1. About This Privacy Policy

Focus Fitness Limited is responsible for deciding how personal information collected through our gym, website, membership systems and App is used.

These organisations may process personal information on our behalf to provide the App, membership management, booking, payment, communication, technical support and related services.

Where a technology provider processes personal information for its own purposes, its own privacy notice may also apply. You can review the Xplor Privacy Notice for further information.

Service providers are permitted to access personal information only where reasonably necessary to provide their services or meet legal requirements.

We do not sell your personal information.

7. Storage and Overseas Processing

Some of our technology, App, cloud-hosting or payment providers may store or process personal information outside New Zealand.

Depending on the service being used, information may be processed in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States, Canada or another country in which an approved service provider operates.

Where personal information is disclosed outside New Zealand, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected in a way that provides safeguards comparable to those required under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against:

  • Loss or misuse.
  • Unauthorised access.
  • Unauthorised modification or disclosure.
  • Accidental destruction.
  • Theft and fraudulent activity.

These safeguards may include access restrictions, staff confidentiality obligations, secure technology providers, authentication controls, system monitoring and encryption of App data while it is transmitted.

No website, mobile application, storage system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your password and account credentials confidential and should notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

9. Data Retention and Deletion Policy

We retain personal information collected through the App, website, membership systems and gym only for as long as it is reasonably necessary to:

  • Maintain and service your active account or membership.
  • Provide the gym, fitness, booking and coaching services you request.
  • Process payments and maintain transaction records.
  • Respond to enquiries and resolve complaints.
  • Protect members, staff and Focus Fitness property.
  • Prevent fraud, misuse or security incidents.
  • Resolve disputes and enforce agreements.
  • Meet tax, accounting, regulatory and other legal obligations.

App account, profile, fitness, workout and booking information will generally be retained while your account remains active or while it is needed to provide the services you have requested.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete it or permanently anonymise it.

Some information may need to be retained after your membership or App account ends. For example, financial and transaction records may need to be retained for at least seven tax years to meet New Zealand record-keeping obligations.

Information connected with an unresolved complaint, unpaid account, safety incident, investigation or legal claim may be retained until the matter has been resolved and any applicable legal period has expired.

Marketing information may be retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to stop using it. We may retain limited information on a suppression list to ensure we honour your request.

Technical logs, security records and diagnostic information are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for security, support, analytics and service-improvement purposes.

CCTV footage is retained for a limited period based on operational and security requirements. Relevant footage may be retained for longer where it is required to investigate an incident, respond to a complaint, protect legal rights or comply with the law.

Deleted information may remain temporarily within protected backup systems until it is overwritten through the applicable backup cycle. Backup information is not available for ordinary business use and will only be accessed where required for security or system-recovery purposes.

10. App Account Deletion Requests

You may request deletion of your Focus Fitness Gym App account and the personal information associated with that account.

Where an account-deletion option is available within the App, you may follow the instructions displayed in your App profile or account settings.

You may also submit an account-deletion request outside the App by emailing:

reception@focusfitnessgym.co.nz

Use the subject line: Focus Fitness App Account Deletion Request

Please provide:

  • Your full name.
  • The email address connected to your account.
  • Your telephone number or membership number.
  • A clear statement that you want your App account deleted.

Do not send your password, full payment-card number or complete bank-account details.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a deletion request. Once verified, we will delete or permanently anonymise the App account and associated personal information unless specific information must be retained for a legitimate legal, financial, security, fraud-prevention or dispute-resolution purpose.

Any information that must be retained will be restricted and used only for the purpose that requires its retention.

Temporarily disabling, freezing or suspending an App account is not treated as account deletion.

Deleting your App account does not automatically cancel your gym membership or remove outstanding membership obligations. If you also want to cancel your gym membership, please contact Focus Fitness separately and follow the cancellation requirements in your membership agreement.

11. Accessing or Correcting Your Information

You may ask us to:

  • Confirm whether we hold personal information about you.
  • Provide access to personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
  • Update your communication or marketing preferences.
  • Delete information where it is no longer required.
  • Explain how your information has been used or disclosed.

Some requests may be subject to limitations or exceptions under the Privacy Act 2020. We may need to verify your identity before providing access, correcting information or deleting an account.

12. Marketing Communications

Where permitted, we may use your contact information to send information about:

  • Membership offers.
  • Gym services and facilities.
  • Classes and events.
  • Promotions and competitions.
  • Fitness-related news and updates.

You can unsubscribe by using the unsubscribe option in a marketing message or by contacting us.

Opting out of marketing will not prevent us from sending essential messages relating to your membership, payments, bookings, safety, account security or changes to our services.

13. Cookies and Analytics

Our website and App may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools and similar technologies to:

  • Remember preferences.
  • Keep services functioning properly.
  • Understand how visitors and members use our services.
  • Measure website and App performance.
  • Diagnose technical issues.
  • Improve advertising and communications.

You can manage website cookies through your browser settings and control App permissions through your device settings. Disabling certain technologies may affect the way some features operate.

14. Children and Young People

Where a person under 18 uses our services, we may require the involvement or authorisation of a parent or legal guardian.

Parents or guardians may contact us regarding personal information associated with a young person’s account. We will consider the young person’s individual circumstances and privacy rights before responding.

15. CCTV Privacy

Focus Fitness uses CCTV to:

  • Protect members, visitors and staff.
  • Maintain the security of gym premises and equipment.
  • Investigate accidents, misconduct or security incidents.
  • Prevent and investigate unauthorised access, theft or damage.
  • Establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

CCTV footage may be viewed by authorised Focus Fitness personnel and may be disclosed to insurers, legal advisers, security providers, law-enforcement agencies or other authorised parties where reasonably necessary or permitted by law.

CCTV footage will not be used for an unrelated purpose unless authorised or required by law.

16. Privacy Breaches

If we become aware of a privacy breach, we will assess the incident, take reasonable steps to limit potential harm and comply with our notification obligations under the Privacy Act 2020.

Where a breach is likely to cause serious harm, we will notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals as soon as reasonably practicable, unless an exception applies.

17. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website or App may contain links to, or integrations with, third-party websites, platforms and services. Those third parties are responsible for their own privacy practices.

We recommend reviewing the privacy notice of any third-party service before providing personal information or enabling an integration.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, App features, service providers, data practices or legal obligations change.

The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Where a change materially affects how we handle personal information, we will provide additional notice where required.
