Privacy Policy
Privacy and the protection of personal information is important to Underdog Boxing Gym. This Privacy Policy describes the information we may collect about you through your interactions with us, including through the Underdog Boxing Gym website(s) (“Website”), our mobile application(s) (“App”), our social media site(s) (“Social Media Site”), or the products and services we offer, as may be revised (collectively, “Services”). The Privacy Policy also describes how we may use and share your personal information collected through the Services.
- YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF AND CONSENT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
There are different types of information that are subject to this Privacy Policy. Some of the information we collect may be “personal information,” meaning information that identifies you as an individual either alone or in combination with some other type of information that we collect. Other information subject to this Privacy Policy may be non-personal, meaning it does not, in and of itself, personally identify you – for example, an IP address. This Privacy Policy applies to the various types of information we might collect from or about you through the Services.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we might use this information, the third parties with whom we might share this information, and your choices in controlling your own personal information.
This Privacy Policy supplements and shall be made part of that separate Terms of Use which governs your access to and use of our Services. By choosing to interact with Underdog Boxing Gym through our Services, you voluntarily and knowingly consent and agree to the privacy practices described herein.
- CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy laws and best practices change frequently. We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy, at any time with or without prior notice by posting a revised version of the Privacy Policy on our Website or in the App. Your continued use of Services after the time of any such change shall constitute your acceptance and agreement with any such changes. You can always find the most current, up-to-date version of the Privacy Policy on our Website at the link titled “Privacy” or “Privacy Policy.” The Privacy Policy then posted on the Website shall replace all previous versions.
- INFORMATION THAT WE MAY COLLECT ABOUT YOU
We collect a variety of personal information from and about you through the Services, including:
- Information you provide to us yourself. We may collect the information you manually provide to us when using our Services. Information you provide and that we collect may include information collected during your account creation process; your completion of a questionnaire or survey; your communications with us (directly or indirectly); your sign-up for an event, sweepstakes or fitness challenge; your survey or form submission; your emergency contact information; your uploaded images; your written testimonials or message board submissions; information submitted in the course of applying for employment; your placing an order for products or services through our Website or the App; or any other direct form of interaction you might have with us. Personal information that you might manually provide us could include your name, gender, username, password, date of birth, address, phone number, order history, fitness goals, or payment information (such as a credit card number);
- Information that we collect about you from third-party sources. We may receive information about you from other sources, including through third-party services and organisations, to supplement information provided by you. For example, if you access our Services through a third-party application, such as the Apple App Store or Google Play App Store, or social media sites such as Facebook, we may collect information about you from that third-party application that you have made public via your privacy settings. We may also collect information about you from our third-party service providers such as MindBody, our provider for studio management software services.
- Information collected about you from your browser or device. We collect information about you that is sent to us automatically by your web browser or mobile device. This type of information typically includes your IP address, your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the internet service provider, the date and time of your visit to our Website, and the Website pages that you visited. The specific information that we may receive about you will depend on your browser and/or device settings. The information that we receive about you from your browser or device is not considered personally identifiable information; however, we might use this information in the aggregate to help us improve our Services or make our chosen technologies more compatible with the preferences of our visitors. We may combine browser or device data with other types of information to make it personally identifiable; for example, in the event of an unauthorised intrusion into our system we may share server logs (which include IP addresses) with the authorities investigating the matter to trace the source to an identifiable person.
- Information Collected by Cookies and Other Technologies. We use “cookies” and other technologies to collect information and support certain features of our Services. For example, we may use these technologies to: (a) collect information about the ways visitors use our Website (which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page); (b) support the features and functionality of the Website or the App (for example, to save you the trouble of reentering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits); (c) personalise your experience when you use our Services; and (d) improve our marketing efforts, including through use of targeted advertising. The information we collect using cookies and similar technologies is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable, but we may link it to personal information that you provide. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit our Website, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of the Website if your browser rejects our cookies.
- How we use geolocation data.If you use our App, we may request permission to know your location so that we can better provide you with location-specific information (such as an Underdog Boxing Gym studio nearby, studio hours, class schedules, etc.). If you consent to and permit the geolocating request, then the App will use the technology services tied to your mobile device (like GPS, Bluetooth, your device identifier, your IP address, cell tower locations) to collect and use real-time data to locate your precise geographical location in the world. We maintain location data records for as long as necessary to deliver the services that you have requested. You can update geolocation settings in your mobile device to always be running in the background, or you can disable them, either for one app in particular or for all of them.

- HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
Some of the above uses of your information may involve sharing collected data with third parties, including service providers, affiliates and other partners. Specifically, we may share your information:
- As Requested or Consented to by You. We may share information collected through our Services if you specifically request it, whether through the Services or through other channels.
- With Third-Party Vendors. We may share information collected through our Services with third-party vendors who act for us or on our behalf. For example, we may use third-party vendors to design and/or manage the Website and/or the App. We also contract with a third-party vendor to manage and operate the studio management technology platform. These third-party vendors may need information about you to perform their functions for us.
- With Other Carefully Selected Business Partners. From time to time, we may share your information with selected third parties for their own marketing purposes. For example, we may partner with third parties to sponsor contests or other promotions, and we may share with these third parties the information you submit to us to participate in the contest or take advantage of the promotion. Before doing so, however, we will offer you the opportunity to “opt out” or “opt in,” as required by applicable law.
- In Aggregate or De-Identified Form. We use information collected through our Services to create a compiled, aggregate view of usage patterns. We may share aggregate information with third parties so they can better understand our user base. We may also share with third parties information about how particular individuals use our Services, but only on a de-identified basis (“Individualised Data”). Individualised Data is not personally identifiable, but it does reflect the usage patterns of a particular user of the Website or App, as opposed to Website or App users collectively.
- To Comply with Applicable Laws. We may disclose your information when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order, a subpoena, or a law enforcement request.
- To Protect our Rights and/or the Rights of Others.We may also disclose your information to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to protect the security of our Services; or to protect our own rights or property or the rights, property or safety of our users or others.

- HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION
We may retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfil our business purposes and as is required or permitted under applicable laws.
- HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We use reasonable physical, technical, and organisational safeguards designed to promote the security of our systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of personal information.
- HOW WE USE COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS
Cookies are small data files placed onto your device when you visit a site which allows our services to distinguish you from other users, allow the services to work properly, as well as to help monitor advertising effectiveness. Web beacons work similar to cookies, however, instead of a file stored on your computer, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages. We use cookies, web beacons, tags, and other similar tracking technologies to track when you visit the Website or App (collectively, “Cookies”). We also allow third parties to place Cookies on our services to assist with advertising.
How We Use Cookies
There are several reasons we use Cookies. Some Cookies are necessary for technical reasons and help our services to operate as intended for your benefit (“Essential Cookies”), such as access to secure areas of the services. Other types of Cookies are used for analytical purposes such as evaluating the way our services are used, or the effectiveness of our advertising, and to customise or personalise advertising to you (“Analytical Cookies”). While these types of Cookies help us to create new features, improve on our existing services, and provide advertisements of interest to you, our services can function without them. We also use Cookies in HTML emails to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
Controlling Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising
You can exercise your Cookie preferences by activating the setting on your web browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some Cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all Cookies, including Essential Cookies, you may not be able to access or use all or parts of our Services. If you have not adjusted your browser setting to refuse cookies, our system will issue Cookies as soon as you visit our services. Blocking or deleting Cookies will not prevent device identification and related data collection from occurring when you access our services. Turning off Analytical Cookies will prevent the ability to measure the relevance and effectiveness of our services, emails, and marketing as well as to show you tailored marketing. Other marketing will still be displayed when you use our services.
How We Use Analytics
We work with service providers (including Google Analytics) who conduct analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use our Website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google that uses Cookies to help us analyse how users use our Website. The information generated by the Cookies about your use of the services will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States or in Europe. If you access our Website through different devices, Google may associate your devices with one another. Google has developed the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on which you may download by clicking here. Please note that the Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to us.
Interest-Based Advertising
Some companies may use information collected on our Website or App to deliver advertisements on our behalf or on behalf of other companies, targeted to your interests and preferences, on our Website or on other websites or applications you may visit, or on your devices, or on your social media feed and to gauge effectiveness of those advertisements. If you would like to opt-out of having interest-based information collected by certain entities during your visits to our Website or other websites, please click here. You will be directed to an industry-developed website that contains mechanisms for choosing whether each listed entity may collect and use data for online behavioural advertising purposes. It may be that some of the third parties that collect interest-based information on our website do not participate in the industry-developed opt-out website, in which case the best way to avoid third-party tracking of your online behaviours may be through your browser settings and deletion of cookies. Opting out from interest-based advertising from one or more advertising networks will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Services or on other websites or applications. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your web browser is configured to reject cookies when you opt out, your opt out may not be effective.
- LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
This Privacy Policy applies only to our Services. As a convenience, we may reference or provide links to third-party websites and services, including those of unaffiliated third parties, our service providers and third parties with whom we do business (including third-party platform providers, social media sites such as Facebook, Vimeo, Instagram, Twitter, Google Maps, job application sites, and Amazon Web Services) (collectively, “Third-Party Sites”). We do not control any Third-Party Sites and are not responsible for the contents, nature, or privacy practices of any Third-Party Sites. Any access to and use of the Third-Party Sites is not governed by this Privacy Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those Third-Party Sites. If you choose to interact with the Third-Party Sites, you should review the applicable privacy policy, as the Third-Party Sites’ privacy practices may differ from ours. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIVACY PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SITES.
- ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION
If you would like to review, correct, modify and/or update the personal information you have provided to us through our Services, please make the changes yourself through your account associated with our Services or contact us at the information provided below. We will respond to your request where required by and within the time limit set out by the applicable privacy legislation. We will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request, as required by applicable law.
To protect your privacy, before we give you access or let you update your information, we may ask you to verify your identity or provide additional information. We may reject a request for a number of reasons, including, for example, that the request risks the privacy of other users, requires technical efforts that are disproportionate to the request, is repetitive, is unlawful, or can be accomplished by you through your account.
- YOUR CHOICES
We will respect your right to make choices about the ways we collect, use, and disclose your information. This Privacy Policy describes some of your choices, such as your choice to opt out of receiving “cookies.” We may ask you to indicate your choices at the time and on the page where you provide your information.
