1. Introduction
    1. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to personal information provided to Trainerous Ltd. (the “Vendor” “we” “us” or “our”) through the services we make or offer (“Services”), including the Trainerous software-as-a-service platform as well as any associated website, application, or widget that links to this Privacy Policy.
    2. This Privacy Policy covers how our Services process information relating to identified or identifiable individuals and households (“Personal Information”). (We use the term “process” to refer to the collection, use, storage, and sharing of Personal Information.)
    3. We process Personal Information on behalf of our customers (“Trainerous Customers”), which include various kinds of individuals and businesses who provide training, coaching, or similar services to individuals (“Trainees”). For instance, our customers include a wide variety of personal trainers, coaches, studios, clinics, and fitness facilities. We provide this Privacy Policy on their behalf.
    4. We also process certain Personal Information of our customers on our own behalf, and this kind of processing is also described in this Privacy Notice.
    5. Your Personal Information may be shared with third parties. For example, if you use the Services as a trainee as part of your fitness facility membership or as a trainer for a Trainerous Customer, your Personal Information may also be provided to your fitness facility and/or your trainer. This Privacy Policy does not cover collection and use of Personal Information by third parties, and we are not responsible for the actions of third parties with respect to your Personal Information. You are encouraged to review the privacy practices of your fitness facility and/or trainer prior to providing Personal Information.
    6. We shall revise this Privacy Policy when our Personal Information processing practices change. The most current version of which shall always be available at https://www.trainerous.com/privacy.
    7. Please note that we are not regulated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). Consequently, we are not required to comply with that law in our delivery of the Service or the processing of your Personal Information.
  2. Processing of Personal Information
    1. Our Services collect the following categories of Personal Information:
      1. Information you submit to us
        1. Account and identity information: in the event that you choose to register as a user of the Services, you will be asked to create a unique username and private password (collectively, the “Access ID”) which will be used to create and activate an account through which we can make the Services available to you (the “Account”). We may require certain information such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address to make the Services available to you. Trainers may also elect to import their trainees’ contacts and information contained from their contact lists.
        2. Fitness information: you may choose to provide other information to improve your experience or enable certain features of the Services. If you are a Trainer (as defined in the Terms of Service), such information can include fitness and meal plans you create for Trainees (as defined in the Terms of Service). If you are a Trainee, such information can include your fitness and nutrition information.
        3. Financial information: we may collect billing and other financial information to process payments required in connection with the Services.
        4. Commercial information: we maintain records about the transactions you engage in with us or other parties (e.g., a Trainer) through the Services, such as information about purchases, what has been provided to you, when and where, if applicable, how much you paid, and similar information.
        5. User content: you may choose to provide additional information to improve your experience or for Trainees’ or Trainers’ experiences which may be in any form, such as text, images, sound, or video.

For example, we collect information about how you interact with the Services, such as when you log into your Account, how you navigate the Services, and what functions you use in the Services. We also collect information about the devices used to access the Services, such as the device type, operating system, and IP address.
        2. Location Information: With your consent, we collect Personal Information about your location.
      3. Information we collect from third parties
        1. Social Media and App Information: If you link your Account to third-party services, we may collect information about you from such other services. You can also link your Account to other social media, fitness, or business applications. The types of information we may collect from such third-party services depends on the nature of the third-party services you connect to your Account. For example, you can link your account to Facebook and import your Facebook profile information. You may also choose to grant us access to fitness or activity information from a third-party fitness application.
        2. YouTube API Data: Without limiting the foregoing, the Services use certain YouTube API Services. Google, which operates YouTube, describes its processing of Personal Information in its privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. We process data, content (including audiovisual content) and information provided to the Services through the YouTube API services, including without limitation YouTube Video ID information, connection tokens for YouTube channels, and YouTube video thumbnail information (collectively, the “YouTube API Data”) to provide the functionality of the Services to you, including without limitation to (i) enable Trainers to search and select video content (including training exercises) for sharing and display to Trainees and other users of the Services; (ii) enable Trainers to connect to their YouTube channel, and create custom video content (including training exercises) for the Services and link to, share and display such content and control the settings of such content (including un-listing the content from YouTube); (iii) enable Trainers, Trainees, and other users of the Services to play YouTube content through the Services.
        3. Consumer profile information: Information used to create a profile about you reflecting your preferences, market segments, likes, favorites and other data or analytics provided about you or your account by a Trainer, Trainerous Customer, social media companies or data aggregators, including household data, the products and services you use or intend to use or purchase, and your interests.
    2. We use Personal Information for the following purposes:
      1. to create and activate your Account;

    4. We retain each category of Personal Information above for as long as may be reasonably to achieve the purposes for which it was collected or as may be required or permitted by law, after which time we will delete the Personal Information or aggregate or anonymize the information so that it no longer relates to an identified or identifiable person or household. We generally consider the following factors when we determine how long to retain Personal Information: (1) retention periods established under applicable law; (2) industry best practices; (3) whether the purpose of processing is reasonably likely to justify further processing; (4) risks to individual privacy in continued processing; (5) applicable data protection impact assessments; (6) IT systems design considerations/limitations; and (7) the costs associated with continued processing, retention, and deletion. For more information about our retention periods, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section, below.
  3. The Legal Basis for Processing Your Personal Information
    1. For users of our Services in the EU and UK, the legal bases for our processing of Personal Information is primarily that the processing is necessary for providing and supporting the Services for which you, as a Trainee, Trainer, or Trainerous Customer have entered into a contract with us.
    2. We may also process Personal Information in accordance with our legitimate interests, as outlined in this privacy policy, or because of a non-contractual legal obligation that applies to us, such as legally compelled disclosures.
    3. We may also, on occasion, process Personal Information on the basis of your consent. Under such circumstances, you have the right to withdraw your consent.
  4. Disclosure of Personal Information

We disclose Personal Information as described below.

  1. If you are a Trainee, Personal Information you provide may be shared with your Trainer and/or Trainerous Customer.
  2. If you are a Trainer, Personal Information you provide may be shared with the Trainerous Customer with which you are associated.

  7. We share Personal Information with third-party service providers that we engage with contracts that require them to use your Personal Information only for the purpose of delivering the services for which we have engaged the third-party or as otherwise permitted by law. These kinds of third parties provide business, professional, administrative, or technical support functions for us, such as payment processing, billing, data storage, transmission of email or other messages, and quality assurance.
  8. At your direction, we share Personal Information with third-party partners in connection with your use of the functionality of the Services. This includes companies, such as FitBit, Garmin, and Withings, that collect, analyze, process, and/or store data that you may elect to integrate with our Services.
  9. Children's Privacy

We do not direct the Services to children under the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction, typically age 18, or knowingly collect Personal Information from children under that age. If you have not reached the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, our Terms of Service do not allow you to use our Services. If we learn that Personal Information has been collected on the Services from persons under that age, we will promptly delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child has provided Personal Information, then you may alert us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section, below, and request that we delete your child’s Personal Information from our Services.

  1. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control Signals

Because no consensus has emerged on how to handle “Do Not Track” signals, the Services do not respond to such signals or use them to alter how Personal Information is processed. We also do not process the Global Privacy Control signal because, in connection with the Services, we do not sell or share Personal Information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising purposes.

We will regularly assess our security to ensure that we have in place reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards in place to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure.
  3. We take steps designed to ensure that only those of our employees who need access to your Personal Information to fulfil their employment duties will have access to it.

By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules than in your country. While such information is outside of the jurisdiction where it was collected, it may be subject to the laws of the country in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country.
