Who we are

Swimming Anatomy publishes short swimming lessons at swimminganatomy.com, on Instagram and on YouTube. For anything about your data, send a message to @swimminganatomy on Instagram.

When you join the mailing list

We store:

• your email address;
• the date you joined, and which form on the page you used;
• the version of the sign-up wording you agreed to;
• a one-way code made from your IP address, so we can stop automated sign-ups. It can't be turned back into your address.

We use them only to send you new lessons and news about the full course. We rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

When you visit the site

We count visits to see how the site is doing: which page was opened, which site or link you came from, and whether it was a phone or a computer. Each visitor gets an anonymous code that changes every day, so we can count visitors without cookies and without following anyone from one day to the next. We don't store IP addresses.

The site loads nothing from other companies: the font, the pictures and the video come from our own server.

Where your data is kept

On our own server, rented from Amazon Web Services in the United States. A copy is made every day and each copy is kept for 30 days. Only the Swimming Anatomy team can reach it.

How long we keep it

Until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. When you unsubscribe, we keep your address marked as unsubscribed so we never email you again; if you'd rather we delete it completely, just ask. Visit counts are kept for 13 months.

Your rights

You can ask to see the data we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link. Send a message to @swimminganatomy on Instagram and we'll answer within 30 days. If you think we've handled your data wrongly, you can also complain to your country's data protection authority.

Children

If you are under 16, please ask a parent or guardian before joining the list.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use your email address, we'll tell you by email first.
