Privacy Policy
We have created this privacy policy to demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy, and to disclose our information-gathering and dissemination practices. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this privacy policy shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Terms and Conditions. This privacy policy is here to tell you about, among other things:
the information we collect through any of our Site(s) and through telemarketing, website and mobile applications and other means;
how we use the information we collect;
how you can opt-out of certain uses of the information we collect; and
how we can make changes to this privacy policy.
Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this privacy policy by contacting us at info@forgedgym.com
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
In collecting your personal information, we aim to provide you with a more customized experience. This information lets us provide services and features that we think are more likely to meet your needs. Of course, users may be able to use our products or services, or browse our Site(s) without providing any personal information, but once you give us this personal information, you are not anonymous to us, and we consider that you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this policy.
Forged Fitness collects the following types of information when you visit our Site(s):
Personal Information:
This is information that may be used to identify you individually, including your name, shipping and billing addresses, phone number, email address, credit card information and date of birth. We request this information from you on and off our Site(s), for example, when you call us, sign up for our newsletter, visit or subscribe to our Site(s), use our mobile or web applications or purchase an item or service.
From time to time, we may also request or obtain personal information about you and your interests through surveys, contest/sweepstakes entry forms, our mobile applications, social media platforms, or in other ways. You may always choose not to provide us with your personal information; however, this may limit our ability to provide you with specific products, services or information, or to offer you personalized content.
Non-personal Information:
This is information which we do not associate with individuals, such as IP addresses (a number that can be used to identify your location and Internet Service Provider), the type of browser or device you are using, and aggregated information about user activities on our Site(s), including the URL from which you came to our Site(s) and the URLs that you visited on our Site(s).
Information We Obtain from Other Sources:
We may collect information about you from other sources, including through interactive applications (such as mobile devices/applications and third-party services) and from commercially available sources (such as data aggregators and public databases). For example, if you access third-party services (such as Facebook) through or in connection with our Site(s), we collect information available about you through those services, including, but not limited to, personal information as well as publicly observable data, such as activities on blogs, videos, and other online postings.
Cookies:
We also use a feature of your browser called a “cookie” to assign identification to your computer that may be placed by us or a third party with whom we partner. Cookies allow us to better understand your preferences and personalize the content on our Site(s) to give you a better overall experience. The unique user ID contained within your cookie automatically identifies your computer—but not you—to our servers every time you visit our Site(s). Cookies by themselves cannot be used to find out the identity of any user, but may be combined with identity information in our log files. You can turn off the cookie feature by using your browser preference options, but you may not be able to utilize some of the features or services on our Site(s) properly. Current versions of many Web browsers offer enhanced user controls for the placement and duration of cookies. Search for “cookies” under your web browser’s help menu for more information on the cookie management features available to you.
Pixel Tags:
We may also collect information through the use of “pixel tags” on our Site(s) and in email messages we may send to you that may be placed by us or a third party with whom we partner. Pixel tags, also known as “web beacons,” are tiny graphic files, not visible to the human eye, that are included in HTML-encoded email messages. When such a message is opened in an HTML-capable email program, the recipient’s computer will access our server to retrieve the pixel tag file, allowing us to record and store, along with the recipient’s email address, the date and time the recipient viewed the email message, the fact that the recipient’s email program is capable of receiving HTML-encoded email, and other standard logging information. The pixel tag may also see or read cookies. Forged Fitness may use pixel tags in order to measure and understand traffic better, to track visitor behavior to improve user experience, and for tracking promotional and marketing campaign response, among others. You can disable the pixel tag feature by changing your browser settings to omit images and disable Javascript; or there are commercial software packages available that can omit pixel tags and most advertisements.
Targeted Advertising; Do Not Track Signals:
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal that is a HTTP header field indicating your preference regarding tracking or cross-site user tracking. Although we’re currently unable to honour DNT signals, we do not collect personal information when you visit our Site(s) unless you provide such information to us. We also work with third parties that use tracking technologies on our Site(s) in order to provide tailored advertisements on our behalf and/or on behalf of other advertisers across the Internet. These companies may collect information about your activity on our sites and your interaction with our advertising and other communications, and use this information to determine which ads you see on third-party websites and applications. For more information about this practice and to understand your options, please visitwww.youradchoices.com (U.S.), www.youradchoices.ca (Canada) or the Network Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org.

By visiting any of our Site(s) and providing us with data, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be processed for the purposes identified in this policy. In addition, such data may be transferred and stored on servers located in Canada or otherwise outside your resident jurisdiction; such jurisdictions may have less stringent privacy practices than your own. Our third-party service providers may also be located outside of your jurisdiction. By providing us with your data, you consent to the transfer of such data. Personal information that is transferred or maintained outside of your jurisdiction could be accessible to law enforcement agencies according to the laws of the applicable foreign country.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MY INFORMATION IF FORGED FITNESS IS SOLD TO OR MERGES WITH ANOTHER COMPANY?
It is possible that Forged Fitness and/or any of our assets may be acquired by an unrelated third party. In such a transaction, as the owner of this customer information, we may disclose or sell the information as an asset of the company in conjunction with the sale of our company or the sale of a portion of our assets to a third party. While we will endeavour to require the successor company to maintain this privacy policy, we cannot guarantee that our policy will remain in effect.
