The Lifestyle Fitness Formula Privacy Policy
Respecting Your Privacy
Your privacy is important to Lifestyle Fitness Formula Ltd. This privacy policy sets out how We collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information.
By interacting with Us (including enrolling in Our courses or creating an Account with Us), or otherwise providing your personal information to Us, you consent to Us collecting, storing, using and disclosing your personal information in accordance with this policy, or as otherwise disclosed by Us at the time of collection.
We may amend this policy from time to time, and the most current version will be published on Our website. Your continued interaction with Us (including participating in Our courses or using Your Account) or your provision of further personal information to Us once this policy has been amended, will constitute your acceptance of the amended policy.
This policy should be read together with Our Terms, where they have been made available to you.
Collection
The personal information We collect and hold about you will depend on the nature of your interaction with Us, including whether you are a prospective, current or past client. The information will generally include your name and contact details (such as your phone number, address and email address) and any other personal information you provide Us (such as your gender, date of birth, occupation, activities and interests). If you sign up to our program, the information will also generally include your financial details (such as credit card or bank account details) and your feedback and opinions. We may also collect health information about you (which is “sensitive information” under Australia’s privacy laws). However, We will only collect health information about you with your consent and if it is reasonably necessary for Us to do so, or where We are otherwise authorised by law.
Generally, We collect personal information directly from you. This may occur in a number of ways, including:
when you enquire about, or sign up to one of Our packages or programmes;
when you request a consultation with Us;
when you create an Account with Us;
when you attend one of Our events;
when you download Our resources;
when you click on one of Our online advertisements;
when you send Us an enquiry or provide feedback to Us, for example, by email or through Our website or social media accounts;
if you sign up to one of Our mailing lists;
when you fill out polls or surveys on Our website;
when you agree to participate in a study We are conducting or in which We are involved; or
when you otherwise communicate or interact with Us by telephone, email or on Our website or social media accounts.
Sometimes We collect personal information from a third party or from a publicly available source, but only if you have consented to your information being used in this way, or would reasonably expect Us to collect it in this way. We only collect this information from companies or sources that are allowed to disclose it to Us.
You do not have to provide your personal information to Us if you do not wish to, but if you do not provide all the information We request, We may not be able to provide you with the services or information you have requested.
Accounting Software and Credit Card Processing Providers
We use accounting software and credit card processing providers such as Stripe and Xero to process your payments through Our website and to store your financial details. These providers may be located overseas, in Ireland or other countries. These providers will handle your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. The information they collect may include (among other things) your name, email address, billing address, shipping address, payment method information (such as credit or debit card number, bank account information or payment card image selected by you), merchant and location, purchase amount, date of purchase, information about what you have purchased, your phone number, and other information to verify your personal information or identity. Where you provide the information directly to our provider, some of that information (for example, what you have purchased) will be provided by them to Us. You can access the privacy policies for Stripe and Xero on their websites.
Social Media and Communication Services
We also use social media and communication services such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and other channels to communicate with the public about Our goods and services. The social networking and communications service will also handle Your personal information for its own purposes. These services have their own privacy policies. You can access the privacy policies for Meta Platforms, Inc. (covering Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram), YouTube and other channels on their websites.
