Anonymous data (relating to your computer/device, not to you personally) is also collected whenever someone visits our website. This uses the Google Analytics service (see below), and it also involves the use of cookies (see below).
What information is collected?
For membership inquiries and our mailing list, we will only collect the minimum information required for the purposes of being able to contact you. When entering into a contract with us regarding our services at our facilities or online, we will, in addition, also process details of your visits to our site and any information you may provide us whilst using our products and services. The main information we collect include:

- Your address for identification purposes.
- Your DNI/NIE/ and date of birth, for identification purposes.

- Biometric data, such as your fingerprint (only collected subject to prior consent, see “Your consent” below) for entry purposes at our facilities.
- Health/medical information as provided by you (only collected subject to prior consent, see “Your consent” below), in order for us to provide our personal training and custom-made services to you.
- Records of your visits to our facilities, including records of your participations in group training and personal training classes.
The anonymous data relating to website traffic is limited to details of the device or connection being used to access our website (including the IP address of your computer, the country the connection is made from, the browser, etc.) and a record of the pages visited, plus the time spent on each page.
Where do we store your information?
The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of orders or purchases, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. THE I/O will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely, in compliance with applicable data protection regulations and in accordance with this privacy policy.
How do we use your information?
When you contact us, sign up for our newsletter, make a purchase, or enter into a contract with us, your data is only used for the corresponding purposes. We will not pass your contact details and other personal data to a third party.
Some data will also be used for internal record keeping (e.g. for the accounts that we are legally obliged to maintain), and to help us assess how to improve the services that we offer. We will also use your data to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including notifications about changes to our services.
Anonymous data collected from cookies is used purely to compile statistics regarding the website traffic so that we can judge how well the website is performing. The data is collected and the statistics are compiled using the Google Analytics service.

Who has access to your information?
We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, including its employees.
We may disclose your personal information to third parties in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
We may also disclose your personal information if THE I/O or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.
In some cases we may need to disclose your personal information to suppliers we rely on in order for us to successfully provide our services to you, for instance regarding our entrance system (Gantner Gmbh), CRM-system (BRP Systems AB), IT-supplier (Iver Sverige AB) and payment service provider (Nets A/S). Through data processing agreements, we ensure that our suppliers only process your personal information on behalf of us according to the permitted purpose and according to the data minimization principle under the applicable data protection regulations.
Furthermore, we may disclose your personal information if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use or terms and conditions of supply and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of clients of THE I/O, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Finally, we may pass on some general statistical information about our clients, sales figures, traffic patterns and related matters to reputable third parties, but these details will not include any personally identifying information.

We will not contact you for marketing purposes by email, phone, or text message unless you have given your prior consent. You can change your marketing preferences at any time by contacting us by email: info@theio.com.
We may ask for sensitive data (such as biometric data, your health data and medical history), for entrance system purposes and when providing personal training and custom-made services to you. We will, however, not collect or process such data without obtaining your prior consent.
Your fingerprint data is only collected for the purpose of allowing you to access our facilities. Your fingerprint is collected by us only once and immediately encrypted and stored locally on your membership card and only processed when you access our facilities.
