Privacy Policy

Last updated: [date you publish]

1. Who we are

Nurture2Wellness is run by Maha Salman. We are the "data controller" for the personal data described in this policy, which means we decide how it is used and are responsible for protecting it under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Address: [business address]
Email: info@nurture2wellness.org

3. The free calculator

The Free Calorie Target Calculator works entirely in your web browser. The answers you enter, such as your age, sex, height, weight, goal weight and activity level, are used only to show your results on screen. They are not saved or sent to us.

If you choose "Email me my results", we receive only your first name, email address and the daily calorie target the calculator worked out. We ask you to confirm your email address before anything is sent. The calculator gives general estimates for guidance only and is not medical advice.

4. Our email list

We use Kit (ConvertKit) to store our email list and send emails. When you subscribe and confirm your email address, your details are stored in Kit on our behalf. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to remove you at any time by emailing info@nurture2wellness.org.

Kit may record whether an email was opened or a link clicked. We use this only to understand which content is useful.

5. Clients and nutrigenomic testing

If you work with us as a client, we keep your records confidential and use them only to provide your programme. Genetic data is restricted-access and is never shared without your explicit consent. Genetic insights are for nutrition and lifestyle education only and are not diagnostic. Written consent is required before any genetic test.

6. Who we share data with

We never sell your data. We share it only with service providers who help us run our work, and only what they need:

• Kit: email list and email sending (Kit's privacy policy)
• Genetic testing laboratories: only the data needed to process your test, and only with your consent
• Website hosting: [hosting provider]
• Payments: [payment provider, if any]

We may also share data where the law requires it.

7. Data outside the EU

Kit is based in the United States, so your email list details may be stored outside the European Economic Area. Kit's privacy policy explains the safeguards it uses to protect data transferred from the EU.

8. How long we keep data

• Email list: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your details.
• Enquiries: as long as needed to reply and follow up, then deleted.
• Client records: for a professionally reasonable time (5 to 7 years), unless you ask for earlier deletion, except where the law requires us to keep them.

9. Keeping data safe

We store data securely using encrypted systems and limit access to what is needed. Genetic data is kept restricted-access.

10. Your rights

Under GDPR you can:

• ask for a copy of your data
• ask us to correct or delete it
• withdraw your consent at any time (this does not affect anything done before)
• object to or restrict how we use it
• ask for your data in a portable format

To use any of these rights, email info@nurture2wellness.org. We will reply within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Portuguese data protection authority, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), at www.cnpd.pt.

11. Cookies

[Confirm what your website uses.] Our website uses essential cookies to work properly. Where we use analytics or other non-essential cookies, we ask for your consent first, and you can change your choice at any time.

12. Changes and contact

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date at the top.
