PRIVACY POLICY

As a leading Personal and Group Training provider, Enduro Fitness needs a wide range of "personal information" in order to carry out its business. "Personal information" is essentially information from which you can be identified. This Privacy Policy explains Enduro Fitness's approach to the handling of personal information, and how we comply with our privacy obligations.

Enduro Fitness is bound by the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988. If you provide us with information about your health, we also strive to ensure that our handling of that information complies with applicable State and Territory health records legislation.
1. What personal information does Enduro Fitness collect and why?

Enduro Fitness collects personal information from its clients and from membership applicants, contractors, employees, and people we do business with.

Enduro Fitness needs personal information:
- to provide its clients and members with personalised fitness services (including assessments of physical fitness, health status and goals); and
- to conduct our business (e.g. to administer accounts, charge fees and to communicate with our clients and members and business contacts).

To illustrate, the personal information we collect about our clients and members includes:
- Identification Information, including each client's name, address, contact details (including telephone numbers and E-mail address) and date of birth.

- Health information, including information provided on the Client information form (that clients complete before starting their first session) and information we collect in the course of memberships. Health information is a sensitive form of personal information, so we only collect it with your consent, and we only collect what we need.

We need this personal information to provide health and fitness services, and is collected from application forms, and when members attend our sessions and communicate with us through our website.

We also collect:
- Business Contact Information from and about our suppliers and other people we do business with (e.g. our landlords). This information is needed so that we can manage our business;

- "Next of Kin" Information, which we collect from our members for use in the case of an emergency. We suggest that our members tell their next of kin that they have been nominated for this purpose; and

- Employee Information. To ascertain SBBA (South Bank Business Association) membership and subsequent discounts we provide for such members.

- Student Information. To again ascertain Full time student status for discounts available.

2. How does Enduro Fitness use personal information?

As indicated, we use personal information to provide fitness and health services, to manage and administer client memberships and to operate our business.
For example, if you are a new client, we will use your personal information to process your client information and health status prior to commencement of your first session.
Once you become a member, we will use your information to charge you fees and administer your account. We will also use your personal information to communicate with you, including answering any enquires you may have.
Unless you tell us otherwise, we may also use members' personal information to mail out special promotions, newsletters and other marketing material.
For instance, Enduro Fitness may mail its members information about its own promotions, or those offered by our business partners. If you don't want us to do this, we give you an opportunity to "opt out" from receiving such material on all promotional E-mails sent.

3. Does Enduro Fitness share my personal information with anyone else?

Enduro Fitness will disclose your personal information in a few different ways.

Like most businesses, sometimes we outsource or "contract out" specific support services from time to time and this may mean that our contractors see your personal information. For instance, sometimes we may engage IT contractors to maintain our databases. All our contractors are subject to strict confidentiality obligations, which mean that they are authorised only to use personal information in order to provide the services or to perform the functions required by us.

We will disclose personal information if we are under a legal requirement to do so (e.g. under a court order, or if required under legislation), or if an authorised request is made from a law enforcement agency. Otherwise, we will only disclose personal information with the consent of the relevant individuals. For example, if you are a member, with your consent (and only with your consent):
- we may provide personal information to Enduro Fitness's personal trainers to assist you to improve your fitness and well being, and so they can advise you which fitness programs are suitable for you. Of course, all our employees are required to keep your personal information confidential also; and
- we may disclose personal information to our business partners so that they can contact you directly with special offers, discounts or other membership benefits.

4. How can I access my Personal Information?

Privacy laws give you rights to seek access to the personal information we hold about you.
You can seek access by sending an E-mail to feeltheresults@endurofitness.com 

Generally, we should be able to provide you with access within a few weeks of your request, although we may need more time if your request is complicated. Ordinarily, Enduro Fitness will not charge you for the cost of providing access to your personal information. However, if we do propose to charge you, we will advise you of the relevant charge before we provide you with access.
We try to ensure that all the personal information that we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, we rely on you to help us with this. If you wish to update or correct the personal information we hold about you, please E-mail: feeltheresults@endurofitness.com 

We will contact you if there is any issue about amending the record of personal information we hold about you.

5. Is my Personal Information kept secure?

Enduro Fitness takes reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold is stored in a secure environment protected from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We remind our staff and contractors of the importance of storing personal information in a secure way, and to treat it like confidential information.

6. Anonymity

Enduro Fitness only offers its health and fitness services to members, and it is not possible to become a member of Enduro Fitness without providing Enduro Fitness with the personal information that is requested in our client information and waiver documents that are required to be filled out prior to commencing any sessions. We may be able to answer telephone questions without collecting personal information about you, but if you would like to use our services, we need your personal information. This is in everyone's interests (e.g. if you fall ill at one of our sessions, we need to know who you are).

7. Website/online privacy

In that context, it is to be read as forming part of the terms of use for our website.
