Welcome to fitDEGREE! Your Privacy is very important to us and fitDEGREE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“fitDEGREE”, “we”, “us”, and “our”), is committed to conducting our business in accordance with privacy principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.This Privacy Notice applies to the fitDEGREE Websites (www.fitdegree.com); our mobile website and any other web-based platforms; the fitDEGREE Mobile Application and the fitDEGREE Administrator Platform, and all additional web clients and mobile applications (collectively, the “Websites”) and governs our data collection, processing and usage. Access to and use of the Websites, and the services provided on the Website (collectively, the “Service”), will be subject to this Privacy Notice as set forth below.
We gather various types of information, including information that identifies you as an individual (“Personal Information”) from our users, as explained in more detail below.
Registration information. When you create or reconfigure an account, you provide us with Personal Information, such as your name, birthday, password and email address. Some of this information, for example, your name, may be listed publicly on our Service, including on your profile page and in search results (if applicable). We will not share your email address or password. In order to register for an account to use our Services, you will be asked to set up a new account with, at a minimum, your first name,last name, email address, and password.
Profile information. You may further provide us with additional optional profile information to make public, such as your last name, a short description of yourself, your location and/or a picture. You may also provide information to customize your account, such as a cell phone number for the delivery of a short message system (“SMS”) or text messages, from either fitDEGREE or another user/studio. We may use your contact information to send you information about our Service or to market to you. We may also use your contact information, with your express consent, to connect you with other “friends” you may have using the fitDEGREE Services.
Although you are not required to provide us with a location, the Service may not function properly without providing us with a location. Your location enables us to suggest fitSpots the studio locations near you. If you do not provide us with a location you may, however, still be able to use the app to find where fitSpots are located near you by using the spotlight search feature within the app.
You may use your account settings to customize notifications from fitDEGREE. Each notification can be individually turned off in your profile on the fitDEGREE App
Social Media Information. You may provide us with your information from your Facebook, X, Instagram or other social media account (“Social Media”) in order to enable you to send posts and direct messages via these Social Media accounts to notify your networks of your use of fitDEGREE. If you elect to provide us with your Social Media accounts, you authorize us to access certain Social Media account information, including your social media handle, user name and geo-location. By allowing us to access your Social Media accounts, you understand that we will obtain and share your user name and a profile picture from each account with other users. All data shared with or processed via Social Media is subject to each Social Media provider’s Privacy Notice. You can elect to “un-share” this information with us by changing the settings in your fitDEGREE profile.
Location Information. You may tell us your location (but you are not required to do so) when you set your location settings via the fitDEGREE application by providing us with a general locale (e.g., New York City), or enable your computer or mobile device to send us specific location information (i.e., via a global positioning system (“GPS”)). We may use and store information about your location to provide features of our Service, to determine the appropriate content to show you, and to improve and customize the Service.
Communications between you and other fitDEGREE users. The fitDEGREE Mobile Application allows you to communicate directly with other fitDEGREE users through the Mobile Application. Copies of communications between users will be stored on fitDEGREE’s servers and displayed on user’s phones. You may delete communications between individual users and group communications. In order to permanently delete these communications, you can contact fitDEGREE at support@fitdegree.com.
Communications between you and fitDEGREE. If you email us, we may keep your message, email address and contact information to respond to your request. Providing the additional information described in this paragraph is entirely optional. We may send you Service-related emails (e.g., account verification, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices), and we may collect and store these communications. Note that you may not opt out of Service-related emails from us.
You can control the use of the information you provide us by changing your Privacy Settings in your profile, as described below under “Your Privacy Rights”.
Analytics. We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends and other Non-Personal Information for the Service (e.g. date and time when you log in and log out of the app) (“Third-Parties”). These tools collect information sent by your device or our Service, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assist us in improving the Service. We collect and combine this analytics information with analytics information from other users so that it cannot be used to identify any particular individual user. For further information on how we share information with third-parties, see below.
Metadata. Metadata is usually technical data that is associated with other data, including content. For example, metadata can describe how, when and by whom a piece of content was collected and how that content is formatted. We may store metadata to provide you with particular services. The collection, use, and storage of this metadata can be controlled as described below in the “Cookie Policy.”
Device Identifiers. For each device you use to access our Service (e.g., laptop computer, mobile phone, tablet), we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, or remotely store one or more "device identifiers." Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your device, which uniquely identify your device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by fitDEGREE. In the alternative, a device identifier may be a serial number or other identification associated with a particular type of device or part that is unique to your device (e.g., a “media access control” number or “MAC”) that we store to identify and differentiate different devices. A device identifier may be used to deliver information to us or to a third-party partner about how you browse and use the Service and may help us or others provide reports or personalized content and ads. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled. The collection, use, and storage of these device identifiers can be controlled as described below in the “Cookie Policy.”
Log Data. Our servers automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of the Service. Log Data may include information such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, location, your mobile carrier, device and application IDs, search terms, and cookie information. We receive Log Data when you interact with our Service, for example, when you visit our website, sign into our Service or interact with our email notifications. fitDEGREE uses Log Data to provide our Service and to measure, customize, and improve the Service. The collection, use, and storage of this Log Data can be controlled as described below in the “Cookie Policy.”
We provide the Service from within the United States, and we store all Personal Information that we currently collect, process, and retain on servers located within the United States. In the future, we reserve the right to store Personal Information on servers located outside the United States.
Privacy laws outside of the United States may be more stringent than the privacy laws within the United States that apply to fitDEGREE. By providing fitDEGREE with your Personal Information, you consent to the storage and processing of your personal information in the United States as further stated in the current version of this Privacy Notice. fitDEGREE reserves the right to update its Privacy Notice from time to time.
Certain types of content you submit to us might reveal your gender, ethnic origin, nationality, age, religion, sexual orientation, or other Personal Information about you or others. By using our Service, or by submitting your Personal Information to us, you consent to the collection, storage, processing and onward transfer of your Personal Information as stated in the current version of this Privacy Notice and the current version of the Terms of Use (“Terms”).
We only share your Personal Information in the following limited circumstances:
With Your Consent. We will share Personal Information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of fitDEGREE when we have your consent to do so.
Other fitDEGREE Users. Each user is sharing personal information with us. This allows users to connect with others (“make friends”) and invite friends to classes.

You agree to take all necessary precautions in any interaction with another user. Accordingly, we suggest that the first several meetings and work-outs should be in public locations that are frequented by large numbers of people. During the first few meetings and work-outs you should not share more personal information than you need to.
If you provide fitDEGREE with a phone number or other contact information, we may use your contact information to connect you with other “friends” you may have using the fitDEGREE Services with your express consent. You can control the use of your contact information in this manner by changing the settings of your profile.
Affiliates of fitDEGREE. We may share your Personal Information with our fitDEGREE affiliates (meaning entities controlled by, controlling or under common control with fitDEGREE) as necessary to provide the Service.
Service Providers. We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audit, marketing and development). These third parties may have limited access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated to fitDEGREE not to disclose or use it for other purposes.
Required by Law. We may access, preserve and share your Personal Information in response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena). We may also access, preserve and share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; to protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of investigations; and to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. Information we receive about you may be accessed, processed and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm.
Change of Control/Business Transfers. If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of fitDEGREE or our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), your Personal Information such as name and email address, Content and any other information collected through the Service may be on of the assets sold or transferred to a third party. Any such sale, transfer, or otherwise sharing of our assets shall be subject to the restrictions of this Privacy Notice and any applicable data protection laws. You will continue to own your Content, but the license you granted in the Terms may be transferred to others.
Non-Personal Information. We may share aggregated information that is not personally-identifiable information (“Non-Personal Information”) publicly and with publishers, marketers, advertisers or connected sites. For example, we may share Non-Personal Information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services. Non-Personal Information includes collective information about multiple users that does not reflect or reference an individually-identifiable user.
Additional Disclosures. We reserve the right to disclose personal information about you with your permission, as required by law, as necessary to enforce our Terms of Service or Privacy Notice, to investigate or defend against third-party claims or allegations, to protect the security and integrity of our Services and property, to protect our rights or personal safety and that of our users or others and to respond to valid requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
