Privacy policy

Fanny Barquero, doing business as BLIRM Method, in Costa Rica. Email: hello@blirmmethod.com. Postal address: Heredia, Costa Rica. I’m the person who decides what’s collected and why, and the one you write to.

• Forms on this website. Your first name, your email and your language. The BLIRM Map, if you ask for it by email, adds your profile and the month it points to. Never your answers.
• The free call. Your name, email, language and the time you chose (through Calendly). What we talk about stays in my own notes, not on this website, and I write down routines and next steps, not medical details; if you mention something medical, I don’t note it. Your call summary is about routines and next steps, never medical details.
• When you buy a program or the challenge. Your name, email, what you bought and your payments (through Whop, the secure checkout). I never see your full card number.
• Your program. Your plan, guides and audios come to you by email and WhatsApp while your private client space opens. That space will keep your name, email, language, program, phase, week, appointment dates and times, materials you’ve opened, the date of each message you send me and whether it was answered (the text goes to my email, in Google Workspace), and your payment history. Nothing about your health. If you choose “Continue with Google” to log in there, Google gives me only your name and email; if you’d rather Google didn’t, use the email code instead.
• WhatsApp and email. Whatever you choose to write to me. Please keep health details out of both.
• The website itself. Basic technical records from the hosting service (Cloudflare) to keep the site working and safe, kept briefly and never for advertising. No analytics.

• No form on this site asks about symptoms, diagnoses or medications.
• Your BLIRM Map answers stay in your browser. They aren’t sent or stored anywhere.
• No advertising cookies and no pixels. None at all on The Whole Way pages.
• I don’t buy information about you, and I don’t sell yours. Ever.

• To send what you asked for: the talk link and two reminders, your map, your call summary, your program materials, or news about the list you joined.
• To run your program: sessions, materials, messages, payments and receipts.
• Other emails from me only if you ticked the box that says so. You can stop them with one click at the bottom of any email.
• Never for advertising audiences, and never to build a profile of your health.

Some information counts as health data even when it isn’t a diagnosis. Telling me you’re coming to Costa Rica for dental work, or asking for the Carry-On Recovery Guide, can count. So this is how I handle it:

• I ask for it only when a form clearly says what it’s for, with its own checkbox, separate from anything about marketing.
• I use it only for that purpose: to prepare your call, to send you the guide, or to coordinate your care in The Whole Way.
• I don’t share it with America Dental or with anyone else without your separate written consent, and I never sell it.
• Health details you share inside a program (your intake form, session notes, anything clinical) never live on this website. They’re kept in a separate secured record under Google Workspace, with a consent you sign before we start.
• You can withdraw that consent, ask what I hold, or ask me to delete it, anytime, by writing to hello@blirmmethod.com. If I ever have to say no, I’ll explain why and how to appeal.

With the services that run this site and my programs, all in accounts in my name:

• Cloudflare (hosting of the website)
• Supabase (the database behind the private client space, once it opens; United States region)
• Whop (payments and receipts)
• Calendly (booking the free call)
• Google Workspace (email, calendar, video sessions, and the separate secured record for health information)
• systeme.io (email lists and newsletters; United States)
• Resend (the login code and notices from the private client space, once it opens)
• WhatsApp (Meta), if you write to me there
• Google sign-in, only if you choose it to log in to the private client space

Some of these companies are in the United States. When your information travels there, it’s protected by their contracts and by the rights described below.

If a security failure ever exposes your information, I’ll tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

• Email lists: until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete you.
• Program records: while you’re a client and for 6 months after your program ends, so I can answer questions and keep your receipts available.
• Payment records: as long as Costa Rican tax law requires.
• Health information shared in a program: as long as Costa Rican law requires, and no longer.

Wherever you live, you can ask me to show you what I hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop using it, and you can take back any consent you gave. Write to hello@blirmmethod.com. I answer within 5 business days. It’s free.

• Costa Rica. Law 8968 gives you the rights of access, rectification and deletion, and requires your express consent before I collect your data. You can also complain to PRODHAB, the data protection agency.
• United States. If you live in Washington State, the My Health My Data Act gives you the rights above over your consumer health data, plus the right to know who I’ve shared it with. If you live in California, you have the right to know what I collect and to ask me to delete it.
• Every email I send has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and my postal address.

This site works without tracking cookies. The only one it may set is the one that remembers your language. No advertising cookies, no pixels, and no cookie banner needed. The booking calendar (Calendly) and the checkout (Whop) are run by those companies under their own privacy policies. If that ever changes, this page will say so first.

BLIRM is for adults. I don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

If I change something important, I’ll say so here, with the date, and I’ll email you if it affects how I use what you already gave me.
