How and why we use your personal data
Under data protection law, we can only use your personal data if we have a proper reason, e.g.:
where you have given consent
to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or
for our legitimate interests or those of a third party
A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. We will carry out an assessment when relying on legitimate interests, to balance our interests against your own. You can obtain details of this assessment by contacting us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).
The table below explains what we use your personal data for and why.
What we use your personal data for
Our reasons
Providing the Services to you
To perform our contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract (in this case, the contract means our coaching agreement and policies that apply to the Services)
To enforce legal rights or defend or undertake legal proceedings
Depending on the circumstances:
to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
in other cases, for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, i.e. to protect our business, interests and rights or those of others
Communications with you not related to marketing, including about changes to our terms or policies or changes to the Services or other important notices
Depending on the circumstances:
to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
in other cases, for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, i.e., to provide the best service to you
Protect the security of systems and data
To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations we may also use your personal data to ensure the security of systems and data to a standard that goes beyond our legal obligations, and in those cases our reasons are for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, i.e., to protect systems and data and to prevent and detect criminal activity that could be damaging for you and/or us
Operational reasons, such as improving efficiency, training, and quality control or to provide support to you
For our legitimate interests or those of a third party, i.e., to be as efficient as we can so we can deliver the best service to you
To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
Depending on the circumstances:
to perform our contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract (in this case, the contract means our coaching agreement and policies that apply to the Services)
to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
where neither of the above apply, for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, e.g. making sure that we can keep in touch with our customers about their accounts and new services or functionalities related to the Website and our Services
See ‘Who we share your personal data with’ for further information on the steps we will take to protect your personal data where we need to share it with others.
Who we share your personal data with
The Company will only share your health data for example when liaising with your therapist, registered dietician, or other members of your treatment team. We exert no control over their privacy policies and we therefore recommend that you consult their privacy policy for further information on how they protect personal data.
We may occasionally also need to share your personal data with:
external auditors, e.g. in relation to the audit of our accounts and our company —the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations;
professional advisors (such as lawyers and other advisors)—the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations;
law enforcement agencies, courts or tribunals and regulatory bodies to comply with legal and regulatory obligations;
other parties in connection with a significant corporate transaction or restructuring, including a merger, acquisition, asset sale, initial public offering or in the event of our insolvency—usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible, however, the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations.
If you would like more information about who we share our data with and why, please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).
How long your personal data will be kept
The Company will not keep your personal data any longer than it is necessary to achieve the intended purpose for which the data is collected. It will delete your personal data as soon as your request to contact you has been handled and no coaching relationship is started within a period of 12 months following the first contact.
Your personal health data will be retained for a period of no more than 8 years after your last coaching session, unless you request for it to be destroyed sooner by emailing info@mayyoumend.com. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not be able to delete certain personal data if there is a legal retention obligation to keep such personal data, if a statute of limitation is still applicable or if the data is needed in the context of a legal claim.
Transferring your personal data out of the UK
At this point in time, we do not transfer your personal data outside of the UK except where we have taken your express consent. We would comply with applicable UK laws designed to ensure the continued protection and privacy of your personal data. Any updated destinations to which we send your personal data, would be indicated in the present section and notified to you in accordance with the section on ‘Change to this privacy policy’ below.
Furthermore, under UK data protection laws, we can only transfer your personal data to a country outside the UK where: the UK government has decided the particular country ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy regulation’) further to Article 45 of the UK GDPR; there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for you; or a specific exception applies under relevant data protection law. Accordingly, if we were to start transferring your personal data from the UK to:
The EEA: we would rely on the adequacy finding granted by the UK to the EU under the Withdrawal Agreement to do; for any transfers from the EU to the UK, we would rely on the adequacy regulation granted to the UK under the Adequacy Decision.
Any country located outside the UK/EEA: we would rely an appropriate safeguards under the UK GDPR, such as by including the relevant Standard Contractual Clauses in our data processing agreements.
In the event we could not or choose not to continue to rely on either of those mechanisms at any time we would not transfer your personal data outside the UK unless we could do so on the basis of an alternative mechanism or exception provided by UK data protection law.

We will always ask you for your consent before doing sending you marketing communications, except where you have explicitly opted-in to receiving email marketing from us in the past.
