Privacy Policy

Chapter One Personal Training needs a wide range of "personal information" in order to carry out its business. "Personal information" is essentially information from which you can be identified. This Privacy Policy explains Chapter One Personal Training’s approach to the handling of personal information, and how we comply with our privacy obligations.

Chapter One Personal Training is bound by the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988. If you provide us with information about your health, we also strive to ensure that our handling of that information complies with applicable State and Territory health records legislation.

What personal information does Chapter One Personal Training collect and why?
Chapter One Personal Training collects personal information from its clients.
Chapter One Personal Training needs personal information:

To provide its clients with personalised fitness services (including assessments of physical fitness, health status and goals)
To conduct our business (i.e. to administer accounts, and to communicate with our clients)

To illustrate, the personal information we collect about our clients includes:

Identification information including each client’s name, address, contact details (including telephone numbers and email address), date of birth.
Health information including information provided on the pre-exercise questionnaire (that clients complete upon becoming a client of Chapter One Personal Training) a Health information is a sensitive form of personal information, so we only collect it with your consent, and we only collect what we need

We need this personal information to provide health and fitness services and it is collected from application forms and when clients communicate with us through our website. We also collect:

"Next of Kin" information which we collect from our clients for use in the case of an emergency. We suggest that our clients tell their next of kin that they have been nominated for this purpose

How does Chapter One Personal Training use personal information?

We use personal information to provide fitness and health services, to manage and administer to operate our business.

Unless you tell us otherwise, we may also use clients' personal information to mail out special promotions, newsletters and other marketing material. For instance, Chapter One Personal Training may mail its clients information about its own promotions. If you don't want us to do this, please advise us.

Does Chapter One Personal Training share my personal information with anyone else?

Chapter One Personal Training will disclose your personal information when working with certain contractors for example we may engage IT contractors to maintain our databases. All our contractors are subject to strict confidentiality obligations, meaning that they are authorised only to use personal information in order to provide the services or to perform the functions required by us. We will also disclose personal information if we are under a legal requirement to do so (i.e. under a court order, or if required under legislation), or if an authorised request is made from a law enforcement agency. Otherwise, we will only disclose personal information with the consent of the relevant individuals.

How can I access my Personal Information?

Privacy laws give you rights to seek access to the personal information we hold about you. You can seek access by requesting it formally in writing. Your personal information will be provided to you within 48 hours of your request, although we may need more time if your request is complicated.

We try to ensure that all the personal information that we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, we rely on you to help us with this. If you wish to update or correct the personal information we hold about you please put the changes in writing.

Is my Personal Information kept secure?

Chapter One Personal Training takes reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold is stored in a secure environment protected from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Your personal information is treated like confidential information.

Anonymity

Chapter One Personal Training only offers its health and fitness services to clients, and it is not possible to become a client of Chapter One Personal Training without providing us with the personal information that is requested in our application form and in our pre-exercise questionnaire.
