Privacy & Terms

We're pretty serious about keeping your info safe. Here's the honest breakdown of what we do with your data and how we protect it.

Last Updated: October 31, 2025

Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But here's the thing: at Jade Vorn Continuum, we're not about hiding stuff in legal jargon. Your trust matters to us, especially when you're sharing personal health info and fitness goals.

This policy lays out exactly what information we gather when you train with us, why we need it, and what we do to keep it secure. We're based in Vancouver, BC, and we follow Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA, for those who care about acronyms).

Bottom line? We collect what we need to help you reach your fitness goals, we don't sell your data to anyone, and we take security seriously. If you've got questions after reading this, just shoot us an email or give us a call. We're real people here.

Personal Details

When you sign up with us, we'll ask for the basics - your name, email, phone number, and address. Pretty standard stuff so we can reach you about classes, sessions, or if we need to reschedule.

Health & Fitness Info

This is where it gets more personal. We collect health history, current fitness levels, injuries (past or present), medical conditions, and your specific goals. Our trainers need this to design programs that won't hurt you and actually work for your body. We also track your progress - weight, measurements, performance metrics - so we can see what's working and adjust accordingly.

Payment Information

Credit card details, billing address, membership tier - the usual financial stuff. We use encrypted payment processors, so we don't actually store your full card numbers on our systems.

Usage Data

We track when you check in, which classes you attend, equipment you use, and even what pages you visit on our website. Helps us understand what's popular and what needs improvement.

Communications

Emails with trainers, messages about appointments, feedback you give us - we keep records of these conversations for quality and reference purposes.

Personalized Training Programs

Your health info and fitness goals help our trainers create customized workout plans that actually make sense for your body and lifestyle.

Class Scheduling & Notifications

We'll remind you about upcoming sessions, let you know about schedule changes, and send updates about new classes that match your interests.

Billing & Membership Management

Processing payments, managing your membership level, sending invoices - the administrative stuff that keeps everything running smoothly.

Progress Tracking

Monitoring your improvements over time so we can celebrate wins and adjust when something's not clicking.

Improving Our Services

We analyze trends (anonymously) to figure out what programs work best, what equipment to invest in, and how to make the experience better overall.

Marketing Communications

Occasional emails about new classes, special events, or wellness tips. You can opt out of these anytime - we won't take it personally.

Safety & Legal Compliance

Keeping records for insurance purposes and making sure we're meeting all the legal requirements for running a fitness facility in Canada.

We take security seriously because, honestly, the thought of someone getting hold of your health info keeps us up at night. Here's what we do to protect your data:

  • Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS technology. Your stored data is also encrypted at rest.
  • Access Controls: Only staff who actually need your info can see it. Our front desk doesn't need your medical history, and our trainers don't need your credit card details.
  • Secure Storage: Digital records are stored on secure, password-protected servers. Physical documents (yeah, we still have some) are kept in locked cabinets in restricted areas.
  • Regular Updates: We keep our security systems current and run regular checks to identify vulnerabilities.
  • Staff Training: Everyone on our team goes through privacy training. They know what's at stake and take it seriously.
  • Data Backups: We maintain secure backups so if something goes wrong, your info isn't lost forever.

Important: No system is 100% bulletproof. If we ever experience a data breach that affects your info, we'll let you know immediately and tell you exactly what happened and what we're doing about it.

Yeah, we use cookies - not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are small files that help our website remember you and work properly.

Essential Cookies

These keep you logged in, remember what's in your cart, and basically make the site functional. Can't really turn these off if you want the site to work.

Analytics Cookies

Help us understand which pages people visit, where they click, and how long they stick around. We use this to improve the site. These are anonymous - we can't identify you personally from this data.

Preference Cookies

Remember your settings like language preferences or if you've dismissed certain notifications.

Managing Cookies: You can control cookies through your browser settings. Just know that blocking some cookies might make parts of the site not work as smoothly.

Let's be crystal clear: we don't sell your data to anyone. Period. However, we do work with some third-party services to run our business:

Payment Processors

We use secure payment services to handle transactions. They get the minimum info needed to process your payment and are bound by strict security standards.

Email Service Providers

For sending class reminders and newsletters. They can't use your email for anything else.

Cloud Storage

We store data with reputable cloud providers who maintain high security standards and are located in Canada.

Analytics Tools

For understanding website traffic and user behavior. This data is anonymized and aggregated.

We only share what's absolutely necessary with these services, and they're contractually obligated to protect your data. If there's ever a legal requirement to share your info (like a court order), we'll notify you unless we're legally prohibited from doing so.

Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal info. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Data

Request a copy of all the personal information we have on you. We'll provide it within 30 days.

Correct Inaccuracies

If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it right away.

Request Deletion

Want us to delete your data? We'll do it, unless we're legally required to keep certain records.

Opt-Out of Marketing

Unsubscribe from promotional emails anytime. There's a link at the bottom of every message.

Data Portability

Get your data in a format you can take elsewhere if you want to switch gyms.

Withdraw Consent

Change your mind about how we use your data? You can withdraw consent anytime.

To exercise any of these rights: Just email us at info@jadevorncontinuum.info or call (604) 555-8792. We'll verify your identity (for security reasons) and get it sorted within 30 days.

Alright, here's the deal with using our facility and services. We try to keep things fair and straightforward.

Membership & Access

Your membership is personal - don't let your buddy use your card. If we catch that happening, we can suspend or terminate your membership without a refund. You're responsible for keeping your access card safe.
