Our Commitment to Privacy
Our Website Privacy Policy has been developed as an extension of our commitment to combine quality products and services with integrity in dealing with users. The Website Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in the understanding of how we collect, use and protect the personal information provided to us.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our site, we collect two types of information: personal information you actively choose to disclose (“Active Information”) and Use information collected, in a way not visible to you, on an aggregate anonymous basis as you and other users browse our site (“Passive Information”).
Personally Identifiable Information
This refers to information that lets us know specifically about you i.e. profile information.
Registration
When you register to become a CUSTOMER or BRAND PARTNER of FITTEAM Canada, we will collect personally identifiable information (such as name, address, email address, and telephone number) (“Personally Identifiable Information”). This Personally Identifiable Information is securely stored and may be accessed on our website. You are assigned an identification number and select your own password – both are needed to enter the Site and to access your Contact Information. Please safeguard your password in a secure location as we are not responsible for breaches into the system when access is willingly provided.
Ordering
When you place an order for products or services, we collect Personally Identifiable Information (such as name, contact and billing information, credit card, and other transactional information). We use this information to deliver your order, process payment, and to communicate the status of your order.
Credit Card Storage
Credit card information collected at registration or for product orders is used only to process payment for the transaction and, is not retained on our Site. However, you may voluntarily elect to securely store multiple credit cards to be used for product orders, and this information is strictly protected as part of our Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance.
Surveys and Promotions
Occasionally, you may voluntarily provide Personally Identifiable Information to complete surveys and questionnaires or to participate in user polls. We use this information to improve our products and services and to ensure that we’re providing accurate disclosures. We may also use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide you newsletters and other marketing information that coincide with your preferences. You may customize your marketing preferences, or let us know if you do not wish to receive any promotional materials, by adjusting your Subscriptions & Email options on the Site.
Aggregate Information
This refers to information that does not, by itself, identify you as a specific individual. Such information would include the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website that referred you to our Site, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the web), your operating system and browser type, and any search terms that you enter on our Site. Our web server aggregates this information in order to monitor the level of activity on our Site, evaluate its effectiveness, and improve the content or our Site in order to make your visit an easy and enjoyable experience.
We may collect, compile, store, publish, promote, report, or otherwise disclose or use any Aggregate Information, provided that such information does not personally identify you. We do not correlate any Personally Identifiable Information with the Aggregate Information that we collect on our Site. If we do correlate any Aggregate Information to you, it will be protected like any other Personally Identifiable Information under this Website Privacy Policy.
Active Information You Choose to Provide
In order to gain full use of the site to purchase products, or to use of the CUSTOMER OR BRAND PARTNER site (become a “user”), we require you to disclose the following information: Name, Address and Phone Number
