You have the right to object to processing your data on the basis of legitimate interest. However, Fitpass can refuse such an objection in accordance with applicable legislation, for example, if the processing is necessary for preparing, exercising or defending legal claims.

We process your personal data to the extent necessary to fulfill obligations, improve services, comply with legal regulations, and in other cases based on your consent, for example, for:

5. TRANSFER TO COUNTRIES OUTSIDE EUROPE

In order to protect your personal data, Fitpass may transfer your personal data to Bulgaria or another country of the European Union where an appropriate level of protection of personal data is applied. However, we have service providers, operations and group companies in several geographical locations. As such, we and our service providers may transfer your personal data to, or process it in, jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area or the Member’s domicile.

We will take steps to ensure that the Members’ personal data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which it is processed. We provide appropriate and adequate protection for the transfers of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area through a series of agreements with our service providers based on the Standard Contractual Clauses or through other appropriate safeguards.

More information regarding the transfers of personal data may be obtained by contacting us at any of the addresses indicated above.

6. DATA RECIPIENTS

We only share your personal data within the organization of Fitpass if and as far as reasonably necessary for the purposes of this Privacy Statement.

We do not share your personal data with third parties outside of Fitpass’s organization unless one of the following circumstances applies:

For the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement and to authorized service providers – Partners

To the extent that third parties (such as venues, partners or retailers which provide your services) require access to personal data for us to perform the Fitpass Services or for other legal reasons, we may provide your data to such third parties. For example, we may share your full name with Partners listed as service providers through the Fitpass service from whom the User has used a specific membership within the Fitpass service, but only the data necessary to fulfill the Interactive service, such as verifying membership status.

Furthermore, we may provide your personal data to our group companies or to authorized service providers who perform services for us (including data storage, analytics, marketing and payment fraud prevention) to process it for us and to payment service providers to process your payments to us.

When data is processed by third parties on behalf of Fitpass, Fitpass has taken the appropriate contractual and organizational measures to ensure that your data are processed exclusively for the purposes specified in this Privacy Statement and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and subject to our instructions and appropriate obligations of confidentiality and security measures.

Please bear in mind that if you provide personal data directly to a third party, such as through a link in Fitpass Services, the processing is based on their policies and standards.

For legal reasons and legal processes

We may share your personal data with third parties outside Fitpass if we have a good-faith belief that access to and use of the personal data is reasonably necessary to: (i) meet any applicable law, regulation, and/or court order; (ii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, crime, security or technical issues; and/or (iii) protect the interests, properties or safety of Fitpass, the Members or the public as far as in accordance with the law. When possible, we will inform you about such processing.

For other legitimate reasons

If Fitpass is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we may transfer your personal data to the third party involved. However, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of all personal data. We will give notice to all the Members concerned when the personal data are transferred or become subject to a different privacy statement.

7. STORAGE PERIOD

Fitpass does not store your personal data longer than is legally permitted and necessary for the purposes of providing the Fitpass Services or the relevant parts thereof. The storage period depends on the nature of the information and on the purposes of processing. The maximum period may therefore vary per use.

After a Member has deleted their member account personal data may be stored only as long as such processing is required by law or is reasonably necessary for our legal obligations or legitimate interests such as claims handling, bookkeeping, internal reporting and reconciliation purposes.

We regularly assess the storage period for personal data to ensure the data is stored only for the necessary time period.

This may however lead to suspension or fewer possibilities to use the Fitpass Services.

We use administrative, organizational, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal data we collect and process. Measures include, for example, where appropriate, encryption, pseudonymization, firewalls, secure facilities and access right systems. Our security controls are designed to maintain an appropriate level of data confidentiality, integrity, availability, resilience and ability to restore the data. We regularly test Fitpass Services, systems, and other assets for security vulnerabilities. Furthermore, access to personal data by employees of Fitpass is restricted and access is subject to what is necessary for purposes of the employee’s work assignments.
