Your right to privacy is a responsibility we take very seriously and we handle your personal information with complete care.
Our Privacy Policy goes into detail about how we collect and handle your personal information, as well as who we exchange your information with, how we store your information and how you can access and correct your information – plus how you can make a complaint about any perceived breach.
This Privacy Policy applies to the services offered by GRIPT Pty Ltd (ABN 29 603 624 424).
Statement Of Confinement:
GRIPT is committed to protecting your privacy and that includes any personal information about you that we collect. GRIPT complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). This policy explains how we may collect, use, disclose and otherwise handle personal and sensitive information.
GRIPT is committed to safeguarding your personal privacy. We recognise that all individuals have a right to control how their personal information is collected - and used – and we take that seriously. Providing personal information is an act of trust and we appreciate your trust in us – we’ll do our best to never let you down. Unless given consent to do otherwise, GRIPT will only collect and use personal information as set out below.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, your personal information may mean some or all of the following: a member’s name, contact details, date of birth, emergency contact details, bank account and/or credit card details, student identification details, employment details, payment history and related sensitive information.
Collecting Personal Information:
GRIPT will not collect or monitor any personal information about an individual without their personal consent. The only personal information that we collect when you sign on with GRIPT is what is provided voluntarily – when you join as a member or enquire as a prospective member.
The reason we collect your personal information, primarily, is to enable us to provide members with our services. GRIPT may also use the information for marketing to you, or for any other purpose permitted under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). You don’t need to identify yourself when you deal with us (e.g. to find out more about membership packages), however, in some situations, our GRIPT team will only deal with individuals who have identified themselves to us.
When a membership or product is purchased from GRIPT, personal information will be requested in order to provide the requested service or product, provide updated information, and advise of other GRIPT products, which may be of interest to your fitness journey. You are not under any obligation to provide this personal information, however, your failure to do so may result in GRIPT being unable to provide services or products to you.
Personal information is collected directly from members or potential future members when they personally complete and submit an application form to become a member of GRIPT. This can be done in person with one of our GRIPT team.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, sensitive information means the information a member has disclosed to us about their physical and mental health and well-being.
Collecting Sensitive Information:
Sensitive information will only ever be used for providing services to members. Your personal information will not be used or disclosed for any other purposes without your consent, except in exceptional cases when disclosure may be required by law or is necessary to protect the rights or property of GRIPT, any GRIPT group company, or any member of the public, or to lessen a serious threat to a person's health or safety. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, sensitive information is a subset of personal information.
Using And Disclosing Your Personal Information:
Personal Information will be used for the following primary purpose:
• To fulfill obligations under a member’s membership agreement and/or any other contract between him/her and GRIPT;

GRIPT recognise the trust you have in us when you provide personal information, and such information will not be used or disclosed for any other purposes without consent, except in exceptional cases when disclosure may be required by law or is necessary to protect the rights or property of GRIPT, any GRIPT group company, or any member of the public, or to lessen a serious threat to a person's health or safety.
