Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 October 2026

This policy explains what personal information Ricey Runs Coaching collects through riceyruns.com, why we collect it and what your rights are. We have kept it short and plain on purpose.

Who we are

Ricey Runs Coaching is run by George Rice and is based in Jersey, Channel Islands. We are the controller of the personal information described here. For anything to do with your data, email riceyrunscoaching@gmail.com.

What we collect and why

• Coaching enquiries. When you use the contact form we collect your name, email address, phone number if you give one, and what you tell us about your running and your goals. We use this to reply to you and to talk through coaching.
• Free running plan. When you unlock the free plan we collect your email address. If you tick the box for news and updates, we will also send you occasional emails about training and our services. If you do not tick it, we will not.
• Purchases. When you buy a training plan we collect your name, email address, billing details and a record of your order, so we can deliver the plan and keep the records the law requires. Card payments are handled by our payment provider. We never see or store your full card details.
• Coaching clients. If you become a coaching client we collect the training information you choose to share with us, so we can coach you well and safely.
• How the site is used. With your permission we collect information about visits to the site, such as the pages viewed and the buttons clicked. See the cookies section below.

The pace calculator and free plan builder

The race times, weekly distance and other details you type into these tools are worked out in your own browser. They are not sent to us. Your browser saves them on your device so the tools remember your entries the next time you visit. You can remove them at any time by clearing the site data in your browser.

Our lawful reasons

• Consent, for marketing emails and for cookies that are not essential. You can withdraw it at any time.
• Contract, to deliver a plan you have bought or the coaching you have signed up for.
• Legitimate interests, to reply to enquiries and to keep the site secure and working.
• Legal obligation, to keep order and accounting records.

Cookies

When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept cookies. Until you accept, only the cookies the site needs to work are used. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie Preferences button at the bottom of the page.

• Essential cookies keep the site secure and make things like the shopping cart work. These are always on.
• Analytics cookies from Squarespace, which hosts this site, tell us how many people visit and which pages they view.
• Marketing cookies from Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, tell us whether our adverts lead to visits and sign ups, and help Meta show our adverts to people likely to be interested. We do not send Meta the times or training details you enter into our tools.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information. We share it only with the companies that help us run the business, and only as far as they need it:

• Squarespace, which hosts the site, the forms and the store.
• Our payment provider, to take payment for orders.
• Our email provider, to send the emails you have asked for.
• Meta, for advert measurement, if you have accepted marketing cookies.

Some of these companies are based outside Jersey, including in the United States. Where your information is transferred abroad, it is protected by the safeguards those companies have in place under data protection law.

How long we keep it

We keep your information only for as long as we need it for the reason it was collected. You stay on our email list until you unsubscribe. Order records are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require. You can ask us to delete your information sooner and we will, unless the law requires us to keep it.

Your rights

Under the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018 you can ask us to:

• tell you what information we hold about you and give you a copy
• correct anything that is wrong
• delete your information
• stop or limit how we use it, including for marketing
• send your information to you or to someone else in a usable format

To use any of these rights, email riceyrunscoaching@gmail.com. Every marketing email also has an unsubscribe link. If you live in the UK or the EU you have similar rights under the law there.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner at jerseyoic.org, or to the data protection regulator where you live.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we use personal information we will update this page and the date at the top.
