1. Who is responsible for processing your Personal Data?

9. your location where the IP address of your computer or device is used to determine your geographic location so that we can customise your experience on the Platform (e.g. language settings);

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 otherwise in compliance with applicable Data Privacy Law. 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.

3. Why and how do we use your Personal Data?
   Your Personal Data may be used for the following purposes:
1. 3.1 Provide features of the Platform and the products and services you request:
1. to create and set up your User Account;
2. 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;
3. 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; and
2. 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, Shelley Darlington Pty Ltd 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. 3.3 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.


4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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:
1. to comply with a legal obligation;
2. if it is in our legitimate interests to do so as a business (e.g. for administrative purposes) and to improve the functionality of our Platform;
3. where you have consented to our using your personal data (e.g. for marketing related uses); and
4. to protect your vital interests or those of another person (e.g. in case of a medical emergency).
4. How do we protect and manage your Personal Data (including international transfers and retention periods)?
1. 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, unauthorised 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 information and credit card details so that they can be securely transferred over the internet.
2. 4.2 International transfers of your Personal Data
   Shelley Darlington Pty Ltd operates businesses in multiple jurisdictions, some of which are not located in the European Union or European Economic Area (EEA). The Personal Data that Shelley Darlington Pty Ltd collects from users will be stored in Australia and/or the United States of America and might also be shared with third party data recipients (e.g. e-commerce and logistics providers such as SendOwl) that are not located in the EEA, Australia or the United States of America. Therefore, the Personal Data that you provide to Shelley Darlington Pty Ltd may be transferred internationally to countries other than the country in which you initially provided your data. While countries outside the EEA do not always have strong data privacy laws, we take measures to protect your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy and in compliance with applicable Data Privacy Law. We also require all third party data recipients (including our service providers) to process your information in a secure manner and in accordance with the GDPR and other applicable Data Privacy Law (e.g. through the signing of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses).
3. 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 minimise over time the personal data that we use, and if we can anonymise 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.
5. 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:

4. 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 SendOwl), support ticketing, legal services, debt collection, administration services, customer services and information technology support;
