use it

• To read your request, reply to you, and decide with you whether coaching or the guide is the right fit. This is at your request, before any agreement (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)).
• Health information is used only to keep any plan safe for you, with your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a)). You can withdraw it at any time.
• Spam protection and keeping the site working (legitimate interests, Article 6(1)(f)).

I don't sell your information, share it with advertisers, or add you to a mailing list you didn't ask for.

Who else handles it

• Cloudflare hosts this website and the database where form answers are stored.
• Resend sends me an email alert with your answers when you submit the form.
• Google runs the booking page (Google Calendar) if you book a call, and serves the fonts on this site.
• Gumroad handles payment and delivery if you buy the guide. I never see your card details.

Some of these companies store data outside the UK. They protect it with the UK's approved safeguards, such as the International Data Transfer Addendum or standard contractual clauses.

How long I keep it

• Requests that don't turn into coaching: deleted within 12 months.
• Coaching clients: kept while we work together and for 2 years after, then deleted.
• Anything, at any time, if you ask me to delete it.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information I hold about you, correct it, delete it, limit how I use it, take a copy of it, or withdraw your consent. Email drcharlesfit@gmail.com and I'll reply within a month. If you're unhappy with how I've handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Cookies

This site doesn't use tracking or advertising cookies, so there's no cookie banner. Google Fonts receives your IP address when it sends the fonts, as any website request does.

Under 18s

Coaching and the form are for adults only. If you're under 18, please don't send the form.
