YMCA Privacy Policies
Protecting your personal information
We collect no personal information about you unless you choose to provide that
information to us. We do not use techniques that collect personal information about you
without your knowledge.
How we use non-personal information
Our site’s operating system may automatically record some general information about
your visit, such as:
• The Internet domain for your Internet service provider, such as ‘company.com’ or
‘service.ca’ and the IP address of the computer accessing the website, such as ‘ppp-55
• The type of browser (such as ‘Safari version x’ or ‘Internet Explorer version x’) you are
using
• The type of operating system you are using (such as Macintosh, Unix, or Windows)
• The date and time you visit our site and the web pages that you visit on our site, along
with the address of the previous website you were visiting, if you linked to us from
another web site.
We use this information for statistical analysis to help us make our site more useful to
users. We may disclose this non-personal information to third parties such as suppliers,
clients or advertisers and/or use it for auditing purposes. This tracking system does not
record personal information about individuals or link this information to any personal
data collected.
We may use ‘cookies’ that identify you as a return visitor. A cookie is a piece of data that
a website can send to your browser, which may then store the cookie on your hard
drive. So, when you come back to visit us again, we can tailor information to suit your
individual preferences. The goal is to save you time and provide you with a more
meaningful visit and to measure website activity. Cookies do not contain any
personally identifying information. Browsers allow you to disable cookie collection if you
wish, or inform you when a cookie is being stored on your hard drive.
• No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.
All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will
not be shared with any third parties
What about spam?
You will not receive marketing e-mail from YMCA Saskatoon unless you have
consented to receive it.
From time to time we may use e-mail as a way to keep in touch with our existing
customers and other interested individuals. However, we do not send ‘spam’ (unsolicited
marketing e-mail).
If you agree to receive e-mail communications from us, every e-mail message we send
you will include an e-mail address to which you can respond. If at any time you decide
you do not want to receive marketing e-mail from us, simply let us know and we will
remove your name and e-mail address from our marketing lists. We will do the same
with your mailing address and telephone number on request.
When you leave this site
This policy discloses the privacy practices for our website. However, our site contains
links to other sites. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy and
security policies of the new site. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of all
websites you visit, especially if you share any personal information.
App Privacy Policy
Our app offers fitness challenges which users can join and integrates with Google’s Health Connect to collect user’s calories burned, distance walked/ran and steps climbed. Our app will analyze the daily exercise data of users in Health Connect to calculate their progress and determine whether they have completed a fitness challenge. The challenge includes the distance covered, the number of steps taken, and the total calories burned by the user. Users can receive these challenges on the homepage, and when they accept a challenge, a prompt will appear requesting authorization to access Health Connect. We will request permission for Distance Record, Steps Record, and Total Calories Burned Record in minimum scope to fulfill the functionality of our app. Once we obtain this data, we will display the corresponding exercise data and progress in the app, as well as update the server’s progress. When the user’s exercise meets the target value of the challenge, we will indicate that the challenge has been completed. We retain user data only for as long as the user’s account remains active. When a user requests to delete their account, all associated personal data will be deleted from our systems.
The use of information received from Health Connect will adhere to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
