Hey There - Let's Talk Privacy

Look, we get it. Nobody really loves reading privacy policies, but here's the deal - we actually care about your personal info and we're not gonna do anything shady with it. This isn't one of those "we'll sell your data to whoever" situations.

At Aetherion Ascend, we've built something special here in Vancouver, and part of that means respecting your privacy like we'd want ours respected. Whether you're crushing it in our HIIT sessions or working with one of our nutrition coaches, your data stays protected.

This policy breaks down what info we collect, why we need it, and what we do (and don't do) with it. We've tried to keep the legal jargon to a minimum because, honestly, life's too short for that.

Alright, here's what we're collecting and why it's not creepy:

Personal Details
  • Your name, email, phone number - pretty standard stuff so we can actually reach you
  • Mailing address when you sign up for membership
  • Payment info (though we don't actually store credit card numbers - that's handled by our secure payment processor)
  • Emergency contact details because safety's not negotiable
Health & Fitness Data
  • Medical history and any injuries or conditions we need to know about - this helps our trainers keep you safe
  • Fitness assessments and performance metrics
  • Workout logs and progress tracking (only if you're using our training programs)
  • Nutrition data if you're working with our meal planning services
Technical Stuff
  • IP address and browser type when you visit our website
  • How you navigate through our site - helps us make it less annoying to use
  • Login credentials if you've got an online account with us

We're not gonna beat around the bush - here's exactly what we do with your data:

Running the Actual Business

Processing your membership, scheduling sessions, sending you reminders about classes - the basics that keep things running smooth.

Personalizing Your Experience

Your fitness goals aren't the same as everyone else's, so we use your info to customize training programs, nutrition plans, and recommendations that'll actually help you hit those targets.

Keeping You in the Loop

Class changes, new programs, facility updates - we'll shoot you emails or texts (but only the important stuff, we're not gonna spam you).

Making Things Better

We look at how people use our services to figure out what's working and what needs improvement. All anonymous, no creepy individual tracking.

Legal Stuff

Sometimes we gotta comply with laws, respond to legal requests, or protect our rights. It's boring but necessary.

Real talk - we're not selling your info to random companies. Here's the short list of who might see your data:

Service Providers

Payment processors, email services, scheduling software - basically the tools we need to run things. They're all bound by strict confidentiality agreements and can only use your data to help us serve you better.

Healthcare Professionals

If you're working with our recovery therapy or need medical clearance, we might need to share relevant health info with qualified practitioners. Always with your permission, of course.

Legal Requirements

If the law requires it or there's a legitimate safety concern, we might have to disclose info. We'll fight it if we think it's unreasonable, but sometimes our hands are tied.

Business Transitions

If we ever sell or merge the business (not planning on it, but you never know), your data would transfer to the new owners. You'd be notified if this happens.

Security's a big deal for us. Here's what we're doing to keep your info locked down:

  • Encryption: All sensitive data gets encrypted both when it's moving around and when it's sitting in our databases. Industry-standard stuff.
  • Limited Access: Only staff who actually need your info to do their jobs can access it. Everyone signs confidentiality agreements.
  • Secure Systems: We use firewalls, regular security audits, and keep our software updated to patch any vulnerabilities.
  • Physical Security: Our servers and paper files are kept in secure locations with restricted access.
  • Regular Backups: We backup data regularly so nothing gets lost if something goes wrong.

Real Talk: No system's 100% bulletproof. We do everything we can to protect your data, but if there's ever a breach, we'll let you know right away and tell you what we're doing about it.

This is your data, and you've got rights. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Info

Wanna see what we've got on file? Just ask. We'll send you a copy of your personal data within a reasonable timeframe.

Correct Mistakes

If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it. You can update most stuff through your account or by contacting us directly.

Delete Your Data

Want us to erase your info? We'll do it, though we might need to keep some stuff for legal or accounting reasons. But everything else? Gone.

Opt Out of Marketing

Not interested in promotional emails? Hit the unsubscribe link or tell us. You'll still get important stuff about your membership, but no marketing.

Restrict Processing

You can ask us to limit how we use your data in certain situations. We'll walk you through what's possible.

Data Portability

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

Yeah, we use cookies - not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. Here's the breakdown:

Essential Cookies

These keep the site working - login sessions, shopping cart stuff, basic functionality. Can't really turn these off if you want the site to work properly.

Analytics Cookies

Help us understand how people use the site so we can make it better. All anonymous - we're not tracking individuals.

Preference Cookies

Remember your settings and choices so you don't have to keep entering them.

Your Choice: You can control cookies through your browser settings. Block 'em all if you want, though some parts of the site might not work as smoothly.

We offer youth programs, but we're extra careful with information about anyone under 18.

If you're under 18, we need a parent or guardian to provide consent before we collect any personal info. Parents can review, update, or request deletion of their kid's information anytime.

For youth programs, we only collect what's necessary for training and safety - medical info, emergency contacts, that sort of thing. No unnecessary data collection, period.

We don't hoard your data forever. Here's our approach:

  • Active Members: We keep your info as long as you're a member and using our services.
  • After You Leave: We'll hold onto some data for a bit (usually up to 7 years) for legal and accounting purposes. Financial records, liability waivers, that kind of stuff.
  • Marketing Data: If you've opted into marketing, we'll keep that until you unsubscribe or we haven't heard from you in a while.
  • Anonymous Data: We might keep anonymized analytics data indefinitely since it can't identify you.

When we don't need your data anymore, we securely delete or anonymize it. No sitting around in forgotten databases.

Things change, laws evolve, and sometimes we need to update this policy. When we do, we'll:

  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top
  • Post the new version on our website
  • Send you an email if the changes are significant
  • Give you a heads up before any changes take effect

We're not gonna pull any sneaky stuff. If something major changes, you'll know about it.

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