Total Coach privacy policy

INTRODUCTION 

The Total Coach website, apps and related products and services (together, Services) are provided by Andark Holdings Limited, a New Zealand company, doing business as Total Coach (weusour).  

We comply with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 (NZ Privacy Act) and other applicable privacy and data protection laws (including, where applicable, the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (GDPR) and the equivalent laws of the United Kingdom (UK GDPR)) when dealing with personal information.  

Personal information is information about an identifiable individual (a natural person), and includes personal data, personally identifiable information and equivalent information under applicable privacy and data protection laws.  

This policy does not limit or exclude any of your rights under the NZ Privacy Act or other applicable privacy and data protection laws.  

If you are located in the European Union (EU) or the United Kingdom (UK) and access or use our Services or have other dealings with us, the additional terms in GDPR Addendum below (GDPR Addendum) apply to you.

This policy was drafted with brevity and clarity in mind.  It does not provide exhaustive detail of all aspects of our collection and use of personal information.  We are happy to provide any additional information or explanation needed.  Any request for further information should be sent to hello@totalcoach.com.


CHANGES TO THIS POLICY 

We may change this policy by uploading a revised policy onto our website.  The change will apply from the date that we upload the revised policy.  

This policy was last updated on Feb 12, 2024.


WHEN DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLY

This privacy policy applies to the personal information we collect:

Users of our Services (Users) may collect personal information from individuals (e.g. their employees and customers) and upload, store or process that information (User Data) to or in our Services.  

Our Users determine what and how they collect, use, disclose and transfer User Data.  This means that our Users’ collection and use of User Data is governed by their privacy policy and practices, not ours.  For the purposes of the NZ Privacy Act, we are our Users’ agent when processing User Data.  For the purposes of the GDPR and the UK GDPR, our Users are the data controller when storing or otherwise processing User Data and we are the data processor.  For the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), we are a service provider to our Users when processing User Data.  

We only process User Data as authorised by our Users in our Total Coach Terms of Use (available at Terms of Use) and we require our Users to comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws.  Unless required otherwise under applicable law, if we receive any request or enquiry relating to User Data, we will forward this request to our relevant User.     

The remainder of this privacy policy does not apply to User Data.


CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from a child under 16 without obtaining verifiable consent from that child’s parent or guardian.  If you are a child under 16, please do not attempt to send any personal information about yourself to us before we obtain parental consent.  Please review this privacy policy with your parent or guardian and make sure you understand it. 

[We do not intend to collect personal information from or about children aged under 16.  If you have reason to believe that we have collected personal information from or about a child under the age of 16 without verifiable consent from that child’s parent or guardian, please contact us athello@totalcoach.com.]


WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT 

Personal information we collect directly from you

We collect personal information about you from you, when you provide that personal information to us, including via our website, through any registration or subscription process, through any contact with us (e.g. telephone call or email), or when you buy or use our Services.

The personal information we collect may include:

We do not process sensitive information.

[We may collect some of this information using third-party authentication services (as described further in the from third party sources section below).]

Some of the personal information that we collect directly from you may be mandatory and some may be optional.  We will let you know which of these applies at the time we collect the relevant personal information.  While you do not have to provide us with some of the information that we may request, this might mean that our Services may not perform as well as they should, or that we may not be able to provide some parts of our Services to you.  If you require further information about the consequences of not providing us with any information, please contact us at hello@totalcoach.com.

We use Stripe to process credit card transactions.  We do not have access to your credit card information.  You can see further information about how Stripe processes your credit card information in its privacy policy at https://stripe.com/en-nz/privacy

DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose your personal information to: 

If you are under 16 and use our Services, you understand that your parent will have access to information about you held in the Services.

[When you share personal information (for example, by posting comments, contributions, or other content to our Services) or otherwise interact with public areas of our Services, such personal information may be viewed by all users and may be publicly made available outside our Services in perpetuity.  If you interact with other users of our Services and register for our Services through a social network (such as Facebook), your contacts on that social network will see your name, profile photo, and descriptions of your activity.  Similarly, other users will be able to view descriptions of your activity, communicate with you within our Services, and view your profile.]

When you click on an Offer Wall, you will be brought to an external website belonging to other persons and will leave our Services.  A unique identifier, such as your user ID, will be shared with the Offer Wall provider in order to prevent fraud and properly credit your account with the relevant reward.]

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

A business that supports our Services may be located outside of New Zealand (the country where we are incorporated) and also outside of the country where you are located.  This means that the personal information we collect may be transferred to, and stored in, a country outside of New Zealand and the country where you are located.  In particular, our website and apps are hosted in Australia.  

If you are located in the EU or UK, your personal information may be transferred outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).  Please see the GDPR Addendum for further information about personal data transfers from the EEA.


PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

As required by applicable law, we will take steps to keep your personal information safe from loss, unauthorised activity, or other misuse.  We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks inherent in processing personal information. 

You play an important role in keeping your personal information secure by maintaining the confidentiality of any password and accounts used in relation to our Services.  You should not disclose your password to third parties.  Please notify us immediately if there is any unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security.


ACCESSING AND CORRECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Subject to certain grounds for refusal under applicable law, you have the right to access your personal information that we hold and to request a correction to your personal information.  Before you exercise this right, we will need evidence to confirm that you are the individual to whom the personal information relates.

Where you request a correction, if we think the correction is reasonable and we are reasonably able to change your personal information, we will make the correction.  In all other cases, we will take reasonable steps to make a note of the personal information that was the subject of your correction request.

If you want to exercise either of the above rights, email us at hello@totalcoach.com.  Your email should provide evidence of who you are and set out the details of your request (e.g. the personal information to be corrected and the correction that you are requesting).

GDPR addendum

If you are located in the EU or UK and access or use our Services or have other dealings with us, this GDPR Addendum forms part of our privacy policy.

The GDPR and UK GDPR regulate the collection, processing and transfer of EU and UK (respectively) individuals’ personal data (as defined in the GDPR and UK GDPR).  The personal information described in our privacy policy is personal data under the GDPR and UK GDPR.  We are committed to complying with the GDPR and UK GDPR when dealing with personal data of our website visitors and Service users based in the EU or UK. 

This GDPR Addendum was drafted with brevity and clarity in mind.  It does not provide exhaustive detail of all aspects of our collection and use of personal data.  However, we are happy to provide any additional information or explanation needed.  Any requests for further information should be sent to hello@totalcoach.com.

For the purposes of the GDPR and UK GDPR:

We will not process User Data except as provided in our Total Coach Terms of Use (available at Terms of Use and we require our Users to comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws.  Unless required otherwise under applicable law, if we receive any request or enquiry relating to User Data, we will forward this request to our relevant User.     

The remainder of this GDPR Addendum does not apply to User Data.


LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

Our lawful basis for processing (as that term is defined in the GDPR and UK GDPR) personal data that we collect, use and disclose depends on the personal data collected and the context in which we collect it.  

Generally, we collect personal data from you where we have your consent, where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, or where processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests (except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms).  

Where we process personal data based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

If you would like to exercise any of your above rights, please contact us at hello@totalcoach.com.  If you are not satisfied by the way we deal with your query, you may refer your query to your local data protection authority.


INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS 

If you are located in the EU, your personal data may be transferred outside of the EEA.  Under the GDPR, the transfer of personal data to a country outside the EEA may take place where the European Commission has decided that the country ensures an adequate level of protection.  In the absence of an adequacy decision, we may transfer personal data if other appropriate safeguards are in place.

If you are located in the UK, your personal data may be transferred outside of the UK.  Under the UK GDPR, the transfer of personal data to a country outside the UK may take place where the European Commission (as at 31 December 2020) or the UK government has decided that the country ensures an adequate level of protection.  In the absence of an adequacy decision, we may transfer personal data if other appropriate safeguards are in place.

Where we transfer personal data outside the EEA or UK, it will only be transferred to countries that have been identified as providing adequate protection for EU/UK data, or to a third party where approved transfer mechanisms are in place to protect your personal data (e.g. by entering into the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses).  For further information, please contact at hello@totalcoach.com.

Some of the personal data we collect is processed in New Zealand.  New Zealand is recognised for GDPR and UK GDPR purposes as a country that has an adequate level of data protection and we rely on this decision in transferring personal data to New Zealand.

Some of the personal data we collect is processed in Australia.
