What Personal Data do we collect (including by automated means)?
We may ask for and collect your Personal Data (either directly through your use of the Platform or when you communicate with us in any other way, or indirectly through our third party partners or providers) in a number of ways to provide you with the products or services that you request – please refer to Section 3 below for more information on how we use your Personal Data. We may also collect information from you automatically when you visit our Platform – for more information, please refer to our Cookie Policy available at the following webpage: https://lean-squad.com/cookie-policy
"Personal Data" has the meaning given in the Data Privacy Law applicable to you, and includes any information or opinion relating to you which allows us to identify you, such as your name, phone number, social media name or ‘handle’, postal address, email address, details of products or services you have purchased, payment details and information about your access to our website.
Specifically, we may (either directly or indirectly) collect the following categories of Personal Data:
first and last names, email address and date of birth (these are mandatory information which we require when opening a user account on the Platform ("User Account"));
other information such as country of residence and gender, home address and telephone number;
health information (as described further below) including health information generated by the devices (e.g. smart watches, heart monitors) that you connect to the LEANSQUAD App;

information about your use of the Platform;

where you have selected particular services or features on the Platform (e.g. scheduling your workouts, sharing your fitness activities with friends through social media platforms), your photos, audio, contacts and calendar information, as well as your social network information (including credentials and any information from your public posts about LEANSQUAD or your communications with us);
when you have elected to sign up and log into the Platform using a third-party account you created (e.g. through Facebook or Apple), information you have agreed to make available to us (e.g. name, email address, profile information, preferences); and
your location where:
the IP address of your computer or device is used to determine your geographic location so that we can customize your experience on the Platform (e.g. language settings); and
you elect to use location-based features on the Platform (in particular, the LEANSQUAD App) and turn on the location services settings on your device or computer (e.g. GPS and/or Bluetooth) so that we can track your real-time geographic location to record your fitness activities (for example, your running route).
Health Information – Users may choose to enter health information into the LEANSQUAD App, like their height or weight, or, in specific circumstances designed to protect the user, whether they are pregnant. LEANSQUAD may use or otherwise infer information about your health, including information about your medical conditions or requirements, as well as data on your physical characteristics from this information.
For users in jurisdictions that require it (Europe, the UK, Australia, Canada, etc.), LEANSQUAD requires explicit consent from users before they can add their health data (like height and weight) into the App. You can remove your health information at any time within the Profile Menu in the LEANSQUAD App. Removing your health information will not prohibit you from using the LEANSQUAD App, but please note some functionality across the Platform, like personalized recipe breakdowns, will be disabled or may not function properly.
Linked Devices – Users may choose to connect a third party device (like an Apple Watch or fitness tracker) and enable that device to share location data (e.g. running route), fitness activity, or health information (e.g. heart rate, steps, water intake) it collects with LEANSQUAD. You can manage what data your device shares with LEANSQUAD in the settings panel or relevant application (e.g. Apple Health) on that device.
Children – Users must be of legal age in their respective countries and not under 16 years old, or you must have consent from your parent or guardian. By signing up to the LEANSQUAD App and agreeing to the Terms and Conditions, you expressly consent that you are over the age of 16 or are of legal age in your respective country
Why and how do we use your Personal Data?
Your Personal Data may be used for the following purposes:
3.1 Provide features of the Platform and the products and services you request:
We use the Personal Data you give us to provide the Platform and the products and services you request, including:
to create and set up your User Account;
to fulfil any orders for products that you place on the Platform, including to communicate with you about the orders and to process information for our internal accounting, billing and audit purposes;
if you use the Platform to track your fitness activity, we will collect and store this information so that you can review it on the Platform and track your progress. We may also use this information to calculate further information about your activity so that this can be provided to you as part of the functionality of the Platform;
if you choose to post in the Squads, the information that you share will be public information that can be accessed by anyone whether or not they are a part of the LEANSQUAD community. As the information posted to the Squads is public information, it will also be indexed and accessible via third party internet search engines, websites and apps. For further information about how content posted in the Squads is publicly available, please refer to our Terms & Conditions.
3.2 Communicate information about our products and services and for other promotional purposes:
With your consent, or as otherwise permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law, we will use your Personal Data to provide information that we believe is of interest to you, prior to, during, and after your interactions with us, including marketing communications and news concerning our products, services, events and other promotions. You can opt-out at any time after you have given your consent to such communications. In providing tailored promotional materials to you, LEANSQUAD may use the personal information collected through your use of the Platform, such as the user preferences you set and profile data you submit, any fitness activity data generated through your use of the Platform, and any medical conditions or dietary preferences that you have identified to us.
3.3 Customer service communications:
We use your data to manage our relationship with you as our customer and to improve our services and enhance your experience with us (e.g. to respond to your inquiries when you reach out to us). From time to time, we may also conduct customer surveys to gauge satisfaction with our Platform and the services and products that we provide.
3.4 Administrative or legal purposes:
We use your Personal Data to operate our business, including for statistical and marketing analysis, systems testing and to diagnose technical and service problems, maintenance and development of our Platform, or in order to deal with a dispute or claim. We may also perform data analysis based on the data we collect from you for statistical and marketing analysis purposes – for example, we may use information about how users of our Platform search for and find specific workouts to better understand the best ways to organise and present the content that we offer.
3.5 Security, health, administrative, crime prevention/detection and legal purposes:
We may use your Personal Data to verify your information and identity, and to protect against, identify and prevent fraud and other unlawful activities. We may also share your Personal Data with government authorities or enforcement bodies for compliance with legal requirements, or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law.
3.6 Other purposes:
We may also use your Personal Data in other ways, and where we do so, we will provide specific notice at the time of collection and obtain your consent unless otherwise permitted by applicable Data Privacy Law.
We will only process your personal data where we have a legal basis to do so, which will depend on the reasons for which we have collected and need to use your personal data. In most cases we will need to process your personal data so that we can enter into contracts with you under our terms of use (when orders for products are made), and to fulfil the provision or delivery of goods or services to you on the Platform (including subscriptions to the Platform).
Our processing of your Personal Data for the above purposes is done pursuant to the following legal basis:
to comply with a legal obligation;
the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, such as providing you with our services on the Platform;
if it is in our legitimate interests to do so as a business (e.g., for administrative purposes or to improve the functionality of our Platform);
where you have consented to our using your personal data (e.g., for the collection of data pertaining to your health status or marketing related uses);
where you have made such information public; and
to protect your vital interests or those of another person (e.g. in case of a medical emergency).
Where we receive your Personal Data as part of providing our services to you based on a contract, we require such Personal Data to be able to carry out the contract. Without that necessary Personal Data, we will not be able to provide our services to you.
Personal details including about your nationality or physical or mental health are considered “sensitive” Personal Data under applicable Data Privacy Law. We will process any such data only if you have given your explicit consent, or it is necessary (for instance, if you request special assistance), or if the sensitive Personal Data has been manifestly made public by you (e.g., by posting information about your health/fitness status in the LEANSQUAD Squads), or otherwise in compliance with applicable Data Privacy Law.
The Platform may require information about your physical health to provide certain functions or services, including when you use or interact with a wearable or other connected device that integrates with the Platform or to accurately display your meal plan preferences. If you choose not to provide certain health information, some functions or services within the Platform may be unavailable or not function properly.
You may withdraw your consent for LEANSQUAD’s processing of your health information in the Profile Menu in the LEANSQUAD App at any time. You can manage what data your device shares with LEANSQUAD in the settings panel or relevant application (e.g. Apple Health) on that device. As described more fully below, you may always contact us at the details in Section 12 below with any questions or requests about your Personal Data.
How do we protect and manage your Personal Data?
4.1 Encryption and security
We follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your Personal Data, which are designed to protect it against misuse, unauthorized access, modification or disclosure and accidental loss, destruction or damage. The data you provide to us is protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. SSL is the industry standard method of encrypting Personal Data and credit card details so that they can be securely transferred over the internet.
4.3 Retention of your Personal Data
We will not retain your data for longer than is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it is being processed. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the purposes for which we process it, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
We also consider the periods for which we might need to retain personal data in order to meet our legal obligations, or to deal with complaints and queries, and to protect our legal rights in the event of a claim being made.
In general, this means that we will likely keep your Personal Data for as long as your User Account is open. Following closure of your User Account, however, we may still retain a limited portion of your Personal Data so that we can maintain a continuous relationship with you if and when we are in contact with you again, and to comply with our internal processes and any legal obligations.
When we no longer need your personal data, we will securely delete or destroy it. We will also consider if and how we can minimize over time the personal data that we use, and if we can fully anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you or identify you, in which case we may use that information without further notice to you.
Information that you have shared in the Squads will remain public even after you have closed your Squads account. Where you choose to delete content that you have posted to the Squads, the information will not be deleted from third party websites, apps or internet search engine indexes instantly as removal of the content depends on third party policies.
Who do we share your Personal Data with?
We may share your Personal Data with the following people for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:
other companies and members within the LEANSQUAD group;
where you have selected particular services or features on the Platform (e.g. scheduling your workouts, sharing your fitness activities with friends through social media platforms), other Users of the Platform;
our trusted third party ancillary partners (identified on our website), who may offer products and services on or through our Platform. If you choose to purchase products or services offered on our Platform by third parties, you may be a customer of both LEANSQUAD and these third parties, and we and our partners may collect and share information about you, such as your contact details and your billing information. We are not responsible for third parties’ use of your personal data where such use is permitted for their own purposes. You should consult their privacy policies for further information;
third party social media platforms in various circumstances, including where:
you are able to access third party social media services through our Platform or before coming to our Platform;
you connect your User Account to your social media account, in which case we will receive from the social media platform the Personal Data you choose to share, based on the preferences and settings on your social media account. We will use this information in order to improve and personalize your use of our Platform;
third party social media sites have placed cookies or pixels on our website; and
we use social media plugins on our Platform (e.g. a “share” or “like” button), and your use of these plugins, may result in the disclosure of certain of your information to the social media platform in question, and possibly presented on your social media profile, to be shared with others in your network – however, we will only share your Personal Data with these social media platforms if you have provided your express consent for us to do so.
Please refer to the privacy policy of those third-party social media platforms to find out more about these practices;
other companies, contractors or agents that assist us in providing services to you, including our online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell and deliver our products and services to you (which may include Shopify), support ticketing (which may include Zendesk), legal services, debt collection, administration services, customer services and information technology support;
only where you have provided consent, other companies, contractors or agents in connection with our marketing efforts, or marketing platform providers;
credit and debit card companies which facilitate your payments to us, and for anti-fraud screening, which may need information about your method of payment to process payment or ensure the security of your payment transaction. These may include third party payment gateway providers, including at www.stripe.com or www.paypal.com or www.apple.com. Before entering your personal details we suggest that you read and become familiar with the privacy policy for any such third-party provider;
government authorities, law enforcement bodies and regulators for compliance with legal requirements, or where otherwise required by applicable Data Privacy Law; and
our legal and other professional advisers in order to enforce our legal rights in relation to our contract with you.
Where you choose to post information in the Squads, the information that you share will be public information which can be viewed by anyone (whether or not they are a part of our community). Information posted in the Squads will be indexed to third party internet search engines (such as Google), websites and apps. For further information about how information posted in the Squads is used, please refer to our Terms & Conditions
We may also transfer your Personal Data to potential buyers in the event that we sell or transfer all of a part of our business or assets (including in the event of a reorganization or dissolution / liquidation), under strict non-disclosure restrictions, and solely in order to allow a buyer to determine whether to proceed with the transaction, or where such a determination is made, to complete it.

You may appoint an authorized agent to exercise any of your privacy rights on your behalf, if the authorized agent is a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State of California.
To appoint an authorized agent, you must also sign a written declaration giving the authorized agent permission to act on your behalf., or you can appoint such agent via a power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465.
To verify that your authorized agent acts on your behalf, we will ask for this written permission from your agent or for the power of attorney. In case you provided your authorized agent with a written permission, we will require that you also verify your identity and we may also ask you to directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
We will deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.
