5. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

In Short: In some regions such as the European Economic Area, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control of your personal information.  You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

 

In some regions you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information; (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability.  In certain circumstances you may have the right to object to the processing of your personal information.  We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

 

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.  Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal.

 

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here:  http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm

You have the following rights as to your information: the right to access it; the right to modify it; the right to have it deleted (if it is not required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes); and the right to opt out. More specifically:

 

Reviewing, Updating, Opting Out, and Deleting Your Information. If you have an account with us, you may review and update your account information (such as your name and contact information) online by making the appropriate selections. You may opt out of email mailings by using the link in the bottom of any email communication, or by writing us at info@popfitness.ca.

You may also deactivate your account and request that we delete your information by making the appropriate selections. You can also contact us at info@popfitness.ca

​

Please note that:

• To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or permitting the requested changes or modifications to be made. Unfortunately, we cannot always ensure that such changes or modifications will be reflected in all iterations of your information as previously stored.

• We make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and the ability to correct the information if it is inaccurate or to delete it at your request (if it is not required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes). We may decline to process requests that we believe in good faith are unreasonable or unduly burdensome (such as requests that are repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be impractical to satisfy).

 

Deactivating Your Account. You may deactivate your account with us at any time by making the appropriate selections and contacting us at info@popfitness.ca. If you deactivate your account and later wish to reactivate it and again purchase programs or plans from us, you will have to create a new account.

Deleting Your Personal Information.  Again, you can request that we delete your personal information at any time by contacting us at info@popfitness.ca and we will follow through on your request unless we are required to keep your information by law or for legitimate business purposes.  Please note that any information we receive through Google Analytics is deleted twenty-six months after we receive the information.

7. Security and Storage

We do not store your personal information on our own servers but, instead, use third parties, who take commercially reasonable steps to safeguard and deter unauthorized access to your information. In this regard, access to this information is authorized only for those who have a business need for such access.
