Mariel English Coach & Energy Therapist ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect through marielenglish.co.uk, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over it under UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Mariel English Coach & Energy Therapist is the data controller responsible for your personal data. If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, you can contact us at hello@marielenglish.co.uk.
We collect personal data when you interact with our site and services, including when you:
Depending on how you interact with us, this may include: your name, email address, phone number (if provided), payment and billing details, the content of any messages, applications or forms you submit, and technical information such as your IP address and browser type, collected automatically by our hosting provider.
We do not collect any special category data (such as health information) as a condition of using our site. If you choose to share information about your health, circumstances, or personal situation in an application, enquiry, or coaching session, this is provided voluntarily by you and is used solely to provide the service you have requested.
We use your personal data to:
We rely on the following legal bases under UK GDPR: performance of a contract (to deliver a service you have purchased or applied for), your consent (for marketing emails and optional community groups), our legitimate interests (to run and improve our business, respond to enquiries, and keep records), and compliance with a legal obligation (such as retaining financial records).
We use a small number of trusted third-party services to run our business and deliver our services to you. These providers process personal data on our behalf, under their own privacy and security terms:
| Provider | What it's used for |
|---|---|
| Stripe | Processing payments securely. We do not store your full card details ourselves. |
| MailerLite | Sending email newsletters, programme communications, and marketing emails you've opted into. |
| Zapier | Automating the connection between our payment and email systems (e.g. adding a purchaser to the correct email group). |
| Formspree | Processing contact form submissions from this website. |
| Google Drive | Delivering programme content and materials to enrolled clients. |
| Telegram | Hosting optional community groups for certain programme buyers. Telegram is a separate platform governed by its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review. |
| Cloudflare | Hosting this website and providing basic security and performance infrastructure. |
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing purposes.
Some of the third-party providers listed above may store or process data outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on providers who maintain appropriate safeguards, such as the UK's International Data Transfer Addendum or equivalent standard contractual clauses, to protect your data to UK standards.
Our website may use essential cookies necessary for the site to function correctly. We do not currently use non-essential tracking or advertising cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Financial records connected to payments are generally retained for the period required by UK tax law. If you unsubscribe from our email list, your details are removed from active marketing communications, though some records may be retained where necessary for legal or accounting purposes.
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@marielenglish.co.uk. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has not been handled correctly.
Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children, and our services are not directed at anyone under the age of 18.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal data, please contact us at hello@marielenglish.co.uk.
