Gymcatch services

Gymcatch may provide in-app services like rewards, a shop and other direct-to-consumer services where you are transacting and interacting with Gymcatch. If you interact with these services we will use your registration information to identify you. We also may require that you provide additional information in order to provide those services.

Sometimes these services may be provided by third party providers such as retailers. We’ll make it clear to you if you are visiting or interacting with third party services.

Promotions is a feature that allows Businesses on Gymcatch to opt-in to showing their Consumers in-platform promotions from Sponsors offering, services or offers relevant to Consumers.

Gymcatch and the opted-in Business have a legitimate interest in providing this service to Consumers as promotions are relevant and additive to their participation at the businesses and the service being provided.

These offers are not targeted to individual users. They will be the same offers as any other user of the platform will see.

No additional personal data is processed in connection with Promotions. Gymcatch will record when a user views or clicks on a promotion link but this information is immediately anonymised and aggregated so the Gymcatch database does not record any personally identifiable data in connection with Promotions.

No personal data is transferred by Gymcatch to any third party (including the party offering the promotion or the Business at which the user sees the promotion).

When a user clicks on a promotion link they will be sent to a third party website. While we will endeavour to work with third parties operating a data and privacy best practice, neither Gymcatch nor the Business is responsible for the data processing on the third party site and the user interacts with that third party at their own risk.

The link to a promotors website may contain metadata which enables the promotor to identify that a visitor to their website originated from clicking a link on Gymcatch and or/a specific business on Gymcatch. This will not contain any personally identifiable information.
