Welcome to Empower Fitness (“we”, “us”, “our”). We offer group strength & conditioning sessions and operate the website www.empowerfitnesscommunity.com. Protecting your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, how we safeguard it, and your rights in relation to it.

By using our Site and services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

a. Information you provide directly

How We Use Your Information

We may use your information for:

To respond to inquiries or support requests
To analyze usage and improve our services

Payment Processing & Third-Party Services

We do not store full credit card data on our own servers. Payment processing is handled by third-party payment processors (e.g. Stripe, PayPal, or similar). Their privacy and security policies apply as well.

We may also integrate with third-party services (e.g. email marketing tools, analytics providers). We will share data with them only to the extent needed for them to provide their services and under confidentiality obligations.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may disclose personal information:

To our service providers and contractors (for hosting, payment processing, email services, analytics)
When required by law or legal processes (e.g. subpoena)
To protect our rights, safety, or property
In connection with a business transaction (sale, merger, etc.) — if that happens, you should be informed

Data Retention

We retain personal information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy (e.g. active membership, billing) or as required by law. After that, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

Security Measures

We apply reasonable security measures (encryption, access controls, secure servers) to protect your personal information. However, no system is perfect, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

The right to access your data
The right to correct or update your data
The right to delete your data
The right to object to or restrict certain processing
The right to portability of your data
The right to withdraw consent (for marketing communications)

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, contact us at ajohnston003@gmail.com.

Children

We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors (e.g. under 13). If you believe we have done so, please contact us and we will delete that information.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will post the updated version and revise the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
