Privacy Policy

We're serious about keeping your info safe while you're out here crushing goals and building your legend.

Overview

Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But here's the deal: at Pyrethorn Odyssey Fitness, we're not about playing games with your personal info. You're trusting us to help you forge your legend, and that trust extends to how we handle your data.

This policy lays out exactly what information we collect when you train with us, sign up for our programs, or just browse our site. We're keeping it real and straightforward because you deserve to know what happens with your data.

We follow all Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA for those who care about acronyms), and we're committed to protecting your information like we protect our members during obstacle course runs - with serious attention and care.

Information We Collect

Personal Identification Stuff

When you join our fitness family or book a session, we'll need some basics:

  • Your name (first and last - pretty standard)
  • Email address (so we can send you workout updates, not spam)
  • Phone number (for appointment reminders and emergency contacts)
  • Mailing address (billing and occasional mail-outs)
  • Date of birth (age verification and birthday workout specials!)
Health & Fitness Data

Because we're all about functional fitness and helping you crush your goals, we collect:

  • Medical history and current health conditions (we need to know if you've got any injuries or limitations)
  • Fitness assessments and progress tracking data
  • Training preferences and goals (whether you're into obstacle courses or just building endurance)
  • Nutrition info if you're working with our performance consultants
  • Emergency contact details (just in case things get too epic)
Payment Information

When you're signing up for memberships or sessions:

  • Credit card or payment details (processed securely through our payment processors)
  • Billing address
  • Transaction history
Technical Data

Like most websites, we automatically collect some tech stuff when you visit:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device information
  • Pages you visit and how long you hang around
  • Referring website (how you found us)

How We Use Your Information

We're not collecting your data just to hoard it like dragon treasure. Here's what we actually do with it:

Provide Our Services

Creating your member profile, scheduling your training sessions, tracking your progress, and making sure your workouts are safe and effective for your specific needs.

Communication

Sending you class schedules, appointment reminders, updates about new programs, and occasional newsletters about what's happening at the gym. You can opt out of the marketing stuff anytime.

Improve Our Programs

Analyzing what's working and what's not so we can keep making our training programs more effective. Your feedback and progress data helps us design better obstacle courses and functional training routines.

Safety & Compliance

Keeping records for insurance purposes, responding to emergencies, and making sure we're following all the legal requirements for operating a fitness facility in BC.

Payment Processing

Handling your membership fees, session payments, and any refunds or billing questions.

Information Sharing & Disclosure

We're not in the business of selling your data to random companies. Here's the honest breakdown of when we might share your information:

Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party companies that help us run the gym - payment processors, scheduling software, email services, and our website hosting. These folks only get access to what they need to do their job, and they're contractually required to keep your data secure.

Legal Requirements

If the law requires it or if we need to protect someone's safety, we might have to disclose information to law enforcement, regulatory agencies, or in response to valid legal requests.

Business Transfers

If Pyrethorn Odyssey Fitness ever gets acquired or merges with another company (not planning on it, but you never know), your information would transfer to the new owners. We'd let you know if this happens.

With Your Consent

If you give us permission to share your info for specific purposes - like featuring your transformation story on social media or sharing your progress with a referred trainer - we'll only do it with your explicit okay.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Yeah, we use cookies - and no, not the protein ball kind (though we wish). Web cookies are tiny files that help our website remember you and work better.

Essential Cookies

These are the ones that keep the site functioning - things like remembering you're logged in or what's in your cart. Can't really turn these off without breaking stuff.

Analytics Cookies

We use tools like Google Analytics to see how people use our site - which pages are popular, where folks are clicking, that kind of thing. Helps us make the website better. The data is anonymized, so we're not creeping on individual browsing habits.

Marketing Cookies

These help us show you relevant ads if you've visited our site before. You can disable these through your browser settings if they bug you.

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. Check your browser's help section to learn how to block or delete cookies. Just heads up - disabling some cookies might make parts of our site not work as smoothly.

Data Security

We take protecting your data as seriously as we take proper form on deadlifts. Here's what we're doing to keep your information secure:

  • Encryption: We use SSL/TLS encryption for data transmitted between your browser and our servers. That's the little lock icon you see in your address bar.
  • Secure Storage: Your data is stored on secure servers with restricted access. Only authorized staff can access member information, and only when necessary.
  • Payment Security: We don't store full credit card numbers. Payments are processed through PCI-compliant payment processors that specialize in secure transactions.
  • Regular Updates: We keep our systems and software updated with the latest security patches.
  • Staff Training: Our team is trained on privacy practices and data handling procedures.
  • Access Controls: We use passwords, authentication systems, and physical security measures to protect against unauthorized access.

That said, no system is 100% bulletproof. While we're doing everything reasonable to protect your data, we can't guarantee absolute security. If we ever experience a data breach that affects your information, we'll notify you promptly as required by Canadian law.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Canadian privacy law, you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal information. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Data

You can request to see what personal information we have about you. Just shoot us an email and we'll provide you with a copy.

Correct Your Data

If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it. You can update most stuff yourself through your member portal too.

Delete Your Data

Want us to delete your information? We'll do it, though we might need to keep some records for legal or legitimate business reasons (like tax records or to resolve disputes).

Opt-Out of Marketing

Not interested in our newsletters or promotional emails? Click the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or let us know directly. You'll still get important account-related communications.

Data Portability

You can request a copy of your data in a commonly used format if you want to transfer it somewhere else.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@pyrethornodyssey.info or call (604) 555-8742. We'll respond within a reasonable timeframe (usually within 30 days).

Children's Privacy

Our services are primarily designed for adults aged 18 and over. If you're under 18 and want to join our programs, you'll need a parent or legal guardian to sign up on your behalf.

We don't knowingly collect personal information from kids under 13 through our website. If we find out we've accidentally collected data from a child under 13 without proper parental consent, we'll delete it as quickly as possible.

Parents or guardians who sign up their teens for our programs maintain control over their child's account and can access, modify, or delete their information at any time.

Policy Updates

We might update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements.
