Move Beyond Depression ("MBD", "we", "us", "our") is operated by Corbin Bednarik. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. We've tried to write it in plain language, because we think you should be able to understand what happens to your information.

By using our website, quiz, or program, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

1. Who this policy applies to

Our program is offered only to residents of Canada, as it is based on Canada's guidelines and credentials, and only to people aged 18 or over. It is not directed at, and we do not knowingly provide services to, people located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the European Economic Area.

2. A note on health information

Because MBD is an exercise and lifestyle program for people experiencing low mood, some of the information we collect relates to your health and wellbeing. We treat this information with extra care, collect only what we need to deliver the program safely, and never sell it. Where the law requires your consent to collect this kind of information, your use of the program and your provision of that information serve as that consent — and you can withdraw it at any time by closing your account.

One thing we deliberately do not collect. The program may invite you to complete a short, validated self-check questionnaire (the PHQ-8) at the start and again at week 12, so you can privately track changes in how you're feeling. This is a tool for your own use. Your PHQ-8 responses and scores are not transmitted to us, not stored by us, and not seen by us. They stay with you.

3. What information we collect

Information you give us directly

• When you take our quiz: your name, email address, and your answers to the quiz questions.

• When you create an account and subscribe (through our program provider, Trainerize): your name, contact details, mailing address, age or date of birth, and payment information. Payment card details are processed by our payment provider (Stripe) — we do not see or store your full card number.

• When you complete intake: your responses to the Get Active Questionnaire (a standard physical-readiness screen) and to our intake questions, including health-related information relevant to exercising safely.

• As you use the program: information you log or upload, which may include workouts completed, mood check-ins, sleep, weight or body measurements, photos you choose to upload, and messages you send us.

Information from connected devices (optional)

If you choose to connect a wearable or health device (for example, Apple Watch or Garmin), we may receive activity and health metrics from that device, such as steps, heart rate, workouts, or sleep. Connecting a device is entirely optional and you can disconnect it at any time.

Information we collect automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect limited technical information such as your device and browser type, general location (city/region, not precise), pages viewed, and similar usage data, through cookies and analytics tools (see Section 8).

Information we do NOT collect

• Your PHQ-8 self-check responses or scores (see Section 2).

• We do not run advertising or marketing tracking pixels on our quiz, intake, or other health-context pages. If we use advertising tools elsewhere on our site in future, we will do so only on non-sensitive pages and disclose it here.

4. Sensitive and health information

Some of the information above is sensitive information (sometimes called special-category or health information), including your Get Active Questionnaire responses, intake health information, mood logs, body metrics, and any health data from connected devices. We collect it for one reason: to deliver and adapt your exercise and lifestyle program safely and appropriately. We apply additional care to this information, limit who can access it, and retain it only as long as needed (see Section 11).

5. How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Provide, personalise, and adapt your exercise and lifestyle program;

• Set you up as a member and manage your account;

• Process your subscription payments and refunds;

• Communicate with you about the service (and, where you've consented, send you helpful content and updates — see Section 6);

• Respond to your messages and provide support;

• Understand and improve the program and our website;

• Act where we believe in good faith it's necessary to protect someone's safety (see Section 10); and

• Meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

We do not use your information to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you, and we do not sell your personal information.

6. Marketing communications

If you join our email list (for example, through the quiz) or become a member, we may send you program content, updates, and offers. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. Opting out of marketing won't stop essential service messages (such as billing notifications or important account information). You can withdraw consent at any time, and we'll act on your request promptly.

7. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information, and we don't share it except as described here.

Service providers

We use trusted third-party services to run MBD, and we share only the information each one needs to do its job:

Trainerize: Program delivery and your member account

Trainerize Pay via Stripe: Payment processing

MailerLite: Email communications

Tally: Hosting our quiz/forms

Zapier: Connecting apps

Hostinger: Website hosting

Google (Business / analytics): Business operations and website analytics

Each provider is responsible for handling your information in line with its own privacy and security obligations.

Legal and safety

We may disclose information if required by law, to respond to lawful requests, to enforce our Terms, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of you or another person (see Section 10).

Business changes

If our business is ever transferred or restructured, your information may be transferred as part of that process, subject to this policy.

8. Cookies and tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functioning and for analytics that help us understand how the site is used. We keep tracking to a minimum and, as noted in Section 3, do not place advertising/marketing pixels on health-context pages (the quiz, intake, and similar). You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.

9. International data transfers

Several of our service providers are based in, or store data in, the United States and other countries. This means your information may be processed outside the country where you live. Wherever your information is processed, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled in line with this policy and applicable law.

10. Safety, and the limits of confidentiality

MBD is not a crisis or emergency service (see our Terms of Service). We take your privacy seriously, but we cannot promise absolute confidentiality in every circumstance. If we believe in good faith that you or someone else may be at risk of serious harm, we may use or disclose relevant information to the extent reasonably necessary to help — for example, by directing you to crisis resources or, where appropriate and lawful, contacting emergency services. We may also keep a limited record of such situations. This is consistent with our internal safety protocol.

If you are ever in crisis: in Canada and the US, call or text 988; elsewhere www.findahelpline.com.

11. How long we keep your information

We keep your personal information only for as long as we need it to provide the service and for legitimate business or legal purposes. When you close your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we're required to keep certain records (for example, limited financial records for tax purposes, or limited safety records as described in Section 10).

12. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal information, which may include the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you;

• Correct information that is inaccurate or out of date;

• Delete your information (subject to the exceptions in Section 11);

• Withdraw consent or opt out of marketing; and

• Complain to us or to a privacy regulator.

To exercise any of these, email us at hello@movebeyonddepression.com and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity first.

13. Children

MBD is intended only for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us information, please contact us and we'll delete it.

14. Third-party links

Our website or content may link to third-party sites or services we don't control. This policy doesn't apply to them, and we're not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their policies.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the effective date and, where appropriate, notify you. Continued use of the service after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
