6) Your choices (marketing and objections)

Marketing

You can opt out of marketing at any time by emailing info@peakjiujitsu.co.uk.

Your right to object

You have the right to object at any time to:

  • direct marketing (we will stop), and

(If you want, I can also draft a separate Cookie Policy page that lists categories + how to change preferences — but this section is enough for most gym sites.)

9) International transfers

Some of our providers may process data outside the UK (for example, in the US). Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) to help protect your information.

We only use photos/videos of members for marketing where we have consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing info@peakjiujitsu.co.uk. If you withdraw consent, we’ll stop using the content going forward and will remove it where reasonably possible (e.g., from our website and future posts/ads).

11) How long we keep your information (retention)

UK GDPR requires us to tell you how long we keep personal data.

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal/accounting requirements. Our retention periods are:

  • Enquiries / leads (including lead forms): up to 12 months after last contact

  • Members (membership/admin records): for the duration of membership, and typically up to 6 years after the end of the relevant financial year (for accounting/tax record-keeping)

  • Marketing records: until you opt out, or we periodically remove inactive contacts

  • Photo/video consent records: while we rely on that consent, plus a reasonable period to evidence consent if needed

  • Website analytics/cookie data: retained according to our analytics and cookie settings (varies by tool)

12) Keeping your data secure
