Privacy

Friskis&Svettis Brussels asbl/bvba is committed to respecting the privacy rights of website visitors. The following policy describes how we collect, protect and use information we receive from website visitors.

What information do we collect?

We collect information from you when you respond to a survey or register for communication such as email, or participate in another site feature. When registering or participating, we may ask you for your name, date of birth, email address, mailing address, daytime phone number, or other information. You may, however, visit our site anonymously without registering. We also receive and store data and other information about visits to our websites. This information is used to analyse and improve the website experience.

How do we use your information?

We may use the information we collect from you when you register, respond to a survey, surf the website, or use certain other site features in the following ways:

• to personalize your site experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested.
• to allow us to better service you in responding to your member service requests.
• to learn about site visitors and members and to tailor specific features, promotions, or other notifications to you.

If you have opted-in to receive email from us, we may send you periodic emails from Friskis&Svettis Brussels asbl/bvba. If you have not opted-in to receive Friskis&Svettis Brussels email, you will not receive these emails. Visitors who register or participate in other site features will be given a choice whether they would like to be on our email list and receive email communications from us.

How do we protect visitor information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

Do we use "cookies"?

Yes. Cookies are pieces of information that a site sends to your computer while you are viewing the site. Cookies work in combination with content within the site itself to capture and remember information. For instance, cookies are used to track your activity and understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity. This enables us to provide you with services or to improve your site experience. We also use cookies to provide us with aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may contract with third party service providers to assist us in serving cookies, however, they are not permitted to use the information collected except to help Friskis&Svettis Brussels asbl/bvba conduct and improve its activities. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won’t have access to some features that make your site experience more efficient—like the features mentioned above—and some of our services will not function properly.

Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?

No.
