A note on your data

Last updated · October 2026

This privacy notice explains how this website, kotkova.com, handles your information. Veronika Kotkova is the data controller for enquiries and health questionnaires sent through this site. If you have any questions about this notice or your data, please email pt@kotkova.com.

What this site collects

When you send an enquiry through the contact form, your name, email address, the type of training you’re interested in, and your message are collected through Netlify Forms and delivered to pt@kotkova.com. These details are used only to reply to your enquiry. The form is protected by a hidden spam-prevention field, and submissions are stored by Netlify in line with their data processing terms.

Health questionnaire

Before your first session, I ask you to complete a health questionnaire (often called a PAR-Q). It collects your name, date of birth, contact details, an emergency contact, your answers to nine health questions, and anything you choose to tell me about injuries, medication, pregnancy or other health matters.

  • Why: to check it’s safe for you to train, to plan sessions around your health, and to contact someone if you’re unwell or hurt during a session.
  • Legal basis: health information is special category data, so I only collect it with your explicit consent, which you give on the form. After you stop training, I keep it only in case it’s needed to deal with a legal claim, for the period below.
  • Who can see it: only me. Your answers are never shared with anyone else, including PureGym, unless the law requires it or it’s needed in a medical emergency. The form is processed by Netlify Forms, and your answers are stored by Netlify (which may hold data in the United States) under its data processing terms. They aren’t sent by email.
  • How long I keep it: while you’re training with me, and for 3 years after your last session, because that’s how long a personal injury claim can usually be brought. It’s then deleted. If we don’t end up training together, I delete it within 3 months.
  • Your rights: you can ask for a copy of your answers, ask me to correct them, or withdraw your consent and ask me to delete them at any time by emailing pt@kotkova.com. If you withdraw consent, I may not be able to keep training you safely. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
