Privacy policy (English version)
This Privacy Policy provides you with information about how and why we process personal data regarding our members. SATS Norway AS (“SATS” or “we”) operates the chain of fitness centres, SATS. We are the Data Controller for the data that are processed in connection with this undertaking.
HOW WE USE PERSONAL DATA
Administration of memberships. In order to register you as a member with us, and in order for us to be able to invoice and manage your membership, we process name, national ID number, contact information, photo, membership type and your communication with us. If you have a membership via a company agreement or via a partner, we will also process information regarding your employer / the partner through which you have your membership. If you have a student membership, we will also process information regarding your place of study.
Exercise follow-up. In order to manage and follow-up your exercise with us, we will register your exercise history, i.e., your visits to our fitness centres, your enrolment and withdrawal from group sessions, your participation in group sessions, your use of personal trainer and your general use of our exercise services. If you choose to share such information with us, we will also process information regarding your health, such as physical injuries or illnesses.
Online exercise. In order to manage and follow-up use of our web-based services, we will register your login details (username/password), your searches, your previous playbacks and the favourites that you save.
App functions. In order to offer relevant functionalities, we process data regarding use of social functions, your exercise and preference choices you personally make in the app. We also use functionalities that are offered by Google or Apple, that you choose to activate (e.g., location or Bluetooth).
Exercise-related services. If you use MiniSATS, we will register that you have children. If you use our exercise-related services, such as physiotherapy, massage, dietary guidance or lifestyle courses, we will process data about you that are necessary for these services, such as health, weight, habits, needs and preferences.
Purchases. If you make purchases in our online shop, or if you make purchases at one of our fitness centres which you link to your membership, we will, for bookkeeping purposes, process information regarding your purchases, i.e., what you purchased, the time of the purchase and the amount.
Rewards. We will use your exercise history to include you in our SATS Reward program, where you will be rewarded for exercising at SATS. The reward program is based on how long you have been a SATS member and how often you exercise at SATS.
Product development. In order to evaluate, improve and optimise our exercise services, we will be able to process your responses to member surveys, as well as analyse statistics of your use of our exercise services in order to understand our members’ needs and preferences.
Studies. Occasionally, we recruit members for studies, surveys or other research conducted by third parties. Participation is always voluntary. Unless you consent thereto, we will not gain access to information from such studies at the individual level, but we may gain access to the results at an aggregated level.
Camera surveillance. For security purposes, we have Camera surveillance at our centres.
SATS safety regulations and rules of conduct follow-up. In order to ensure a pleasant and including atmosphere in our centres we have safety regulations and rules of conduct. Breach of these rules may in certain cases lead to exclusion from out centres. We will process personal data related to any breaches of our safety regulations and rules of conduct, including data necessary to enforce a possible exclusion. We require a basis for the lawfulness of processing pursuant to the GDPR for our processing of personal data. For administration of memberships, online exercise, app functions and exercise-related services, the basis is that this is necessary to fulfil our agreement with you. For purchases, the necessity is to fulfil a legal obligation. For product development, it is our legitimate interest in improvement and innovation.* For exercise follow-up, it is our legitimate interest in administrating and following up your exercise.* For rewards, it is our legitimate interest in offering you rewards and keeping you motivated.* For studies, it is our legitimate interest to contribute to research and public information.* For camera surveillance, it is our legitimate interest to prevent dangerous situations and safeguard considerations for the safety of our employees and members.* For our safety regulations and rules of conduct follow-up it is our legitimate interest in ensuring the safety for our members and employees.* If it is necessary for us to process special categories of personal data (sensitive personal data) in order to provide you with our services, the basis for lawful processing is your consent, which you give via the Membership Terms and Conditions (GDPR, Article 6, no. 1 (a) and Article 7, no. 4).*When we process data for purposes related to our legitimate interests, we have assessed that the processing is necessary and that your interests and/or rights and freedoms do not outweigh our legitimate interest. If you want to read our legitimate interest assessment, you can contact us at privacy@sats.se.
We may also process personal data for other purposes if you consent thereto. If so, you may at any time withdraw your consent by contacting us at privacy@sats.se.
We may also process personal data for other compatible purposes, e.g., bookkeeping, for the handling of disputes and legal proceedings and in case of acquisitions, mergers or similar transactions.
