The assessment, preparation of workout plans, and coaching are carried out by [trainer’s full name], who accesses the information needed to perform those tasks.
This policy applies to https://ferafitness.com, communications related to the service, and the training app made available to clients.
2. Information we collect
Depending on your relationship with us, we may process the following categories of information:
- Identity and contact details: name, email, phone or WhatsApp number, country, and time zone.
- Contact request: plan of interest, goals, activity level, training location, preferred start time, and other information you choose to send.
- Assessment and coaching: age, sex, height, weight, fitness level, training experience, goals, and other relevant information provided during the assessment or coaching.
- App information: workout plans and sessions, exercises, dates, completion status, notes, and final reports.
- Purchases and payments: purchased plan, dates, price, payment status, and information required for invoicing. Payments may be handled by an external provider; full payment card details should not be sent to Fera Fitness by email or WhatsApp.
- Testimonials: the name, text, language, contact information, and publication authorization you provide.
- Technical information: IP address, access date and time, and technical information needed for the operation and security of the website and app, depending on the logs actually maintained.
Some assessment information, workout notes, or testimonials may reveal health information and may therefore receive additional legal protection.
The initial contact form is not intended to collect detailed medical information. Please do not include diagnoses or other detailed medical information in that form.
3. How we collect information
We collect information directly from you when you:
- complete a form or contact us by email or WhatsApp;
- take part in a video assessment;
- purchase a plan or make a payment;
- use the app, add notes, or record workouts;
- submit a testimonial or exercise a privacy right.
We may also receive payment-related information from the payment provider, such as confirmation or transaction status.
4. Why we use your information and our legal bases
Contact requests and initial assessment
We use your information to respond to requests and arrange the initial assessment. Our legal basis is taking steps you request before entering into a contract.
Purchases and coaching
We use your information to manage the contract, app access, workout plans, and coaching. Our legal basis is performance of a contract.
Invoicing and tax obligations
We process the information needed to issue invoices and meet tax obligations. Our legal basis is compliance with legal obligations.
Service security
We process technical information needed to protect the website, app, and records against unauthorized access or misuse. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in service security.
Assessment and health information
Processing health information needed for assessment and personalized training requires an applicable legal basis for providing the service and an additional condition for processing that information. Where that condition is explicit consent, we will request it separately before processing the information.
Publishing testimonials
We publish testimonials based on the author’s consent, obtained specifically for that purpose.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting privacidade@ferafitness.com. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
If you withdraw consent needed to process health information essential to personalizing the service and supporting safe coaching, we may be unable to start or continue the service under those conditions. We will explain the effect of your request before making a decision.
Workout plans are prepared personally by the trainer. We do not use artificial intelligence to generate workout plans, and we do not make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on clients.
5. Who we share information with
Depending on the services actually used, we may share only the information needed with:
- the trainer responsible for assessment and coaching;
- website, email, app hosting, technical support and backup providers providers;
- WhatsApp as messaging and video-call privider;
- the payment provider: Stripe;
- public authorities where required by law.
Providers have their own roles and responsibilities depending on the services they provide. When they act as processors on our behalf, they must process information under the applicable instructions and safeguards.
If you contact us through WhatsApp or use a video-call platform, please also review that provider’s privacy policy. Avoid sending health information through those channels until we have explained how it will be handled.
6. International transfers
Hosting, messaging, video-call, payment, or support services may involve processing or access to information outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
Where an international transfer is subject to the GDPR or applicable UK law, we will use an appropriate transfer mechanism, such as an applicable adequacy decision or suitable contractual clauses.
You may request further information about international transfers by contacting:
onlinecoach@ferafitness.com
7. How long we keep information

8. Cookies and browser storage
The website may use a necessary session cookie for forms, security, and administrator authentication. Your language selection may be stored in your browser’s local storage.
Full information about cookies, duration, and any additional services is available in:
If analytics, advertising, or other non-essential technologies are added, this policy and the choices presented on the website will be updated as applicable.
9. Testimonials
A testimonial submitted through the website is not published automatically: it is reviewed and approved first. Before publication, we request authorization to display the name and text as explained in the form.
A testimonial may disclose sensitive information, including health information. Permission to publish that information must be specific and explicit where required.
You may request removal of a testimonial by contacting:
privacidade@ferafitness.com
We will handle the request in accordance with the consent provided and applicable law. Removal does not affect prior lawful uses.
10. Your rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have the right to:
- access your information and receive details about its processing;
- correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- request deletion or restriction of processing;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- receive information you provided in a structured format and request portability, where applicable;
- withdraw consent;
- complain to a supervisory authority.
To exercise your rights, contact privacidade@ferafitness.com. We may request reasonable information to verify your identity. We will respond within the applicable legal timeframes.

You may also contact the relevant authority in the country where you live or work, or where you believe an infringement occurred.
11. United States residents
Privacy rights and required notices in the United States depend on your state of residence and whether the relevant law applies to Fera Fitness.
You may contact us at privacidade@ferafitness.com to request information about your data or exercise any rights available to you. Where an applicable state law requires additional information — for example, about categories of information, sharing, sale, or targeted advertising — that information and the relevant mechanisms will be provided here.
12. Security
We use measures appropriate to the risks to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, or disclosure.
No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please keep your app login details confidential and let us know if you suspect unauthorized use.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our services, providers, or legal requirements change. The date of the latest update will appear at the top of the page. Where a change requires additional notice or renewed consent, we will contact you or provide the appropriate notice.
