Privacy Policy — Intelligent GK

Who we are

‍ ‍Intelligent GK ("we", "us") is a goalkeeper coaching academy based in South Wales, operated by Lewis John. Contact: intelligentgkacademy@gmail.com

‍ ‍What we collect

‍ ‍

  • Coaching bookings: name, child's name/age (where applicable), parent/guardian contact details, emergency contact, session/payment history — collected via Pembee at the point of booking.

  • Clothing orders: name, delivery address, email, order details, payment confirmation (we do not see or store full card numbers — payment is processed by Stripe).

  • Email marketing: name and email address, collected via sign-up forms, managed through Brevo.

  • Website usage: standard analytics/cookies via Squarespace (see Squarespace's own cookie notice, shown on first visit).

‍ ‍How we use it

‍ ‍

  • To deliver coaching sessions and GK Wars events you've booked

  • To fulfil and ship clothing orders

  • To send order confirmations and account-related emails

  • To send marketing emails/offers — only where you've opted in, and you can unsubscribe at any time

  • To improve our sessions and services

‍ ‍Who we share it with

‍ ‍We share the minimum data needed with:

‍ ‍

  • Stripe — to process payments securely

  • Pembee — to manage coaching bookings and schedules

  • Brevo — to send marketing and transactional emails

  • Printful / Inkthreadable (our print-on-demand suppliers) — your name and delivery address only, to fulfil clothing orders

  • Squarespace — our website host

‍ ‍

We don't sell your data to anyone.

‍ ‍Children's data

‍ ‍Some of our services are for goalkeepers under 18. Where a participant is a minor, the booking and any data we hold is provided and consented to by a parent or guardian. We collect only what's needed to deliver coaching safely (e.g. emergency contact, relevant medical/welfare info if you choose to share it).

‍ ‍How long we keep it

‍ ‍We keep booking and order records for as long as needed to meet our accounting and tax obligations (normally 6 years), and marketing contacts until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.

‍ ‍Your rights

‍ ‍Under UK GDPR you can ask us to:

‍ ‍

  • Show you the data we hold about you

  • Correct inaccurate data

  • Delete your data (where we're not legally required to keep it)

  • Stop using your data for marketing

‍ ‍

Email intelligentgkacademy@gmail.com to make a request. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
