Our approach to privacy
We want people, both adults and children 8 and older, who visit our site to be able
to take part fully in the activities and offers we provide. We also want to make
sure that when we collect information from users we do so in a way that does not
infringe upon yours or your child's right to privacy. This Privacy Policy is designed
to give you useful information about your rights and the way we collect and use
personal information.
Children under 13 years of age
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") requires us to inform parents
and legal guardians about how our site collects, uses and discloses personal information
that is collected from children under the age of 13 who use the GetFitTN.com web
site. COPPA also requires that we obtain consent of parents/guardians in order for
children under 13 years of age to use certain features of the GetFitTN.com web site.
Following is an explanation of how we comply with these COPPA requirements.
Children can view many features, photos and information and use some of the tools
on the GetFitTn.com web site without providing any personal information. In order
to use the FitnessTracker, which may result in children providing personal information,
we request that children get their parent/legal guardian's permission. We do not
ask any user to disclose any more information than is reasonably necessary to enable
them to use the FitnessTracker tools and to ensure that our web site is in keeping
with our user's needs. Below, we discuss the information that is collected and how
it is handled for all users, regardless of age.
Older children
Those who fall within the age range of 13 to 18 can create a membership on this
site by giving their personal consent. We encourage anyone who is under the age
of 18 to get their parent's or legal guardian's consent before creating a membership
and to fully read this Privacy Policy.
The information we collect and how we use it
We do not disclose personal information we have collected from you or your child
through this web site to third parties. Besides what we describe in this Privacy
Policy, we do not maintain any personal information obtained from users through
this web site in a retrievable form. When you want to create a membership on our
web site, this is the information we ask for and how we use it:
To sign up for a membership, we ask for your name, your age category, your gender,
your email address (or parent's email address for those under age 13), and your
county of residence. This information is important for tracking your fitness progress
against others who are in your age, gender or county category when entered into
online fitness competitions.
If you enter health goals and health check-in information, we ask you for your weight
and/or number of cigarettes smoked. This is used for you to track your progress
against your weight or smoking cessation goals. We do not share this information
with anyone—it is used only for your ability to track your own progress against
goals you have set.
Occasionally, GetFitTN.com may aggregate a user's non-identifying information with
the information from other users. This aggregated, non-identifying data may be disclosed
to third parties, including but not limited to other GetFitTN.com users. By becoming
a member of GetFitTN, you have authorized GetFitTN.com to use all data, including
confidential medical data, provided to the website to achieve the purpose and goals
of the program.
When you establish a FitnessTracker membership on the GetFitTN.com web site, we
will send you a welcome email that will require you to click a link to activate
your membership. We will also periodically send you emails with update information
about the site or competitions you have entered. You can unsubscribe from these
periodic emails by advising us through the email link titled "UNSUBSCRIBE" at the
bottom of each email. If you are entered into a Team competition, your Team members
have the ability to send you emails by clicking on your User Name in the Team Roster
tab of the web site.
GetFitTN.com owns all Personal Information provided to it by individuals. When an
individual provides Medical Information to the web site, the individual acknowledges
his/her assignment of the right to use the data to the web site.
