During the My24 online account creation process, you will select a user name and password. If you purchase any products or services through our Digital Properties, we or our payment processors collect your credit card or debit card number and related information, as applicable.

We collect information from you when you purchase a membership and other services from us, including when you use the 24GO mobile app to purchase a membership and/or access other services. If you sign up for a free day pass to our clubs, you will provide us with certain information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, and birthdate.

If you use certain of our mobile applications, we will collect information about any fitness devices that you choose to connect to the application, such as sensors and wearable devices, as well as the activity and other information collected through any such fitness devices. In addition, if you choose to add a third-party fitness data platform to the 24GO mobile application (such as Apple Health, Google Fit, or Fitbit), we will collect information from any such platform. Such information may include, for example, body measurements and activity types and data (e.g., steps, heart rate, distance, speed, sleep). You may revoke your consent to such sharing by accessing the settings for the relevant platform.

If you choose to connect your social media account to your Digital Properties account, certain personal information from your social media account will be shared with us, which may include personal information that is part of your profile or your friends’ profiles. You may revoke your consent to have the social media platform share information with us by changing your settings within such platform.

    2.2 Log Information We Collect from You Automatically. We collect certain information automatically as you use our Digital Properties, including your IP (Internet Protocol) address, browser type, computer type, type of mobile device (if used), the carrier for your mobile device, your computer operating system, the version of the Digital Properties that you access, the site from where you navigated to our Digital Properties, the time and date of using the Digital Properties, whether you are a repeat visitor, how long you use the Digital Properties and the pages that you view. We may derive your approximate location from your IP address.

    2.3 App Usage Data. When you download and use any of our mobile applications, we and our service providers may track and collect app usage data, such as the date and time the app on your device accesses our servers.

    2.4 Cookies. When you visit or use our Digital Properties, we send one or more “cookies” to your computer or other device. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences and other information.

You may opt-out of most cookies through available links on our site and as described in Section 4.2. You can also reset your browser to refuse or restrict most cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies. Cookie based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted-out. You must separately opt out in each browser on each device. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service, including for storing user preferences, tracking user trends and providing relevant advertising to you based on your activities on the Digital Properties and on other websites. At this time, we do not respond to browser 'do not track' signals.

    2.5 Pixel Tags. We may use "pixel tags," which are small graphic files that allow us to monitor the use of our websites. A pixel tag can collect information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that fetched the pixel tag; and the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server. When corresponding with you via HTML capable email, we may use "format sensing" technology, which allows pixel tags to let us know whether you received and opened our email.

We use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Digital Properties and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

    2.6 Physical Location.  We may collect the physical location of your device by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower, or WiFi signals. We may use your device’s physical location to provide you with location-based services and content and to learn when you have checked into one of our clubs. We may also share your device’s physical location, combined with information about what advertisements you viewed and other information we collect, with our marketing service providers to enable them to provide you with more localized content and to study the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. You may be able to allow or deny such uses and/or sharing of your device’s location by changing your device’s location settings, but if you choose to deny such uses and/or sharing, we and our marketing service providers may not be able to provide you with the location-based services and content.

    2.7 Other Sources. We may receive information about you from other sources, such as public databases, commercially available sources, service providers, advisors and agents, advertising networks, data analytics providers, internet service providers, operating systems and platforms, social networks, employers, government entities and other third parties, including via referrals from other members or guests or in connection with purchases of any "Add-On" memberships that include you as a member.

    2.8 Aggregated Information. We may aggregate or deidentify personal information. Aggregated or deidentified information does not identify and is not associated with you or any other user of our Digital Properties.

    2.8 Verification Information. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, and in conjunction with federal, state and local requirements, 24 Hour Fitness may screen and collect certain information from members and guests, including verification of vaccinated status or a pre-entry negative test result, where permitted or required, as part of the club check-in process (“Verification Information”). Access to certain 24 Hour Fitness clubs is currently limited to individuals who can provide a verification of vaccinated status or a pre-entry negative test result. We will check your Verification Information when you check in, but we will not make a copy of the Verification Information, itself. If you prefer not to have 24 Hour Fitness indicate in our systems that you have provided your Verification Information, you will need to bring your Verification Information each time you visit a club.

Any Verification Information indications 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. Please note that options for providing Verification Information vary by jurisdiction based on federal, state and local requirements and may change from time to time.

3. How We Use Your Information

4. How We Share Your Information

    4.1 Our Third Party Service Providers. We may share your information with our third party service providers and agents who provide services such as website hosting, data analysis, order fulfillment, information technology and related infrastructure provision, customer service, email delivery, text messaging, credit card or other payment processing, auditing and similar services.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements regarding goods and services that may be of interest to you when you access and use our Clubs, our Digital Properties and other websites and online services, based on information relating to your access to and use of our Digital Properties and other websites and online services on any of your devices, as well as on information received from you both online and offline and from third parties. To do so, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (including through the use of pixel tags), and they may also use the information to measure the effectiveness of ads. In addition, they may use these technologies, along with information they collect about your online use, to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile phone and a laptop. We may share Digital Properties usage and other information with third party advertisers and partners for the purpose of effectively targeting our online advertisements unless you opt-out. Please note that California consumers can opt-out of the "sale" of their personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act as described in Section 8. Important Additional Information for California Residents.

You can learn about these advertising practices at www.aboutads.info and opt out of them in desktop and mobile browsers on the particular device on which you are accessing this Privacy Policy by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) consumer opt-out page at http://optout.aboutads.info. You may download the AppChoices app at www.aboutads.info/appchoices to opt out in mobile apps. You may also adjust your browser or mobile device settings to refuse or restrict cookies. However, some features or services may not function properly without cookies. Cookie based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted-out. The DAA is a self-regulatory organization that provides educational content and opt-out tools to help Internet users learn about and exercise choice with respect to online interest-based advertising practices.

We reserve the right to disclose your personal information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.

If you are a resident of California, under 18 and a registered user of the Digital Properties, you may ask us to remove content or information that you have posted to the Digital Properties by writing to cpm@24hourfit.com. Please note that your request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information, as, for example, some of your content may have been reposted by another user.

In addition, we may share information about you and your fitness activities, progress and goals with your personal trainer, research organization or other individual or entity you designate, if you choose to permit such sharing.

    4.5 Sharing with Other Services. If you choose to connect our mobile application to a third-party fitness data platform (such as Apple Health, Google Fit, or Fitbit), we will share your information with such platform, which may have information practices that are different from ours. You may revoke your consent to such sharing by accessing the settings for the relevant platform. Similarly, if you elect to connect your social media account to your Digital Properties account, your personal information may be shared with your friends associated with your social media account and with your social media account provider (which may have different information practices from ours).
