Privacy: what British Columbia's PIPA means for this form

In British Columbia, BC's Personal Information Protection Act applies to private businesses in the province instead of PIPEDA.

This client intake form asks about health, which most privacy laws treat as sensitive. Ask only what the session really needs and say why next to the question.

CalendarForm keeps each business's answers separate, lets you export them to CSV, and does not use them for anything else. Link your own privacy notice in the form's description.

Booking times in Vancouver

Vancouver changes its clocks for daylight saving, so a Free consultation at 18:00 stays at 18:00 local time all year. CalendarForm skips times that do not exist on the night the clocks go forward.

Vancouver is on a different time zone from Toronto, so set your business time zone to America/Vancouver in CalendarForm settings.

Customers booking from abroad still see the time in America/Vancouver, with the zone printed next to it, and their confirmation email repeats it.

Set it up in four steps

  1. Sign up free, pick the closest business type, and rename the starter form to "Client intake form".
  2. Set the time zone to America/Vancouver and add your class timetable.
  3. Edit the questions above, add the British Columbia's PIPA consent line, and attach the form to your booking page.
  4. Share your link. Each booking sends an email confirmation with a cancel link, and a reminder 24 hours before.

Questions

Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. The booking page and the dashboard both work on a phone browser.
Can clients cancel late?
They can cancel from the email link. Set your own policy in the service description.
Is a free client intake form enough for personal trainers in Vancouver?
For most small personal trainers, yes. You get 250 form submissions and 100 bookings free every month; after that, $5 buys 2,000 more submissions or 500 bookings, and packs never expire. Prices on your page can be in CAD.
Does the form follow PIPEDA?
The form collects only the questions you add and shows your consent line. Following PIPEDA is still your job: ask only what you need, say why, and link your privacy notice.
Can I write the form in English?
Yes. Questions, options and the thank-you message are free text, so you can write them in English and Chinese.
