Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions

Welcome to the www.gymlink.com.au and www.gymlink.co.nz websites! We want www.gymlink.com.au and www.gymlink.co.nz to be your source for health, fitness and wellbeing information, products, services and tools. We know that your privacy is important to you, so your privacy as you use our site is very important to us. This Privacy Policy describes what information we gather from you, how we use that information, and what we do to protect it. We hope that this privacy policy is straightforward and clear; however, if you have any questions about it, please e-mail enquiries@gymlink.com.au

Personally Identifiable Information

To take advantage of any ‘Free Pass’ or ‘Special Offer’ available from www.gymlink.com.au or www.gymlink.co.nz registered businesses, we ask you to register with our site by way of application, and provide details including your name and residential and e-mail addresses. This Registration Information is personally identifiable information because it allows us to contact you and distinguish you from other users.

You may also buy a range of health and fitness related products on our site. If you make purchases through www.gymlink.com.au or www.gymlink.co.nz, we need to gather information relating to the sale, including what you are buying, how you are paying, and where you would like the products shipped. However, we will use that Transactional Information only to complete the transaction, to provide you with an order history and to facilitate future orders. We may also use information about the transaction for aggregate reporting (where we summarise the data in a report that does not contain your personally identifiable information).

We may receive additional personally identifiable information from you through communications with www.gymlink.com.au or www.gymlink.co.nz. If so, we will use that information to fulfil your request and for aggregate reporting before deleting it from our active system. For example, if you e-mail www.gymlink.com.au to ask about an article or section or service, we will use that information to give you an answer, to make sure that you are satisfied with our answer, to have a history of our service to you and to make our service better by reporting your request, without any personally identifying information, in our customer service totals.

‘Free Pass’ and ‘Special Offer’ Application Download Process

Upon application for a ‘Free Pass’ or ‘Special Offer’, all Terms and Conditions applying to an individual registered business, as printed on the application receipt (the certificate which follows the application process displayed on screen for you to print as a copy ), must be adhered to. www.gymlink.com.au and www.gymlink.co.nz also request that you decide to opt-in or opt-out to receiving the monthly Healthy Lifestyle Newsletter during the application process as described above. A ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer must be chosen to complete the application process and gain receipt, by way of the certificate, as described above. ‘Yes’ means you have opted in to receive the monthly Healthy Lifestyle Newsletter and ‘No’ means you have opted out of receiving the monthly Healthy Lifestyle Newsletter. Confirmation of reading these Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions is also a mandatory request before completion of the application process, as described above. Failure to confirm you have viewed the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions will terminate your application for a ‘Free Pass’ or ‘Special Offer’.

We may need to share your personally identifiable information with these companies. However, we will provide them with only the information necessary to perform their functions, and will not allow them to use that information for any other purposes.

In the interest of enhancing our service, we form partnerships with other web-based services. Some of these partnerships include the sharing of some of your personal information with our partners in order to extend these services to you. We require that our partners respect your privacy and not disclose your information to other organisations without your consent, but beyond that, our partners’ use of your information is governed by their privacy policies.

We may reveal user information if we believe that user is harming or interfering with other www.gymlink.com.au or www.gymlink.co.nz users, anyone else, or violating (either intentionally or unintentionally) our User Agreement, or infringing any of www.gymlink.com.au or www.gymlink.co.nz rights, or trespassing on, damaging, or abusing any of www.gymlink.com.au or www.gymlink.co.nz properties.
