Privacy Policy

01 Who we are

Pratyush Liftz (“we”, “us”) is an online 1:1 fitness coaching service run by Pratyush from India. We operate pratyushliftz.com (the “website”) and decide how the personal information described here is used, which makes us its data fiduciary under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

For anything in this policy, contact us at pratyush.singh.ps208@gmail.com.

02 What we collect

When you apply for coaching

The application form asks for:

• Contact details — your name and email address, and optionally your phone number and Instagram username.
• About you — your age range, profession and where you are based.
• Health and fitness information — your current bodyweight and height, your main goal, what has held you back, and why you want to change now.
• Coaching preferences — how long you would like to commit for and whether you are ready to invest in coaching.

Along with the form we automatically record a small amount of technical information: your IP address, your browser’s user-agent, the page you came from and how long the form took to fill in. We use these only to block spam and abuse.

The application form and our staff sign-in page are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which checks that a real person is using them. To do that, Google collects hardware and software information, such as device and browser data, and sends it to Google for analysis. Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply to that check.

When you simply browse

We do not run analytics or advertising scripts, and we do not ask you to create an account. Like any website, our hosting provider keeps short-lived server logs (IP address, pages requested, time and browser) to keep the site secure and working.

When you contact us

If you email us or message us on Instagram, we keep that conversation so we can reply and follow up.

03 How we use it

• To review your application and decide, honestly, whether coaching is a good fit for you.
• To contact you about your application — by email, phone, WhatsApp or Instagram, using the details you gave us.
• If you become a client, to design and adjust your training and nutrition plan and to deliver the coaching you signed up for.
• To keep the website and form secure, prevent spam and abuse, and fix problems.
• To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, use it for advertising, or add you to a marketing list without asking first.

04 Why we are allowed to

We process your information on the basis of your consent, which you give by submitting the application form or contacting us, and — once you are a client — to perform our coaching agreement with you. Some information is also kept where the law requires it.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing pratyush.singh.ps208@gmail.com. Withdrawing does not affect anything done before, but we may then be unable to consider your application or continue coaching you.

05 Who we share it with

Only Pratyush and the people who help him run the coaching service see your application. We also rely on a few service providers who process data on our behalf, under contract, and only to provide their service:

• Website hosting — Vercel, which serves the website.
• Application storage — our own server and a managed database, hosted with cloud infrastructure providers.
• Spam protection — Google reCAPTCHA, on the application form, as described above.
• Email delivery — ZeptoMail (now part of Zoho CPaaS), a service of Zoho Corporation, which sends the notification of your application to us and the confirmation email to you. It processes your answers and email address only to deliver those messages.
• Team messaging — where switched on, a workspace chat tool that alerts us when a new application arrives.

Some of these providers may store or process data outside India. We will share information with authorities only where the law requires it, or where needed to protect our rights or someone’s safety.

06 How long we keep it

We keep the information you send us for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy — to consider your application, to stay in touch with you about coaching, to deliver coaching if you become a client — and for as long as we are required to keep it for legal, tax or accounting reasons.

07 Your rights

You can ask us to:

• tell you what personal information we hold about you and who we have shared it with;
• correct or update anything that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• stop using it, by withdrawing your consent;
• nominate someone to exercise these rights for you if you are unable to.

Email pratyush.singh.ps208@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

08 How we protect it

Everything travels over encrypted HTTPS connections. Applications are stored on access-controlled systems that only we can sign in to, and the form is rate-limited to stop automated abuse. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach ever affected your information we would tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

09 Children

Coaching is for adults. The website is not meant for anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe someone under 18 has sent us an application, please email us at pratyush.singh.ps208@gmail.com.

10 Cookies

The website itself does not set cookies. Our Cookie Policy explains the few cases where a third party might — including Google reCAPTCHA on the application form.

11 Changes to this policy

We will update this page if what we collect or how we use it changes, and change the “last updated” date at the top. If the change is significant and we have your email address, we will let you know.

This policy should be read together with our Terms of Use.
