• What Personal Data do we collect (including by automated means)?
  We may ask for and collect your Personal Data (either directly through your use of the Platform or when you communicate with us in any other way, or indirectly through our third party partners or providers) in a number of ways to provide you with the products or services that you request – please refer to Section 3 below for more information on how we use your Personal Data. We may also collect information from you automatically when you visit our Platform – for more information, please refer to our Cookie Policy available at the following webpage: www.sweat.com/pages/cookie-policy.
  "Personal Data" has the meaning given in the Data Privacy Law applicable to you, and includes any information or opinion relating to you which allows us to identify you, such as your name, phone number, social media name or ‘handle’, postal address, email address, details of products or services you have purchased, payment details and information about your access to our Websites.
  Specifically, we may (either directly or indirectly) collect the following categories of Personal Data:

  • first and last names, email address and date of birth (this is mandatory information which we require when opening a user account on the Platform ("User Account"));

  • other information such as country of residence and gender, home address and telephone number;

  • health information (as described further below) including health information generated by the devices (e.g. smart watches, heart monitors) that you connect to the Sweat App;

  • fitness/lifestyle activity data provided by you on the Platform or generated through your use of the Sweat App (e.g. workouts completed, duration), including activity data generated by the devices (e.g. smart watches, heart monitors) that you connect to the Sweat App;

  • information you provide about yourself and any preferences in your User Account;

  • information about yourself which you choose to post or share in the Forum;

  • information you provide about yourself which you choose to share with us via a free text field, for example, when completing workout reviews, giving feedback to us about your experience in the Platform, completing member surveys, etc.;

  • information about your purchases of products and services from us or our third party partners who may provide or promote their own products or services through the Platform;

  • payment information, such as your transaction details, if you purchase something directly on the Sweat Platform or from our e-commerce providers (e.g. one of Kayla’s e-books). Note we do not receive or store payment information for your Sweat membership itself;

  • information about your use of the Platform;

  • communications with us or directed to us via letters, emails, chat services, calls, and social media;

  • where you have selected particular services or features on the Platform (e.g. scheduling your workouts, sharing your fitness activities with friends through social media platforms), your photos, audio, contacts and calendar information, as well as your social network information (including credentials and any information from your public posts about Sweat or your communications with us);

  • when you have sent a referral link to a friend, colleague, or family member or been referred to Sweat by a friend, we may be able to identify the identity of the person who referred you or who you referred;

  • any information you share in a social media post where you tag, use a hashtag, link, or otherwise direct the post to our attention;

  • when you have elected to sign up and log into the Platform using a third-party account you created (e.g. through Facebook or Apple), information you have agreed to make available to us (e.g. name, email address, profile information, preferences);

  • your location where the IP address of your computer or device is used to determine your geographic location so that we can customise your experience on the Platform (e.g. language settings); and
    
    Internet or other similar network activity depending on your permissions. For example, browsing identifiers, advertising ID, cookie identifiers, information on your interaction with the website, or advertisement.

Health and Sensitive Information – Users may choose to enter health information into the Sweat App, like their height or weight, or, in specific circumstances designed to protect the user, whether they are pregnant. If users choose to participate in a pregnancy-related survey or workout program, they may also provide sensitive information about their health and pregnancy.  

Some of the Platform’s functionalities (e.g. free text fields) may allow a User to enter information the User wants to share with Sweat that could be of a sensitive nature. These free text fields may appear completing workout reviews, submitting feedback on your experience of the Platform, or when completing customer surveys. Users may also choose to share potentially sensitive information when interacting with our support team.

Sweat may use or otherwise infer information about your health, including information about your medical conditions or requirements, as well as data on your physical characteristics from this information.

For users in jurisdictions that require it Sweat requires explicit consent from users before they can add their health data (like height and weight) into the App or otherwise submit sensitive information to Sweat. Users may always withdraw your consent to the processing of your sensitive information. 

You can withdraw your consent for the processing of health data you entered into the App at any time within the Profile Menu in the Sweat App or by contacting us using the contact information in Section 11 below. If you provided Sweat with consent to process any other sensitive information, or you’re unsure about how to withdraw consent or about what information you did provide, please contact us using the contact information in Section 11, below. Withdrawing consent will not prohibit you from using the Sweat App, but please note some functionality across the Platform, like tracking weight loss progress, could be disabled or may not function properly.

Linked Devices – Users may choose to connect a third-party device (like an Apple Watch or fitness tracker) and enable that device to share your fitness activity or health information (e.g., heart rate, steps, water intake) it collects with Sweat. You can manage what data your device shares with Sweat at any time within the Apple Health or Google Fit application on your device. 

• To learn more about how you can manage what data your Apple device shares with Sweat, please refer to this page. 

• To learn more about how you can manage what data your Android device shares with Sweat, please refer to this page.

• Why and how do we use your Personal Data?
  Your Personal Data may be used for the following purposes:

3.1 Provide features of the Platform and the products and services you request:

We use the Personal Data you give us to provide the Platform and the products and services you request, including:

• to create and set up your User Account;

• to fulfil any orders for products that you place on the Platform, including to communicate with you about the orders and to process information for our internal accounting, billing and audit purposes;

• if you use the Platform to track your fitness activity, we will collect and store this information so that you can review it on the Platform and track your progress. We may also use this information to calculate further information about your activity so that this can be provided to you as part of the functionality of the Platform;

• if you choose to post in the Forum, the information that you share will be public information that can be accessed by anyone whether or not they are a part of the Sweat community. As the information posted to the Forum is public information, it will also be indexed and accessible via third party internet search engines, websites and apps. For further information about how content posted in the Forum is publicly available, please refer to our Forum Community Guidelines; or
• to offer you personalized workout recommendations based on your previous interactions with the Platform.

3.2 Communicate information about our products and services and for other promotional purposes:

With your consent, or as otherwise permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law, we will use your Personal Data to provide information and recommendations that we believe is of interest to you, prior to, during, and after your interactions with us, including marketing communications and news concerning our products, services, events and other promotions. You can opt-out at any time after you have given your consent to such communications. In providing tailored promotional materials to you, Sweat may use the personal information collected through your use of the Platform, such as the user preferences you set and profile data you submit, any fitness activity data generated through your use of the Platform, and any medical conditions or dietary preferences that you have identified to us.

3.3 Customer service communications:

We use your data to manage our relationship with you as our customer and to improve our services and enhance your experience with us (e.g. to respond to your inquiries when you reach out to us). From time to time, we may also conduct customer surveys to gauge satisfaction with our Platform and the services and products that we provide.

3.4 Administrative or legal purposes:

We use your Personal Data to operate our business, including for statistical and marketing analysis, systems testing and to diagnose technical and service problems, maintenance and development of our Platform, or in order to deal with a dispute or claim. We may also perform data analysis based on the data we collect from you for statistical and marketing analysis purposes – for example, we may use information about how users of our Platform search for and find specific workouts to better understand the best ways to organise and present the content that we offer.

3.5 Security, health, administrative, crime prevention/detection and legal purposes:

We may use your Personal Data to verify your information and identity, and to protect against, identify and prevent fraud and other unlawful activities. We may also share your Personal Data with government authorities or enforcement bodies for compliance with legal requirements, or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law.

3.6 Other purposes:

We may also use your Personal Data in other ways, and where we do so, we will provide specific notice at the time of collection and obtain your consent unless otherwise permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law.

We will only process your personal data where we have a legal basis to do so, which will depend on the reasons for which we have collected and need to use your personal data. In most cases we will need to process your personal data so that we can enter into contracts with you under our terms of use (when orders for products are made), and to fulfil the provision or delivery of goods or services to you on the Platform (including subscriptions to the Platform).

Our processing of your Personal Data for the above purposes is done pursuant to the following legal basis:

• to comply with a legal obligation;

• the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, such as providing you with our services on the Platform;

• if it is in our legitimate interests to do so as a business (e.g., for administrative purposes or to improve the functionality of our Platform);

• where you have consented to our using your personal data (e.g., for the collection of data pertaining to your health status, pregnancy, or marketing related uses);

• where you have made such information public; and

• to protect your vital interests or those of another person (e.g. in case of a medical emergency).

Where we receive your Personal Data as part of providing our services to you based on a contract, we require such Personal Data to be able to carry out the contract. Without that necessary Personal Data, we will not be able to provide our services to you.

Personal details including about your nationality or physical or mental health are considered “sensitive” Personal Data under applicable Data Privacy Law. We will process any such data only if you have given your explicit consent, or it is necessary (for instance, if you request special assistance), or if the sensitive Personal Data has been manifestly made public by you (e.g., by posting information about your health/fitness status in the Sweat Forum), or otherwise in compliance with applicable Data Privacy Law.

The Platform may require information about your physical health to provide certain functions or services, including when you use or interact with a Linked Device that integrates with the Platform. If you choose not to provide certain health information, some functions or services within the Platform may be unavailable or not function properly.

You may withdraw your consent for Sweat’s processing of your health information in the Profile Menu in the Sweat App at any time. To manage what data your Linked Device shares with Sweat, please refer to the instructions in Section 2 above. As described more fully below, you may always contact us at the details in Section 11 with any questions or requests about your Personal Data.

• How do we protect and manage your Personal Data (including international transfers and retention periods)?

4.1 Encryption and security

We follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your Personal Data, which are designed to protect it against misuse, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure and accidental loss, destruction or damage. The data you provide to us is protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. SSL is the industry standard method of encrypting Personal Data and credit card details so that they can be securely transferred over the internet.

4.2 International transfers of your Personal Data

Sweat operates businesses in multiple jurisdictions, some of which are not located in the EU, EEA, or the UK). The Personal Data that Sweat collects from users will be stored in Australia and/or the United States of America and might also be shared with third party data recipients (e.g., e-commerce and logistics providers such as Shopify, and customer support providers such as Zendesk) that are not located in the EEA, UK, Australia or the United States of America. Therefore, the Personal Data that you provide to Sweat may be transferred internationally to countries other than the country in which you initially provided your data.

While countries outside the EU, EEA and the UK do not always have strong data privacy laws, we take measures to protect your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy and in compliance with applicable Data Privacy Law. We also require all third party data recipients (including our service providers) to process your information in a secure manner and in accordance with the GDPR and other applicable Data Privacy Law (e.g., through the signing of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses). If you have further questions about this or would like to request to view copies of the applicable safeguards (where required), please contact us at the details in Section 11 below.

4.3 Retention of your Personal Data

We will not retain your data for longer than is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it is being processed. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the purposes for which we process it, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

We also consider the periods for which we might need to retain personal data in order to meet our legal obligations, or to deal with complaints and queries, and to protect our legal rights in the event of a claim being made.

In general, this means that we will likely keep your Personal Data for as long as your User Account is open. Following closure of your User Account, however, we may still retain a limited portion of your Personal Data so that we can maintain a continuous relationship with you if and when we are in contact with you again, and to comply with our internal processes and any legal obligations.

When we no longer need your personal data, we will securely delete or destroy it. We will also consider if and how we can minimise over time the personal data that we use, and if we can fully anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you or identify you, in which case we may use that information without further notice to you.

Information that you have shared in the Forum will remain public even after you have closed your Forum account. Where you choose to delete content that you have posted to the Forum, the information will not be deleted from third party websites, apps or internet search engine indexes instantly as removal of the content depends on third party policies.

If you choose to purchase our digital products offered from these e-commerce providers, you may be a customer of both Sweat and the provider, and  the provider may collect and share information about you, such as your contact details and your billing information. We are not responsible for third parties’ use of your personal data where such use is permitted for their own purposes. You should consult their privacy policies for further information;

  • if you joined Sweat via a referral link sent to you by one of your contacts (like a friend, family member, or colleague), we may let that contact know you’ve created a Sweat account, and provide them a referral bonus as a result;

  • third party social media platforms in various circumstances, including where:

    • you are able to access third party social media services through our Platform or before coming to our Platform;

    • you connect your User Account to your social media account, in which case we will receive from the social media platform the Personal Data you choose to share, based on the preferences and settings on your social media account.

    • you post or otherwise participate in competitions, events, or direct your social media posts to us via a hashtag, tag, link, etc.; and

    • we use social media plugins on our Platform (e.g., a “share” or “like” button), and your use of these plugins, may result in the disclosure of certain of your information to the social media platform in question, and possibly presented on your social media profile, to be shared with others in your network – however, we will only share your Personal Data with these social media platforms if you have provided your express consent for us to do so.

  • Please refer to the privacy policy of those third-party social media platforms to find out more about these practices;

  • other companies, contractors or agents that assist us in providing services to you, including our online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell and deliver our products and services to you (which may include Shopify), support ticketing (which may include Zendesk), legal services, debt collection, administration services, customer services and information technology support;

  • our legal and other professional advisers in order to enforce our legal rights in relation to our contract with you; and

  • Where you choose to post information in the Forum, the information that you share will be public information which can be viewed by anyone (whether or not they are a part of our community). Information posted in the Forum will be indexed to third party internet search engines (such as Google), websites and apps. For further information about how information posted in the Forum is used, please refer to our Forum Community Guidelines.

  • We may also transfer your Personal Data to potential buyers in the event that we sell or transfer all of a part of our business or assets (including in the event of a reorganization or dissolution / liquidation), under strict non-disclosure restrictions, and solely in order to allow a buyer to determine whether to proceed with the transaction, or where such a determination is made, to complete it.

• Your Rights and Choices
  Under certain circumstances, by applicable Data Privacy Law you may have the right to:

6.1 Transparency

You have the right to request information about whether we hold Personal Data about you, and, if so, what that information is and why we are holding/using it.

6.2 Access

You may request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

6.3 Correction

You have the right to request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

6.4 Erasure

You can request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have exercised your right to object to processing.

6.5 Object

You may object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.

6.6 Automated Decision Making and Profiling

You may also object to automated decision-making including profiling, that is not to be subject of any automated decision-making by us using your Personal Data or profiling of you.

6.7 Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of Personal Data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

6.8 Transfer

Request transfer of your Personal Data in an electronic and structured form to you or to another party (commonly known as a right to “data portability”). This enables you to take your data from us in an electronically useable format and to be able to transfer your data to another party in an electronically useable format.

6.9 Withdraw consent

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your Personal Data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time by contacting us using the details in Section 11 below. You can also withdraw your consent for the processing of your health information within the Profile Menu of the Sweat App. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes to which you originally agreed, unless we have another proper and legitimate basis for doing so.

If you wish to exercise your rights related to your Personal Data (including the rights set out above), please contact the Sweat team using the details in Section 11.

While you will generally not be required to pay a fee to access your Personal Data or to exercise any of your other statutory rights, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly completely unfounded, excessive or decline to comply with such requests where permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it and to prevent unauthorised modification of your Personal Data.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing of your Personal Data with the body regulating data protection in the country or state / province in which you live. If the GDPR applies to our processing of your Personal Data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you are not satisfied with how we process your Personal Data. Specifically, you can lodge a complaint in the Member State of the European Union of your habitual residence, place of work, or of the alleged violation of the GDPR.

• We will only process your personal data where required to operate the Platform, provide you with products and services, and to operate our business, including for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. In most cases, we will need to process your personal data so that we can enter into contracts under our terms of use (when orders for products are made), and to fulfil the provision or delivery of goods or services to you on the Platform (including subscriptions to the Platform).

• In addition to the purposes set out elsewhere in the policy, Sweat may collect, use and disclose your Personal Data for marketing and analytics purposes, including to display targeted advertising, based on your interests as inferred from web activity, when you visit other sites around the web or as you use various social media platforms.

• Section 4.2 (International transfers of your Personal Data) is replaced with the following: "Sweat operates businesses in multiple jurisdictions, some of which are not located in your country of residence. The Personal Data that Sweat collects from users will be stored in Australia and/or the United States of America and might also be stored or processed through third party service providers (e.g., e-commerce and logistics providers such as Shopify, and customer support providers such as Zendesk) in other countries.

CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The provisions in this Section are intended to fulfil the requirements of the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act and its implementing regulations ("CCPA") and shall apply to Users who are resident in California.

To the extent that any terms used in this Privacy Policy and this Section of the Additional Terms are defined in the CCPA, such definitions shall apply. The term "Personal Data" as used in this Privacy Policy and this Section of the Additional Terms shall include "Personal Information" as such term is defined in the CCPA.

The categories of Personal Data collected by Sweat in the last 12 months are described in Section 2 of the Privacy Policy and, for the purposes of the CCPA, correspond to the following categories of Personal Information listed in the CCPA:

The categories of third parties with whom Sweat shares each category of personal data are as follows:

We may also disclose your Personal Data to government authorities, law enforcement bodies and regulators for compliance with legal requirements, or where otherwise required by applicable Data Privacy Law and to our legal and other professional advisers in order to enforce our legal rights in relation to our contract with you.

Sweat processes each category of your Personal Data described above for purposes described in Section 3 of the Privacy Policy. We will not process your Personal Data for purposes which are materially different, unrelated, or incompatible with the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy without providing you notice.

In the last 12 months, we have disclosed to third parties all of the categories of Personal Data listed in the table above for a business purpose.

“Sale” or "Sharing" of Data:

Sweat generally does not sell your Personal Information in the conventional sense (i.e., for money). Like many companies, however, we use services of third-party vendors and partners that help deliver interest-based ads to you. As part of this process, we may transfer Personal Information to those vendors and partners (like Facebook, Snap, or TikTok) for their use as they help us deliver interest-based ads. We and these vendors and partners may collect certain information, including information obtained with cookies and similar information stored on your browsers, advertising identifiers on your mobile devices, and/or the IP address of your devices when you visit our sites or use our app. Making Personal Information (such as online identifiers or browsing activity) available to these vendors and partners to use outside of Sweat’s direction may be considered as "selling" or "sharing" Personal Information under the CCPA. There are also instances where Sweat could be “selling” Personal Information under the CCPA, such as when Sweat engages in partnerships with other organizations to offer discounts for each other’s products and services to our users.

To request that Sweat not "sell" or "share" your Personal Information, please fill out the form at this link: https://join.sweat.com/en/do-not-sell-my-information. 

California Consumer Rights:

Users who are resident in California may have the following rights under the CCPA in addition to the rights set out in Section 6 of the Privacy Policy:

• The Right to “Opt Out” 

You have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). As described above, Sweat doesn’t sell any of your information in the conventional sense. However, Sweat may provide information about you to third party advertising partners (like Facebook or TikTok), and this may constitute a “sale” under the CCPA.  To exercise the right to opt-out of this kind of information transfer, you (or your authorized agent) may submit a request to us by completing the webform at this link https://join.sweat.com/en/do-not-sell-my-information. If you change your mind, you can opt in as described below. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

• The Right to “Opt In” 

If you change your mind about opting out of the “sale” of your data and would like Sweat to resume providing your information to these advertising partners, you may contact us at dataprivacy@sweat.com at any time. 

• Access:
  Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose the following to you:

  • the categories of your Personal Data and the specific Personal Data that we have collected;

  • the categories of sources from which your Personal Data was collected;

  • our business or commercial purpose for collecting your Personal Data; and the categories of third parties with whom we share your Personal Data, and where such third parties received your Personal Data from us for a business purpose, the categories of your Personal Data that we disclosed to such third parties.

  • Under the CCPA, you are only entitled to exercise the Personal Data access right twice a year.

• Deletion:
  Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will (and will direct our service providers to whom we have disclosed your Personal Data to) delete your Personal Data unless an exception under the CCPA applies.
  The rights set out above do not apply to Personal Data collected from Sweat's employees as part of their employment with Sweat or Personal Data collected as part of a business-to-business transaction.
  To exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact the Sweat team using the contact details set in Section 11 of the Privacy Policy.
  Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Data. As set out in Section 6 of the Privacy Policy, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm that your request is a verifiable consumer request.

• Anti-retaliation/Anti-discrimination:
  Sweat will not discriminate or retaliate against you if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.

• Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
  If you have disclosed sensitive personal information to Sweat, like the status of a pregnancy, you have the right, at any time, to direct Sweat to limit its use of your sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services and access to the Platform. You may also request Sweat delete this information at any time
  To request that Sweat limit use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information, delete this information, or otherwise exercise control over Sweat’s use of this data, please contact us at dataprivacy@sweat.com.

• Exercising your rights under the CCPA:
  Verification of your identity to respond to your request to know and delete
  To evaluate your request to know or delete, we may request additional information to verify your identity. We will only use the Personal Data you provide us in a request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
  Please note that you may only make a consumer request to know or data portability request twice within a 12-month period.

• Section 6 of the Privacy Policy is supplemented as follows:
  Response Timing and Format of Our Responses
  If we need to charge a fee for a request which is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded, we will explain why we made that determination and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
  We will reply to all requests within 30 days, or inform you in writing if additional time is required. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will send our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
  If we cannot satisfy your request, we will also explain why in our response.
  Authorized Agent
  You may appoint an authorized agent to exercise any of your privacy rights on your behalf, if the authorized agent is a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State of California.
  To appoint an authorized agent, you must also sign a written declaration giving the authorized agent permission to act on your behalf, or you can appoint such agent via a power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465.
  To verify that your authorized agent acts on your behalf, we will ask for this written permission from your agent or for the power of attorney. In case you provided your authorized agent with a written permission, we will require that you also verify your identity and we may also ask you to directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
  We will deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.
  We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA. Specifically, unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • deny you access to goods and/or services provided by us on the Platform;

  • charge you different prices or rates for the goods and/or services provided by us on the Platform, or imposing penalties on you;

  • provide you with a different level or quality of goods and/or services than otherwise generally provided by us on the Platform; or

  • suggest that you will receive a different price or rate for, or a different level or quality of, the goods and/or services generally provided by us on the Platform.
