Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously. Here's how we handle your info.

Last Updated: October 31, 2025

Look, we get it - nobody actually loves reading privacy policies. But since you're here training with us at Shadow Venom Chronos Fitness, you deserve to know what happens with your personal info.

This policy covers everything from your membership details to how we handle your training data and payment information. We're not gonna sell your email to spam companies or anything sketchy like that. This doc explains what we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe.

By using our facility, booking classes, or signing up for personal training, you're agreeing to this privacy policy. If something doesn't sit right with you, hit us up and we'll talk it through.

Personal Details

When you sign up, we'll grab your name, email, phone number, and address. Pretty standard stuff for any gym membership. We also need your emergency contact info because, well, we're doing combat training here and safety comes first.

Health & Fitness Data

If you're working with our coaches one-on-one, we keep track of your fitness goals, workout history, and any injuries or health conditions we should know about. This helps us make sure you're not overdoing it or doing exercises that could mess you up.

Payment Information

Credit card details, billing addresses - the usual. We use secure payment processors, so your financial info isn't just sitting on our servers.

Usage Data

We track which classes you attend, when you check in, and how often you're showing up. Helps us figure out scheduling and popular class times. Plus, it's motivating to see your own consistency.

Website Activity

Like most websites, we see what pages you visit, how long you stick around, and what device you're using. Nothing creepy, just basic analytics to make the site better.

  • Managing your membership and billing - gotta keep the lights on
  • Scheduling your classes and personal training sessions
  • Sending you updates about class cancellations, schedule changes, or new programs
  • Customizing your training programs based on your goals and progress
  • Keeping you safe - that's why we need emergency contacts and health info
  • Improving our services and figuring out what's working
  • Sending promotional offers (but only if you said it's cool - you can opt out anytime)
  • Complying with legal requirements and handling any disputes

We're not in the business of selling your info, but there are times when we need to share it:

Service Providers

We work with payment processors, email services, and booking software. They only get what they need to do their job, and they're contractually obligated to keep your data secure.

Legal Requirements

If the law requires it or if there's a legitimate legal request, we might have to hand over information. We're not thrilled about it either, but we gotta follow the rules.

Emergency Situations

If there's a medical emergency, we'll share relevant health info with first responders. Your safety trumps everything.

Business Transfers

If we ever sell the gym or merge with another facility, your membership data would transfer to the new owners. We'd let you know if this happens.

Yeah, we use cookies - not the delicious kind, unfortunately. These are small files that help our website remember you and work better.

Essential Cookies

These keep you logged in and make sure the website actually functions. You can't really turn these off without breaking everything.

Analytics Cookies

We use tools like Google Analytics to see how people use our site. It's all anonymous data - we're not tracking individuals, just trends and patterns.

Marketing Cookies

These help us show you relevant ads and remember your preferences. You can disable these in your browser settings if they bug you.

Most browsers let you control cookies. Check your browser settings if you want to manage or delete them.

We take security seriously because your trust matters. Here's what we do to protect your data:

  • SSL encryption on our website - that's the little lock icon in your browser
  • Secure, encrypted databases for storing member information
  • Regular security audits and software updates
  • Limited staff access - only people who actually need your info can see it
  • Strong password requirements and two-factor authentication for our systems
  • Regular backups so we don't lose your data

That said, no system is 100% bulletproof. We do everything we can, but we can't guarantee absolute security. If we ever have a data breach, we'll let you know ASAP and tell you what happened.

You've got rights when it comes to your personal data. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Data

Want to see what info we have on you? Just ask. We'll send you a copy of everything we're storing.

Correct Your Information

If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it. You can update most stuff yourself through your member portal.

Delete Your Data

If you cancel your membership and want us to delete your info, we'll do it. Keep in mind we might need to keep some records for legal or financial reasons, but we'll get rid of everything we don't absolutely need.

Opt Out of Marketing

Don't want promotional emails? Click the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or just tell us you're not interested.

Data Portability

You can request your data in a format that you can take to another gym. No hard feelings.

To exercise any of these rights, shoot us an email at info@shadowvenomchronos.info or call (604) 555-7829. We'll get back to you within 30 days.

We don't keep your info forever. Here's the breakdown:

  • Active Members: We keep your data as long as you're training with us, plus a reasonable time after in case you want to come back.
  • Former Members: After you cancel, we'll keep basic records for about 7 years for accounting and legal purposes (taxes, potential disputes, etc.). Health and training data gets deleted after 2 years unless you ask us to keep it longer.
  • Marketing Lists: If you're just on our email list and never joined, we'll remove inactive contacts after 3 years of no engagement.
  • Website Data: Analytics and cookies typically expire after 2 years or when you clear your browser.

If you want us to delete your data sooner, just ask and we'll take care of what we legally can.

Our facility is primarily for adults, but we do accept members aged 16 and up for certain programs. If you're under 18, you need a parent or guardian to sign off on your membership.

We don't knowingly collect information from kids under 16 without parental consent. If we find out we've accidentally collected data from a young teen without proper authorization, we'll delete it immediately.

Parents or guardians can request access to their minor's data, ask for corrections, or request deletion by contacting us directly.

Look, things change. We might update this privacy policy from time to time as we add new services or if privacy laws change.

When we make changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. If it's a major change that significantly affects how we handle your data, we'll send you an email or post a notice at the gym.

We recommend checking back here occasionally to stay in the loop. Continuing to use our services after we post changes means you're cool with the updated policy.

Got questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data? We're here to help. Seriously, don't hesitate to reach out.

Bottom Line

We collect what we need to run the gym, keep you safe, and provide great training. We don't sell your data, we keep it secure, and you can see or delete it anytime. If you've got concerns or questions, just talk to us - we're real people who actually care about this stuff.
