Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 23, 2025

Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But your data matters to us, so we've tried to keep this as straightforward as possible. No corporate jargon, just the real deal about how we handle your info.

What Information We Collect

Alright, let's break down what we actually need from you to keep things running smoothly here at EmberForge Chronos.

Personal Details

When you sign up or book a session, we'll grab your name, email, phone number, and address. Pretty standard stuff - can't send you class reminders or membership info without it.

Payment Information

We process payments through secure third-party processors. We don't actually store your full credit card details on our systems - that's handled by our payment partners who're way better equipped for that kinda thing.

Fitness & Health Data

For personal training and athletic performance programs, we'll track your workout history, performance metrics, movement assessments, and any health conditions you share with us. This helps our trainers design programs that actually work for YOU, not some generic template.

Usage Data

We see what pages you visit on our site, what device you're using, and how you interact with our booking system. It's all about making the experience smoother for everyone.

How We Use Your Information

We're not in the business of selling your data or spamming you with nonsense. Here's what we actually do with your info:

  • Running Your Membership: Processing payments, scheduling classes, tracking attendance - y'know, the basics.
  • Personalizing Training: Your trainers use your fitness data to build programs that match your goals and current fitness level.
  • Communication: Class confirmations, schedule changes, membership updates. We'll shoot you an email or text when it matters.
  • Safety First: Emergency contact info and health conditions help us keep you safe during high-intensity training.
  • Improving Services: We analyze trends to figure out what's working and what needs tweaking - like adding more evening HIIT classes 'cause everyone's schedule is packed.
  • Legal Stuff: Sometimes we gotta keep records for tax purposes, liability protection, or if the law requires it.
Quick Note: We'll never use your health data for anything beyond helping you train better. No selling it to insurance companies or advertisers - that's just not cool.
How We Protect Your Data

We take security seriously around here. Your data's locked down tighter than our functional movement assessments.

Technical Measures
  • SSL encryption for all data transmission
  • Secure servers with regular security audits
  • Encrypted databases for sensitive information
  • Regular backups stored securely offsite
  • Firewall protection and intrusion detection systems
Physical & Administrative
  • Limited staff access - only people who need it for their job can see your data
  • Confidentiality agreements with all staff members
  • Locked filing cabinets for any physical records
  • Regular security training for our team

Look, no system's 100% bulletproof, but we're doing everything we reasonably can to keep your info safe. If somehow there's ever a breach, we'll let you know ASAP and tell you exactly what happened.

Third-Party Services

We don't do everything in-house - some services are just better handled by specialists. Here's who we work with:

Payment Processors

We use secure payment gateways that comply with PCI-DSS standards. They handle your payment info so we don't have to store it ourselves.

Email & SMS Services

Our class reminders and updates go through trusted communication platforms. They only get the info they need to send you messages - nothing more.

Scheduling Software

Our booking system's run by a third-party provider. They see your name, contact details, and what classes you're signed up for.

Analytics Tools

We use web analytics to understand how people use our site. This data's anonymized - we're looking at trends, not tracking individuals.

Important: All our third-party partners are required to protect your data and can't use it for their own marketing. We've got agreements in place to make sure they're playing by the rules.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA and provincial regulations), you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal info:

Access Your Data

You can request a copy of all the personal info we've got on you. We'll get it to you within 30 days.

Correct Mistakes

If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it. Accurate records help everyone.

Delete Your Info

Want us to erase your data? We'll do it, unless we're legally required to keep certain records (like tax stuff).

Opt Out

Don't wanna get marketing emails? No problem. You can unsubscribe anytime - we'll still send essential stuff like class cancellations though.

Data Portability

Need your workout data in a format you can use elsewhere? We'll export it for you.

Withdraw Consent

Changed your mind about something you agreed to? You can withdraw consent anytime - just know it might affect some services.

To exercise any of these rights, shoot us an email at info@emberforgechronos.info or call (416) 555-0147. We'll verify your identity and get things sorted.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Yeah, we use cookies - not the protein kind unfortunately. Here's the deal:

Essential Cookies

These keep the site working - letting you log in, book classes, that sorta thing. You can't really turn these off without breaking the site.

Analytics Cookies

These help us see which pages people visit, how long they stay, what's popular. It's all anonymized data that helps us make the site better.

Preference Cookies

Remember your settings and preferences so you don't have to reset everything each time you visit.

Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. Check your browser's help section if you wanna adjust things. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might make some features wonky.

Health & Fitness Data

This deserves its own section 'cause it's extra sensitive stuff. Your health info's protected under both general privacy laws and specific health information regulations.

What We Collect
  • Medical conditions that affect your training (injuries, heart conditions, etc.)
  • Movement assessment results and functional capacity
  • Workout performance metrics and progress tracking
  • Emergency contact information
  • Fitness goals and training history
How It's Used

Your trainers and coaches use this info to design safe, effective programs. We share it within our team on a need-to-know basis - like if a substitute trainer's leading your session. That's it. No one else sees this stuff unless you specifically authorize it or there's a medical emergency.

Retention

We keep health records for 7 years after your last visit - that's standard practice for liability and continuity of care. After that, it's securely destroyed.

Emergency Disclosure: In a medical emergency, we may share relevant health info with first responders or medical personnel. Your safety comes first.
