This Privacy Policy explains what information of yours will be collected by us when you use the Fitway website (the “Website”), all other products and services, including one of the Fitway mobile apps (hereafter called the “Application”), and all content offered as part thereof, (collectively referred to herein as the “Services”), how such information will be used and shared, and how you can control the collection, correction and/or deletion of such information. We will not collect, use or share your information except as described in this Privacy Policy. All defined terms used herein that are not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Use.

BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU HEREBY WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT (I) YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, (II) YOU ARE OVER 18 YEARS OF AGE (OR ARE A PARENT OR GUARDIAN WITH SUCH AUTHORITY TO AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE BENEFIT OF SUCH INDIVIDUAL UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE), AND (III) IF YOU ARE ACTING ON BEHALF OF YOUR EMPLOYER OR AN ENTITY, YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

TRANSFER OF (PERSONAL) DATA TO THE U.S.

We primarily store data about you, including personal information, on servers located and operated in the Netherlands. If you reside outside the Netherlands, in order to provide the Services to you, we may send and store your personal information (also commonly referred to as personal data) outside of the country where you reside or are located, to the Netherlands. Therefore, our collection and use of your personal information is subject to the Dutch’ laws related to privacy and use of personal data and information. These laws, including what is determined to be “personal data and/or information,” are different and may be less protective than those applicable to you in your country of residence. By accepting the terms of this policy you acknowledge, agree and consent to (i) the transfer to and processing of personal information on servers located outside of the country where you reside, (ii) our collection and use of your personal information as described herein and in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands that may be different and may be less protective than those in your country and (iii) that you are taking a risk by using the site and services.

Information we collect

User-Provided Information: You provide us information about yourself, such as your name and e-mail address gender and age, body composition and preferences when you register for the Services. In the course of using our Services, you may also volunteer additional information such as personal habits, meal details and program progress. You can choose not to provide any additional information that is affirmatively requested of you. However, this may limit your ability to use the Service. If you correspond with us by email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address and our responses. When you post content (text, images, photographs, messages, comments or any other kind of content that is not your e-mail address) on our Services, the information contained in your posting will be stored in our servers and other users may be able to see it.

If you sign up for any of our pro subscriptions, or make other purchases through the Services, your credit or debit card information (such as card type and expiration date) and other financial data that we need to process your payment may be collected and stored by us and/or the payment processors with which we work. We may also collect some limited information, such as your postal code, mobile number, and details of your transaction history, all of which are necessary to provide the Service. In addition, the payment processors generally provide us with some limited information related to you, such as a unique token that enables you to make additional purchases using the information they’ve stored, and your card’s type, expiration date, and certain digits of your card number.

Social Network Platform Provided Information: We also collect personal information when you register to join the Services (or choose to update your account data) by logging into an account that you already have with a third party social networking platform (“SNP”) via our Services. For example, our Services allows you to create an account and login to the Services using your Facebook account credentials through Facebook Connect. If you create a user account by logging into the SNP via the Services, you are using the personal information you have already provided to the SNP (such as your “real” name, e-mail address, age and other information you make available via the SNP) to create your account on our Services. Accordingly, if you use Facebook Connect to join the Services, you are allowing us to access the personal information in your Facebook account pursuant to Facebook’s terms and conditions governing your use of the Services via Facebook. The information we receive from an SNP may depend on the privacy settings you have with the SNP, so please check the SNP’s privacy and data practices.

Cookies Information: When you visit gofitway.com or other websites associated with the Services, we may send one or more cookies — a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters — to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and allows the Company to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. Company uses persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Services may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

Log File Information: Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you access a web page. When you register with or view our site, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, referring/exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.

Do Not Track: Your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online service you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, we do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms from a visitor’s browser. If, in the future, we create a program or protocol to respond to such web browser “Do Not Track” signals, we will inform you of the details of that protocol in this Privacy Policy. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit https://www.allaboutdnt.com. At this time, Company does not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking, including “do-not-track” signals.

Clear Gifs Information: When you use the Services, we may employ clear gifs (aka, Web Beacons) which are used to track the online usage patterns of our users anonymously. No personally identifiable information is collected using these clear gifs. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients. The information is used to enable more accurate reporting, improve the effectiveness of our marketing, and allow us to improve our Services for our users.

Mobile Services: We may also collect non-personal information from your mobile device if you have downloaded our Application. This information is generally used to help us deliver the most relevant information to you. Examples of information that may be collected and used include your geographic location, how you use the Application, and information about the type of device you use. In addition, in the event our Application crashes on your mobile device, we will receive information about your mobile device model software version and device carrier, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise improve the performance of our Application. This information is sent to us as aggregated information and is not traceable to any individual and cannot be used to identify an individual.

Location Information: If you use our Services on your mobile device, including through our Application, we may collect the unique device id number and determine your location based on your IP address. If you tell us where you are (e.g., by allowing your mobile device to send us your location), we may store and use that information to provide you with location-based information and advertising. If you want to deactivate this feature, you can deactivate GPS on your mobile device.

Analytics Information: Besides our own solution we use third party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including the web pages you visit, your browser add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving the Service. We may collect and use this analytics information together with your Personal Information to build a broader profile of our individual users so that we can serve you better. These third-parties may also deploy cookies, pixels, or other identifiers on the Website or collect information through our Application.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on activity for its staff and providing other services relating to web page activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

How we protect your information

Company uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Company and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, Company makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as secure connections (ssl)). In case you create an account you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from Company, at all times.

Compromise of personal information

Your choices about your information

Please refer to the privacy settings of the SNS to determine how you may adjust our permissions and manage the interactivity between the Services and your social media account or mobile device.
