Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously - here's how we handle your info

Last Updated: October 31, 2025

Introduction

Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But since you're trusting us with your health journey and personal info, we figured you deserve to know what we're doing with it.

This policy covers Cryovorn Citadel Fitness, located at 2845 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6J 3J8. When you train with us, book cryo sessions, or even just browse our site, there's some data involved. We're gonna break down exactly what we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe.

We're committed to protecting your privacy while delivering the cold-forged training experience you expect from us. No shady stuff, no selling your email to spam bots - just straightforward data practices.

Information We Collect

We're not collecting data just for kicks. Everything we gather serves a purpose, whether it's booking your cryo session, tracking your progress, or making sure we can reach you if there's a schedule change.

Personal Information

  • Basic Contact Details: Name, email, phone number, address - pretty standard stuff we need to communicate with you
  • Account Credentials: Username and password if you create an online account (encrypted, obviously)
  • Payment Information: Credit card details, billing address - but we don't store the full card numbers ourselves
  • Health & Fitness Data: Medical history relevant to cold training, injury information, fitness goals, current conditioning level
  • Emergency Contacts: Who we should call if something goes wrong during intense training

Automatically Collected Data

  • Usage Data: How you navigate our site, which pages you visit, how long you stay
  • Device Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers
  • Location Data: General geographic location based on IP (not precise GPS tracking)
  • Cookies & Similar Tech: Small files that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience

Training & Session Data

  • Performance Metrics: Workout stats, cryo session durations, temperature tolerances, progress measurements
  • Attendance Records: Class bookings, session history, program enrollment
  • Progress Photos: If you choose to share them with your coach for tracking purposes

How We Use Your Information

Every piece of data we collect has a job to do. Here's what we're actually using your info for:

Service Delivery

Managing your memberships, scheduling your cryo sessions, providing personalized training programs, tracking your progress, and making sure you're getting the results you came here for.

Communication

Sending class reminders, schedule updates, responding to your questions, sharing important facility announcements. We'll also send occasional newsletters about new programs or special offers - but you can opt out anytime.

Safety & Health

Monitoring contraindications for cryotherapy, ensuring you're cleared for high-intensity training, maintaining emergency contact info, documenting any injuries or health concerns.

Payment Processing

Processing membership fees, booking payments, managing refunds when necessary. We work with secure payment processors who handle the heavy lifting here.

Improvement & Analytics

Understanding how people use our facility and website, identifying popular programs, improving our services, optimizing class schedules based on demand.

Legal Compliance

Meeting regulatory requirements, responding to legal requests, protecting our rights and the safety of our community.

Who We Share Data With

We're not in the business of selling your info. But there are a few situations where we need to share data with trusted partners:

Service Providers

Payment processors, email service providers, scheduling software, cloud storage - basically the tech that keeps our operations running smoothly. These folks are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Professional Partners

Sometimes we'll refer you to sports medicine professionals, physiotherapists, or nutritionists. We'll only share relevant health info with your explicit consent.

Legal Requirements

If the law requires it - court orders, regulatory compliance, protecting someone's safety - we may need to disclose information. We'll always notify you unless legally prohibited.

What we DON'T do: Sell your data to advertisers, share your personal info with random third parties, or use your health data for anything beyond your training and safety.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies aren't just delicious snacks - they're also tiny files that help websites work better. Here's what we use:

Essential Cookies

Keep you logged in, remember your cart, enable basic site functionality. These are non-negotiable for the site to work.

Performance Cookies

Track how people use our site so we can fix bugs and improve navigation. All anonymous stuff.

Preference Cookies

Remember your settings, language preferences, and customization choices between visits.

Marketing Cookies

Track which ads brought you here and help us show relevant content. You can disable these in your browser settings.

Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. Just know that blocking some cookies might break certain features on our site.

Data Security

We take security as seriously as we take your cold exposure training - which is to say, very seriously. Your data's protected through multiple layers:

  • Encryption: Data transmitted to and from our site uses SSL/TLS encryption - same stuff banks use
  • Secure Storage: Your info lives on protected servers with restricted access and regular security audits
  • Password Protection: We encrypt your passwords so even we can't see them (which is how it should be)
  • Staff Training: Our team's trained on privacy best practices and only accesses data when necessary for their job
  • Regular Updates: We keep our security measures current as new threats emerge
  • Access Controls: Strict protocols about who can view or modify sensitive information

That said, no system's 100% bulletproof. We do everything we can to protect your data, but if there's ever a breach, we'll notify you ASAP and take immediate action to minimize damage.

Your Privacy Rights

This is YOUR data, and you've got rights. Here's what you can do:

1
Access Your Data

Request a copy of all the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide it in a readable format.

2
Correct Inaccuracies

Found wrong info in your profile? Tell us and we'll fix it right away.

3
Delete Your Data

Want to be forgotten? Request deletion of your personal information (though we might need to keep some records for legal reasons).

4
Opt-Out of Marketing

Unsubscribe from promotional emails anytime. There's an unsubscribe link in every marketing email we send.

5
Restrict Processing

Ask us to limit how we use your data in certain situations.

6
Data Portability

Get your data in a format you can transfer to another service provider.

How to Exercise Your Rights: Email us at info@cryovorncitadel.info or call (604) 555-0187. We'll respond within 30 days, though we'll usually get back to you way faster than that.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We don't hoard your information forever. Here's our retention approach:

Data Type Retention Period
Active Membership Data Duration of membership plus 2 years after termination
Financial Records 7 years (tax and accounting requirements)
Health & Safety Info 7 years after last session (liability protection)
Training Records 3 years after last session
Marketing Preferences Until you unsubscribe or request deletion
Website Analytics 26 months

After these periods, we'll either delete your data or anonymize it so it can't be linked back to you. Some records we're legally required to keep longer - we can't delete those even if you ask, but they're stored securely and accessed only when absolutely necessary.

Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for adults and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16 without parental consent. If you're a parent or guardian and discover your kid's given us personal info without permission, contact us immediately and we'll delete it.

For youth programs (ages 16-18), we require explicit parental consent and a parent or guardian must sign all waivers and health forms. We take extra care with health data for younger members, especially regarding cryotherapy and high-intensity training protocols.

Changes to This Policy

Privacy laws evolve, our services change, and sometimes we need to update this policy. When we do, we'll post the new version here with an updated "Last Updated" date at the top.

For minor changes (like clarifying wording), we'll just update the policy. For major changes that affect your rights or how we handle data, we'll send you an email notification and possibly ask for renewed consent where required by law.

We recommend checking this page occasionally, especially if you're concerned about privacy. The date at the top tells you when we last made changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common privacy questions

Nope, absolutely not. We don't sell, rent, or trade your personal info to anyone. Period. The only time your data leaves our hands is when we're working with service providers who help us run the business (like payment processors), and they're bound by strict confidentiality agreements. Your trust means more to us than any quick buck from data brokers.
