If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Your personal data and information – who we share it with and why.

We respect and value your privacy and do not sell any client data or information, under any circumstances.

We only share your data where you have explicitly provided consent to do so. This would typically be to meet your request to receive SDPT Newsletters or other service benefits/promotions. SDPT uses Mailchimp as its marketing platform and Mailchimp has its own privacy policy.

Visitor comments posted via the Blog may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

It may be necessary to share your Personal information (such as your Lifestyle and Health & Fitness metrics) with your GP/Doctor where it is required that your GP/Doctor provide input to your suitability to undertake physical activity. This sharing would only be done with your specific consent and upon receiving the request for information from your GP/Doctor. If needed, you can download a Doctors Consent form that you should provide to your GP/Doctor, requesting that they comment on your suitability to exercise.
