This page explains what personal information Almost Always Fitness Studio collects when you use almostalways.ie, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We aim to keep it plain and honest.
Who we are
Almost Always Fitness Studio is a small-group kettlebell and strength studio on Main Street, Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath (Eircode A85 Y264), run by Darren Tinnelly. For any question about your information, contact us through the contact form on the website or by phone on 083 021 3125.
What we collect and why
1. When you use the contact form
If you send a message through the contact form, we collect the name, email address and message you provide. We use this only to reply to your enquiry. Form submissions are handled by our website host, Netlify, and emailed to us.
2. Website analytics (only if you accept)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — for example which sections are viewed and roughly where visitors are located — so we can improve it. Google Analytics uses cookies and only loads after you click “Accept” on the cookie bar. If you click “Reject”, it is never loaded and no analytics cookies are set.
3. Hosting logs
Like all websites, our host keeps standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and reliability. These are handled by Netlify.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file stored on your device. On this site:
- Your cookie choice is remembered in your browser’s local storage so we don’t ask you every visit. This is essential to respect your preference and is not used for tracking.
- Google Analytics cookies (e.g.
_ga) are only set if you accept. You can withdraw consent at any time using the button below. - Embedded content — the Instagram posts and the map on the site are loaded from Instagram (Meta) and OpenStreetMap, and Google Fonts are loaded from Google. These providers may set their own cookies when their content loads. Please see their own privacy policies for detail.
Change your cookie choice
You can reset your choice at any time. This clears your saved preference — the cookie bar will appear again next time you visit the homepage, and any analytics cookies can be cleared through your browser settings.
Done — your choice has been cleared.Other services we use
- LegitFit — our class booking system. When you book, you leave this website and use LegitFit, which has its own privacy policy and handles your booking details directly.
- WhatsApp and phone — if you contact us this way, your message or number is handled through those services.
- Instagram / Facebook — our social pages, linked from the site.
How long we keep information
We keep contact-form enquiries only as long as needed to deal with your query and for a reasonable period afterwards. Analytics data is retained according to Google’s standard settings. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its use, and to data portability. To exercise any of these, contact us using the details above and we’ll respond as soon as we can.
