Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. We're committed to protecting your personal info and being transparent about how we handle it.

Look, we get it - nobody really enjoys reading privacy policies. But we're gonna keep this real and straightforward.

At Arcane Veil Frontier Fitness, we're not just about building physical strength; we care about building trust too. This policy explains what personal info we collect when you train with us, sign up for classes, or just browse our website. We'll tell you why we need it, how we use it, and who we might share it with (spoiler: we don't sell your data to random third parties).

We operate outta Vancouver, BC, so we follow Canadian privacy laws like PIPEDA, plus we respect international standards like GDPR because some of our members travel from Europe. Bottom line: your info's safe with us, and you've got rights.

Questions? Don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help, not hide behind legal jargon.

Personal Details You Give Us

When you sign up for a membership or book a class, we'll ask for basics like:

  • Name, email, phone number
  • Mailing address (we're at 2847 Boundary Road, and we need yours for contracts)
  • Date of birth (gotta make sure you're old enough, plus age-appropriate programming)
  • Payment info (processed securely through our payment processor)
  • Emergency contacts (safety first, always)
Health & Fitness Data

Since we offer personal training, nutrition coaching, and recovery services, we might collect:

  • Medical history and physical limitations (so we don't push you into injury territory)
  • Fitness goals and progress tracking
  • Dietary preferences and restrictions
  • Biometric data from our cryotherapy and recovery tech (with your consent)

Note: Health data's sensitive stuff. We handle it with extra care and only use it to personalize your training experience.

Automatically Collected Info

Our website collects some technical data when you visit:

  • IP address and browser type
  • Pages you visit and time spent
  • Device info (mobile vs desktop)
  • Cookies and similar tracking tech (see the Cookies section below)

We're not collecting info just for fun. Here's what we actually do with it:

Service Delivery

Managing your membership, booking classes, providing personal training sessions, and keeping track of your fitness journey. Y'know, the stuff you actually signed up for.

Communication

Sending class schedules, membership updates, special events, and yeah - occasionally some promotions (but you can opt out anytime). We'll also reach out if there's a schedule change or facility update.

Safety & Security

Using your health info to keep you safe during training, contacting emergency contacts if needed, and maintaining facility security (we've got cameras in common areas).

Improvement & Analytics

Figuring out which classes are most popular, optimizing our schedule, improving our website, and generally making your experience better. All done with aggregated, anonymized data when possible.

Legal Compliance

Sometimes we're legally required to keep certain records or respond to valid legal requests. It's not exciting, but it's necessary.

We're pretty protective of your data. We don't sell it or hand it out like candy. But there are some situations where we need to share it:

Service Providers

Third-party companies that help us run the business, like:

  • Payment processors - They handle your credit card info securely (we never see your full card number)
  • Email services - For sending newsletters and updates
  • Scheduling software - To manage class bookings
  • Cloud storage - For secure data backup

These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and can only use it for the specific services they provide to us.

Professional Partners

With your consent, we might share relevant health info with:

  • Nutritionists and dietitians we work with
  • Physiotherapists or medical professionals (if you're in our recovery programs)
  • Certified trainers and instructors (only what they need to know)
Legal Requirements

We'll disclose info if required by law, like responding to court orders, protecting our rights, or preventing fraud.

Business Transfers

If we ever sold the gym or merged with another company (not planning on it, but ya never know), your info would transfer to the new owners who'd have to honor this privacy policy.

We do NOT: Sell your personal data to advertisers, share it with unrelated third parties for their marketing, or use it for purposes you haven't consented to.

Cookies aren't just delicious snacks - they're also little files that websites store on your device. Here's the deal with ours:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the site to work. Think login functionality, shopping cart (for merch), and basic security. You can't really opt out of these without breaking the website.

Analytics Cookies

We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how people use our site. It helps us figure out what's working and what's not. The data's anonymized, so we're not tracking you personally.

Marketing Cookies

These help us show you relevant ads when you're browsing other sites (like Facebook or Instagram). You can opt out of these through your cookie preferences.

Managing Cookies

You've got options:

  • Use the "Manage Cookies" button at the top of this page
  • Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies
  • Opt out of Google Analytics: Google Analytics Opt-out

Heads up: Blocking all cookies might affect your experience on our site, like having to log in every time or not being able to book classes online.

Your data, your rules. Here's what you can do:

Access

Request a copy of all the personal data we have on you. We'll send it over in a readable format.

Correction

If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it ASAP.

Deletion

Want us to delete your data? You can request this (with some legal exceptions, like if we need it for tax records).

Portability

Get your data in a format you can transfer to another service. Leaving us? No hard feelings.

Opt-Out

How to Exercise Your Rights

We'll respond within 30 days. Might need to verify your identity first - just to make sure we're not handing your info to some random person.
