Coaching enquiry privacy notice
Last updated: 29 October 2026. This notice covers this coaching enquiry form, not a coaching assessment or the O’Shea Method app.
Who handles your information?
David O’Shea, trading as David O’Shea – Strength & Nutrition in Ireland, is responsible for your enquiry information. For questions or privacy requests, email Coach@davidosheastrengthandnutrition.com.
What we collect and why
We use the contact details, fitness and nutrition goals, experience and coaching preferences you submit to respond to your request, discuss suitable services and take steps you ask for before agreeing coaching. The legal basis for those pre-contract steps is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Necessary protection against spam and misuse is based on our legitimate interest in keeping the enquiry service secure, under Article 6(1)(f).
Please provide only information relevant to your enquiry. Do not include medical diagnoses, medication, detailed symptoms, other sensitive health information or payment details. Any later screening or coaching assessment is a separate process with its own information and safeguards. Submitting an enquiry does not medically clear you or commit you to coaching.
Where your enquiry goes
Netlify hosts this form and processes and stores submitted enquiries. Netlify uses Akismet for spam filtering. Email notifications also create a copy in David’s Gmail mailbox, provided by Google. See Google’s privacy information. Service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Netlify’s data processing agreement explains its international-transfer arrangements. Contact David for information about the safeguards relevant to your enquiry.
How long we keep it
If your enquiry does not become a client relationship, we keep it for no more than three months after the last meaningful contact about that enquiry, then manually delete the enquiry copies from Netlify and email. Promotional messages or routine system activity do not restart that period. If you become a client, we explain the separate retention arrangements before collecting further assessment or coaching information. Information needed for a specific legal obligation or legal claim may be kept for that purpose only, for as long as necessary. Service-provider backup and security records may follow separate retention arrangements; deletion is not a promise of immediate removal from every backup.
Your choices and rights
You can choose not to submit this form, or contact David directly instead. Contact details are needed to reply, and missing information may limit the help we can give. An enquiry is not permission for unrelated marketing.
Depending on the circumstances, you can request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your information, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. These rights are not absolute. Email David using the address above with enough information to locate your enquiry; do not send identity documents unless a secure verification step is agreed.
You can also complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission or your local supervisory authority.
