Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is effective as of 20 December 2022.

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY NOTICE CAREFULLY.

If you live in certain countries, additional terms may apply to you and can be found at the end of this Privacy Policy (the "Additional Terms"). These Additional Terms override the other terms of this Privacy Policy to the extent of any inconsistency.

We are committed to protecting your privacy as a user (referred to as "User", "you" or "your"), and we take our responsibility regarding the security of your Personal Data (defined below) very seriously. We will be clear and transparent about the Personal Data we are collecting and what we will do with that Personal Data.

This privacy notice (the "Privacy Policy") describes the types of Personal Data we collect on the forcafit websites (https://www.forcafit.app, https://www.forcafititsines.app, https://www.kelseywells.app) (the “Websites”), forcafit mobile application ("forcafit App"), blog, forum (available online at https://forum.forcafit.app and via the forcafit App, "Forum"), social media pages, online shop or one of our other products or services, all of which are part of forcafit's platform (the "Platform").

Who is responsible for processing your Personal Data?

The Bikini Body Training Company Pty Ltd (ACN 162 849 701) and its affiliates, including iFIT Health & Fitness, forcafit’s parent company, (referred to as "forcafit", "we", "us" or "our") is the "data controller" (i.e., the organisation responsible) for all Personal Data that is collected and used via the platform for the purposes of data privacy laws, principles, and regulations which may apply to you (including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) ("Privacy Act"), the applicable Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act, the European General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the General Data Protection Regulation of the United Kingdom ("UK GDPR") and the Californian Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act and its implementing regulations ("CCPA")) (collectively, "Data Privacy Law").

What Personal Data do we collect (including by automated means)?

We may ask for and collect your Personal Data (either directly through your use of the Platform or when you communicate with us in any other way, or indirectly through our third party partners or providers) in a number of ways to provide you with the products or services that you request – please refer to Section 3 below for more information on how we use your Personal Data. We may also collect information from you automatically when you visit our Platform – for more information, please refer to our Cookie Policy available at the following webpage: www.forcafit.app/pages/cookie-policy.

Health and Sensitive Information

Users may choose to enter health information into the forcafit App, like their height or weight, or, in specific circumstances designed to protect the user, whether they are pregnant. If users choose to participate in a pregnancy-related survey or workout program, they may also provide sensitive information about their health and pregnancy.

Some of the Platform’s functionalities (e.g., free text fields) may allow a User to enter information the User wants to share with forcafit that could be of a sensitive nature. These free text fields may appear completing workout reviews, submitting feedback on your experience of the Platform, or when completing customer surveys. Users may also choose to share potentially sensitive information when interacting with our support team.

forcafit may use or otherwise infer information about your health, including information about your medical conditions or requirements, as well as data on your physical characteristics from this information.

For users in jurisdictions that require it forcafit requires explicit consent from users before they can add their health data (like height and weight) into the App or otherwise submit sensitive information to forcafit. Users may always withdraw your consent to the processing of your sensitive information.

You can withdraw your consent for the processing of health data you entered into the App at any time within the Profile Menu in the forcafit App or by contacting us using the contact information in Section 11 below. If you provided forcafit with consent to process any other sensitive information, or you’re unsure about how to withdraw consent or about what information you did provide, please contact us using the contact information in Section 11, below. Withdrawing consent will not prohibit you from using the forcafit App, but please note some functionality across the Platform, like tracking weight loss progress, could be disabled or may not function properly.

Linked Devices

Users may choose to connect a third-party device (like an Apple Watch or fitness tracker) and enable that device to share your fitness activity or health information (e.g., heart rate, steps, water intake) it collects with forcafit. You can manage what data your device shares with forcafit at any time within the Apple Health or Google Fit application on your device.

To learn more about how you can manage what data your Apple device shares with forcafit, please refer to this page.

To learn more about how you can manage what data your Android device shares with forcafit, please refer to this page.

Why and how do we use your Personal Data?

Your Personal Data may be used for the following purposes:

3.1 Provide features of the Platform and the products and services you request:

3.2 Communicate information about our products and services and for other promotional purposes:

With your consent, or as otherwise permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law, we will use your Personal Data to provide information and recommendations that we believe is of interest to you, prior to, during, and after your interactions with us, including marketing communications and news concerning our products, services, events, and other promotions. You can opt-out at any time after you have given your consent to such communications. In providing tailored promotional materials to you, forcafit may use the personal information collected through your use of the Platform, such as the user preferences you set and profile data you submit, any fitness activity data generated through your use of the Platform, and any medical conditions or dietary preferences that you have identified to us.

3.3 Customer service communications:

We use your data to manage our relationship with you as our customer and to improve our services and enhance your experience with us (e.g., to respond to your inquiries when you reach out to us). From time to time, we may also conduct customer surveys to gauge satisfaction with our Platform and the services and products that we provide.

3.4 Administrative or legal purposes:

We use your Personal Data to operate our business, including for statistical and marketing analysis, systems testing, and to diagnose technical and service problems, maintenance and development of our Platform, or in order to deal with a dispute or claim. We may also perform data analysis based on the data we collect from you for statistical and marketing analysis purposes – for example, we may use information about how users of our Platform search for and find specific workouts to better understand the best ways to organize and present the content that we offer.

3.5 Security, health, administrative, crime prevention/detection and legal purposes:

We may use your Personal Data to verify your information and identity, and to protect against, identify and prevent fraud and other unlawful activities. We may also share your Personal Data with government authorities or enforcement bodies for compliance with legal requirements, or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law.

3.6 Other purposes:

We may also use your Personal Data in other ways, and where we do so, we will provide specific notice at the time of collection and obtain your consent unless otherwise permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law.

How do we protect and manage your Personal Data (including international transfers and retention periods)?

4. Encryption and Security

We follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your Personal Data, which are designed to protect it against misuse, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure and accidental loss, destruction, or damage. The data you provide to us is protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. SSL is the industry standard method of encrypting Personal Data and credit card details so that they can be securely transferred over the internet.

4.2 International Transfers of Your Personal Data

forcafit operates businesses in multiple jurisdictions, some of which are not located in the EU, EEA, or the UK. The Personal Data that forcafit collects from users will be stored in Australia and/or the United States of America and might also be shared with third party data recipients (e.g., e-commerce and logistics providers such as Shopify, and customer support providers such as Zendesk) that are not located in the EEA, UK, Australia, or the United States of America. Therefore, the Personal Data that you provide to forcafit may be transferred internationally to countries other than the country in which you initially provided your data.

While countries outside the EU, EEA, and the UK do not always have strong data privacy laws, we take measures to protect your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy and in compliance with applicable Data Privacy Law. We also require all third party data recipients (including our service providers) to process your information in a secure manner and in accordance with the GDPR and other applicable Data Privacy Law (e.g., through the signing of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses). If you have further questions about this or would like to request to view copies of the applicable safeguards (where required), please contact us at the details in Section 11 below.

4.3 Retention of Your Personal Data

We will not retain your data for longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is being processed. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the purposes for which we process it, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

We also consider the periods for which we might need to retain personal data in order to meet our legal obligations, or to deal with complaints and queries, and to protect our legal rights in the event of a claim being made.

In general, this means that we will likely keep your Personal Data for as long as your User Account is open. Following closure of your User Account, however, we may still retain a limited portion of your Personal Data so that we can maintain a continuous relationship with you if and when we are in contact with you again, and to comply with our internal processes and any legal obligations.

When we no longer need your personal data, we will securely delete or destroy it. We will also consider if and how we can minimize over time the personal data that we use, and if we can fully anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you or identify you, in which case we may use that information without further notice to you.

Information that you have shared in the Forum will remain public even after you have closed your Forum account. Where you choose to delete content that you have posted to the Forum, the information will not be deleted from third party websites, apps, or internet search engine indexes instantly as removal of the content depends on third party policies.

Who do we share your Personal Data with?

We share your Personal Data with the following types of third parties:

The Forum

The ForcaFit Forum is a dedicated place for women to share their experiences, gain knowledge, find inspiration, and develop encouraging friendships during their health and fitness journey.

We encourage users to post content that is helpful throughout a health and fitness journey. We ask that you be respectful and supportive of one another as we each strive to reach our goals and become happier and healthier!

In order to help us all achieve this, we have a few simple guidelines we ask all users to adhere to. These guidelines form part of the Terms of Use. Please also refer to our Privacy Policy.

Additional Terms

Canada

Section 3.6 (Other purposes) is replaced with the following: "We may also collect, use and disclose your Personal Data in other ways, and where we do so, we will obtain your further consent".

We will only process your personal data where required to operate the Platform, provide you with products and services, and to operate our business, including for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. In most cases, we will need to process your personal data so that we can enter into contracts under our terms of use (when orders for products are made), and to fulfill the provision or delivery of goods or services to you on the Platform (including subscriptions to the Platform).

In addition to the purposes set out elsewhere in the policy, forcafit may collect, use and disclose your Personal Data for marketing and analytics purposes, including to display targeted advertising, based on your interests as inferred from web activity, when you visit other sites around the web or as you use various social media platforms. Please see our Cookie Policy for further details, including how you can control the use of your Personal Data for targeted advertising purposes.

By using the Platform or otherwise providing us with your Personal Data, you agree to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Data as set out in this Privacy Policy.

We may also collect, use and disclose your Personal Data without your consent, as required or permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law, such as to use or disclose your Personal Data in the case of an emergency that threatens the life, health or security of you or another individual.

Section 4.2 (International transfers of your Personal Data) is replaced with the following: "forcafit operates businesses in multiple jurisdictions, some of which are not located in your country of residence.

Therefore, the Personal Data that you provide to forcafit may be transferred internationally to countries other than the country in which you initially provided your data".

When transferring Personal Data to a third party service provider, or outside of your home country, we take measures to protect your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy and in compliance with applicable Data Privacy Law. Using contractual and other means, we also require all third party data recipients (including our service providers) to process your information in a secure manner and in accordance with the applicable Data Privacy Law in your country of residence. However, when stored or processed in another country, your Personal Data will be subject to the applicable Data Privacy Law of that country, which may not provide the same protections as the applicable Data Privacy Law in your country of residence. If you have further questions about this or would like to request to view copies of the applicable safeguards (where required), please contact us at the details in Section 11 below.

The section dealing with the payment of a fee to access your Personal Data in Section 6 is replaced with the following: "While you will generally not be required to pay a fee to access your Personal Data or to exercise any of your other statutory rights, where permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access would require an exceptional amount of effort, or may decline to comply with frivolous or vexatious requests".
