WHO CONTROLS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Any personal information provided to or gathered by The Brick Gym is controlled by The Brick Gym, 6775 Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort Worth, TX 76116 UNITED STATES

WHAT INFORMATION DOES The Brick Gym COLLECT FROM ME?

The amount and type of information we gather depends upon your use of the Website and, in some cases, what type of information you choose to disclose. We may collect the following information from you:

PERSONAL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY YOU

We collect information from you when you voluntarily register with The Brick Gym and/or submit your personal information to us over the Website. Such personal information may include your name, email and postal addresses, phone number, gender, age, health and fitness information, product and/or membership plans purchased, any account number assigned to you by The Brick Gym, any customer identification number assigned to you by our payment processor, and other information which you voluntarily provide to us.

This Privacy Policy specifically applies to information collected from you over the Website; however, there are a number of circumstances of the Website and “in real life” where you may provide personal information to us as well, such as:

When you enter into a written agreement with The Brick Gym, such as a membership agreement;
When you visit our gym, whether as a member or a visitor;
When you participate in personal training services;
When you enroll a child in Kids Club;
When you execute any agreement or waiver with The Brick Gym as the parent or legal guardian of a minor;
When you sign up to receive emails, phone calls, and/or text messages from The Brick Gym regarding your membership and/or promotions and newsletters;
When you engage with The Brick Gym through social media;
When you execute an authorization for The Brick Gym to automatically charge or debit your membership fees;
When you participate in a Corporate Wellness program run by The Brick Gym; and
When you enter a contest or promotion run by The Brick Gym.
The Brick Gym makes no effort to segregate information collected on the Website from that provided by you off-Website or in real life. Accordingly, personal information collected on the Website could be combined with information collected through other avenues.

INFORMATION YOU MAKE PUBLIC

The Website may contain features that allow you to upload, post, transmit, display, perform, or distribute content, including personal information about yourself. For example, you may choose to include personal information within a public-facing review or testimonial, which is available and accessible to all visitors of the Website. Any information that you choose to disclose by means of such features becomes public information over which The Brick Gym is unable to exercise control. You should take caution when deciding to disclose personal information by means of such features.

DEVICE/INTERNET CONNECTION INFORMATION

When you use the Website, we automatically gather information made available by your web browser (such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome), Internet service provider (such as Comcast or Cox), and device (such as your computer, phone, or tablet), depending on your settings for each. For example, we may collect your IP address, information about the operating system or type of device you use, the date and time you access the Website, your log in attempts, and the location of your device.

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES

The Brick Gym may receive information about you and your Internet activities if you have provided it to a Third Party and we subsequently acquire the information from the Third Party. Such information may include but is not limited to, your personal and online interests and Internet browsing habits. These Third Parties may have collected such information by placing Cookies on your device, using web beacons, gathering IP addresses and log data, and so forth. The purpose of this practice, which is sometimes called “retargeting,” is to deliver content and advertising that is specific to your interests. For example, if you look at The Brick Gym membership plans on the Website, you may later see The Brick Gym memberships advertised to you on Facebook. You can better learn about such Third-Party data collection and advertising practices, including how to opt-out of retargeting, at the following websites:

PAYMENT INFORMATION

All payments initiated through the Website are processed by third-party vendors, including Wodify.com, and not The Brick Gym itself. If you make a purchase on the Website, credit card numbers and related information, such as billing address, card number, and the expiration date of the card (“Credit Card Information”) is collected from you, and such information may be sent directly from you to our payment processors through embeddable widgets.

HOW DOES THE BRICK GYM USE COOKIES?

“Cookies” are files that are placed on your device by websites you visit. The purpose of a cookie is to identify you as a unique user of the Website. A web beacon is a programming code that can be used to, among other things, transfer an individual’s unique user identification (often in the form of a Cookie) to a database and associate the individual with previously acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows us to track certain websites you visit online. Web beacons are used to determine products or services you may be interested in, and to track online behavioral habits for marketing purposes.

We currently use Cookie and web beacon technology to associate certain Internet-related information about you with information we already have in our database, for the following purposes:

To Verify You. We use cookies to verify your account and make it so you do not have to reenter your login information each time you use the Website.
To Analyze User Trends, We also use Cookies for analytics and performance—that is, to gather the information that helps us understand how you and other users engage with the Website and our Third-Party partners and figure out how to do it better. The Third-Party analytics vendors we work with include Google Analytics, AdWords, Facebook, etc.
To Provide Support to You. We also use Cookies, including those placed by Third Parties, to provide customer support services.
To Advertise to You. We also use Cookies and web beacons, including those placed by Third Parties, to deliver advertising that may be of interest to you. For example, Google, Facebook, and Bing Cookies may be used to better target and retarget users and potential users of the Website by advertising to them on other sites. We may also use a web beacon in email messages sent to track your response. Cookies and web beacons also help us and our Third-Party advertising partners ensure you do not see the same advertisements over and over and to identify and block unwanted ads.

HOW AND WHERE DOES THE BRICK GYM SECURE MY INFORMATION?

The Brick Gym, and the Third-Party vendors we use to store your information, employ security measures (such as SSL encryption and HTTPS protocol) to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. For payment processing, we use PCI compliant payment processing and cardholder data solutions protected by secure cryptographic protocols and algorithms and hashes. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we cannot promise, and you should not expect, that your personal and commercial information, or other communications, will always remain secure.

The Brick Gym stores personal information in the United States. If you are visiting The Brick Gym.com from a location outside of the United States, your connection will be through and to servers located in the United States, and all information you provide will be processed and securely maintained in our web servers and internal systems located within the United States. By using The Brick Gym.com you authorize and specifically consent to the transfer of personal information to the United States and its storage and use as specified above when you provide such information to us.

HOW DOES THE BRICK GYM PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF CHILDREN?

The Brick Gym will never knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected personal information about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from our database. Because we do not collect such information, we have no such information to use or to disclose to Third Parties. We have designed this policy in order to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

DOES THE BRICK GYM RESPOND TO DO NOT TRACK (DNT) SIGNALS?

DNT is a feature offered by some browsers which, when enabled, sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing is not tracked. The Brick Gym does not currently respond to DNT requests.
