1. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Studio Pilates International recognises that your privacy is very important to you and that you have a right to control your personal information. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that trust seriously.

Unless you give us explicit consent to act otherwise, the following policy will govern how Studio Pilates International handles your personal information and safeguards your privacy. By applying for and using Studio Pilates International products and services, you consent to Studio Pilates International using your personal information as set out in this Privacy Policy.

1.1 What does “personal information” mean?

Personal information is any information about you that identifies you or by which your identity may be reasonably determined. By collecting this personal information we are able to:

Contact you when and where necessary;

Ensure that you attain the best possible service; and

Identify you and protect you from any unauthorised access to your personal information.

 

If you choose not to provide personal information to us, we may not be able to provide you with access to parts of the website or to certain content, products and services available on or from our website or in our studios.

(b) Automatic information

Studio Pilates International may record anonymous information which tells us about visitors to our website but not the identity of those visitors.

8. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR COVID-19 RELATED INFORMATION

 

In an effort to keep the Studio Pilates International community safe in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are collecting additional information from our clients, employees, and guests in countries and states where the law to do so applies. Our transparency is key to maintaining your trust, and during these unprecedented times, we are especially mindful of striking the right balance between ensuring your health and safety and respecting your privacy.

 

As the current circumstances and the needs of our community evolve, this Privacy Notice may be modified or updated, and effective immediately upon posting. Please review this Privacy Notice periodically to ensure you are aware of any changes.

 

What Information We’re Collecting

 

We may collect certain information about your potential exposure to COVID-19 and health through periodic health declarations or questionnaires we ask you to complete. We may also collect measurements of your body temperature when you are at a studio. We will not record or store your body temperature measurement, but if your body temperature registers higher than our permitted threshold for studio access, we reserve the right to record and indicate in our system that you were denied entrance and are not eligible to return for three days. In addition, we may collect information provided by you, or a public health authority or other government agency, if you test positive for COVID-19, including information about how you interacted with Studio Pilates during the time in which you may have been infected with COVID-19. All of the foregoing is referred to in this Privacy Notice as “Screening Information”.

 

What We’re Doing with Screening Information

 

We collect and use Screening Information to help provide a safe environment for our employees and clients. We will not use your Screening Information for any marketing or promotional purposes.

 

How We May Share Screening Information

 

While we generally will not share your Screening Information without your consent, we reserve the right to disclose this information, and other related information, to government and regulatory authorities, such as state health authorities, in support of public health or safety. If we are notified that you tested positive for COVID-19 within 14 days after your last visit to Studio Pilates, or if we otherwise determine that you may pose a risk to our community, we reserve the right to disclose to our employees and clients that an individual who tested positive, or otherwise poses a risk to our community, was in our facilities and while we will not disclose your name unless legally required to do so, we may disclose information such as the date and time of your visit, and studio areas and amenities you used.

 

How We Retain Screening Information

 

Your Screening Information will be protected as described in our Privacy Policy below, and will be retained only as long as we determine reasonably necessary to ensure the health and safety for our clients, employees, and studio visitors and in accordance with applicable law. As noted above, your body temperature measurement will not be stored unless required by applicable law, but we will retain your acknowledgements of the health declaration, as well as any records (if any) that you were denied entrance and not permitted to return for three days. Any information that we retain will be stored for a reasonable period of time, including as we determine necessary to comply with applicable law or to establish or defend our legal rights.

 

Your Options

 

At this time, Studio Pilates requires you to provide Screening Information as a condition of entry to its studios in several states and countries. However, if you are uncomfortable with providing any requested Screening Information or do not wish to consent to this Privacy Notice, we are happy to place your membership on a complimentary freeze during the period in which Screening Information is required. Please contact your local studio if you have any questions regarding our screening procedures.
