We are Crunch Holdings, LLC, a US company headquartered at 386 Park Avenue South, 15th Floor, New York, New York, and our wholly owned subsidiaries and affiliates in the United States, collectively referred to as “we” or “Crunch” in this Privacy Policy (“Policy”). Our fitness products and services (“Services”) help people achieve and sustain their health and fitness goals within a supportive community.
At Crunch, we respect your privacy. This privacy policy explains how Crunch may collect, use, and share information about you through its website or mobile application (collectively “Site”) and through offline channels including but not limited to our POS systems, telephone calls, in-person interactions or use of our facilities. This Policy is incorporated into and subject to the Terms of Use. Unless otherwise noted, your use of the Site and Services constitutes your agreement to Crunch using information about you in accordance with this Policy.
This Policy may change over time as we modify or expand our Site and Services. In the event we make material changes to the Policy, we will provide notice through the Site, and we suggest that you check from time to time to review how we treat your personal information (“PI”). You understand and agree that your continued use of the Site or Services after the effective date means that the collection, use, and sharing of your PI is subject to the updated Policy. Except to the extent we receive your authorization, or as permitted or required by applicable law, we will handle your PI in accordance with the terms of the Policy in effect at the time of the collection.

3. Marketing
Your email address. At Crunch, we respect your privacy concerns. If you give us your email address when you inquire about membership, request a free trial guest pass, reserve a new gym’s opening membership rate, enter a sweepstakes, or sign up for our content and newsletters, we will send you emails with your opt in permission about exclusive offers, news at Crunch and new club openings. If you have previously opted out of receiving emails from us, providing updated information will act as an 'opt back-in.' We also use pixel tracking on the emails we send. We use the information collected from these pixels for marketing purposes and to learn more about our audience. For example, these pixels help us determine information including how many people open our emails, click on links, the percentage of recipients who read email on their phones, etc. If you want to opt-out of receiving promotional emails, simply click on the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of our emails. Although we strive to update our email list as frequently as possible, you might receive another contact before we can remove you. Please note that you will continue to receive Member Services-related communications regarding your member account. Crunch may use any of your contact information held on file (including Email, Mailing, Phone, and Fax) to communicate for transactional purposes related to daily administrative activities such as freeze requests, online purchases, and important service alerts.
Your phone number. If you provide your mobile telephone number, we may use it for our text messaging program. For more information, please see our Terms of Use.
Please note that by signing up for text message communications, you expressly consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your mobile phone number and personal information as outlined in this Policy and as permitted or required by applicable law. With your consent, this includes sharing your mobile phone number with the specific affiliate(s) and related entities you have opted into for their marketing purposes. We may also share your mobile phone number with our service providers or subcontractors who support the services we provide. Your mobile phone number will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes without explicit consent.

We or third parties may use or disclose the information of members, former members, or prospective members to deliver emails, social media posts, etc. to you for our advertising partners, to enable other third parties to market to you, or to create advertising campaigns. This may include enriching information we collect about you with information from third parties.
Third Parties. From time to time, Crunch may make the services of third-party providers available to members and or members’ guests to enhance their Crunch experience. To do so, Crunch will provide the third-party provider with member or member’s guest data to enable the delivery of these services. Crunch does not warrant the quality of these services and does not guarantee that these services will remain available to members or member’s guests for any period of time.

Some of these cookies may be analytics cookies set by third parties that analyze how you use our Site.
Functionality/Personalization Cookies: These cookies help save information you have entered so that the Site can recognize you, remember your username, remember your choices such as font size and color or language, or personalize Site content when you return.

The Site uses Facebook meta pixels. This pixel is used for tracking and serving targeted ads. It tracks information such as your page view, view content, search, purchase information, sign up, download, submit form, or user information (IP address, browser information). While this data is anonymized, it is still linked to individual user profiles within Facebook’s ecosystem. This means that while the data shared with advertisers is aggregated and anonymized, Facebook itself retains the ability to connect this data to individual user accounts for targeted marketing.

We may provide links to websites or resources outside of our Site for your informational purposes only. We may also provide links to third-party integrations. Third-party integrations are websites or platforms that synchronize with our Site to provide you with additional functionality, tools, or services such as maps, sending requested information, etc. You acknowledge and agree we are not responsible for the availability of third-party sites, resources, or integrations and do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, goods, services, or other materials on, available through, or provided by such sites, resources, or integrations. We are not responsible for the privacy or other practices of such sites and cannot guarantee the security of personal information that you provide, or is collected by, such sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms and conditions on those linked sites.
8. How long do we retain your information?
We retain your PI for as long as necessary, such as to provide you products and Services or while you have an open membership with us. We may retain your PI for longer if it is necessary to comply with our legal or reporting obligations, resolve disputes, collect fees, etc. or as permitted or required by applicable law.
We may also retain your PI in a deidentified or aggregated form so that it can no longer be associated with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for your PI, we consider various factors such as the amount, nature, and sensitivity of your information; the potential risk of unauthorized access, use or disclosure; the purposes for which we process your PI; and applicable legal requirements.
9. How do we protect your information?
Crunch has implemented a comprehensive data privacy and security program, which includes reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to safeguard and protect the personal information we collect or you share with us. Independent third-party auditors have assessed Crunch‘s operations against recognized security standards and controls on a product-specific basis.
Any payment transactions are encrypted and handled through our third-party payment processors. We do not have access to, store or retain your full credit card number or related financial information.
You are responsible for keeping the password to your membership account confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
No system for safeguarding personal or other information is 100% secure. Even though we have taken steps to protect your PI from being intercepted, accessed, used, or disclosed by unauthorized persons, we cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with PI.
10. Mobile Apps
We offer a downloadable native member (iOS and Android) app (“App”). You can use this App to book classes, log workouts, and check in to a Crunch club with the digital barcode. The App does not have e-commerce functionality. Our App may collect personal and other information as described in Section 1 that will be used or disclosed in accordance with this Policy. We provide a link to this Policy to persons prior to their downloading of any of our App.
If you allow our mobile App to access your location information on your device, our mobile App may use your mobile device’s Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and other technology (such as wireless transmitters known as beacons) to provide you with information and offers based on the location of your device. Beacons allow us to collect information about your location within participating properties by communicating with mobile devices in range. We may use this location information to enhance your experience by delivering push notifications and other content to your mobile device, providing navigation assistance as you move around our locations, and sending you information and offers about products, services, or activities we believe may be of interest to you.
We may share this information with third parties, including business partners and service providers, to provide information, offers, and services that may be of interest to you. You may prevent or limit the collection of location information by changing the settings in the App or by changing your device settings.
11. Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of eighteen (18) and the products and services on this Site are not intended for persons under the age of sixteen. We intend Crunch’s web pages for general audiences – we do not seek through our Site to gather PI from or about persons under sixteen years of age. If you inform us or we otherwise become aware that we have unintentionally received PI from an individual under the age of sixteen, we will delete this information from our records.
When we collect information for membership inquiry purposes, users are informed they must be at least 18 years of age or have parental consent to provide personally identifying information to us. We encourage parents to monitor children's Internet use to keep them safe while navigating Crunch.com and all other areas of the Internet.
If your child attends Kids Crunch, we collect certain personal information that you provide, as noted in Section 1, above.
12. Your Choices Regarding Your Personal Information
Access.Crunch respects your control over your information, and, upon request, we will confirm whether we hold or are processing PI that we have collected from you. You also have the right to amend or update inaccurate or incomplete PI, request deletion of your PI, or request that we no longer use it. Under certain circumstances, we may not be able to fulfill your request such as when it interferes with our regulatory obligations, affects legal matters, we cannot verify your identity, or it involves disproportionate cost or effort. Still, in any event, we will endeavor to respond to your request within forty five (45) days and provide you with an explanation if we are not able to comply with your request.
Please note that for PI we have obtained about you or received for processing on behalf of a separate, unaffiliated entity – which determined the means and purposes of processing - all such requests should be made directly to that entity. We will honor and support any instructions they provide us concerning your PI.

15. State Specific Notices: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Oregon, Virginia, Utah and Texas
If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Virginia, Utah, or Texas the following state specific provisions describe our policies and practices in accordance with the applicable state consumer data protection law regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information that we obtain about you when you access or use the Site, our mobile application, and Services or through other channels (e.g., phone and e-mail conversations, viewing our emails, when you visit our locations or attend our events, or through authorized services providers or third parties).
Capitalized terms used in the following state sections shall have the meanings set forth in the applicable state consumer data protection law. The other provisions of this Policy continue to apply except as modified by the state section applicable to you. Please read the relevant state section carefully before using the Site and Services or otherwise submitting your personal information to us.
Except as otherwise noted, any capitalized terms not defined in a state-specific section have the meaning set forth in the Policy and Terms of Use. With the exception of the California section, these state sections do not apply to personal information we obtain about you in a commercial or employment context.
By accessing or using the Site or Services, or otherwise submitting personal information to us, you indicate your understanding that the collection, use, and sharing of your information is subject to the terms of the relevant state section, the Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Use. If you do not consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information as described, please do not use the Site or Services or otherwise provide us with such information.
Consumer Rights. These state-specific sections include rights you may have under the applicable state law and information on how to exercise them. Where permitted by law, we reserve the right to respond only to a verifiable request to exercise a right. A verifiable request may be made by any of the following:
• the Consumer who is the subject of the request,
• a Consumer on behalf of the Consumer’s minor child, or
• a natural person or person registered with the Secretary of State authorized to act on behalf of a Consumer, where permitted by applicable law.
If we request, you must provide sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of a Consumer. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain about you or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for sensitive Personal Information to verify your identity. We may not be able to respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and/or confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Please note that making a Consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. We will not use the Personal Information we collect from an individual to determine a verifiable request for any other purpose, except as required by law.
Fees. We reserve the right to charge a fee to process or respond to your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that a request warrants a fee, we will attempt to notify you as to why we made that decision and provide a cost estimate before completing your request. We will attempt to respond to a verifiable Consumer request within forty-five (45) days of receipt, but we may require up to ninety (90) days to respond, under which circumstances we will notify you of the need for an extension.
Response. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable Consumer request.
• California residents: With respect to Personal Information collected on and after January 1, 2022, and to the extent expressly permitted by applicable regulation, you may request that such disclosures cover a period beyond the 12 months referenced above, provided doing so would not be impossible or require a disproportionate effort by us.
Agents. Subject to certain limitations, you may authorize a natural person or a business registered with the applicable Secretary of State to act on your behalf with respect to exercising your rights under a state section. Unless you have provided the authorized agent with a qualifying power of attorney, you must provide your authorized agent with written permission (signed by you) to act on your behalf and verify their identity with us. We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorization. The following state- specific limitations apply to agents:
• Colorado: An agent may submit only a request to Opt Out of the processing of Personal Data concerning the Consumer for purposes of Targeted Advertising or the Sale of Personal Data.
• Connecticut: An agent may exercise only the right to Opt Out of processing of Personal Data concerning the Consumer for purposes of Targeted Advertising, the Sale of Personal Data, or Profiling in furtherance of solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer.
• Oregon: An agent may exercise only the right to Opt Out of processing of Personal Data concerning the Consumer for purposes of Targeted Advertising, the Sale of Personal Data, or Profiling.
