The App is based on the MyWellness platform, an international app and service produced by a company called Technogym. We have partnered with Technogym to rebrand their App to display information customised to our YMCA centres (ie. group fitness timetables). When you create a new account, you are creating an account with MyWellness, not YMCA SA. The terms of Use and Privacy Policy associated with a MyWellness account are linked to while creating the account and can be viewed here. As part of the account creation process, you are required:
- Consent to the use of your data concerning health for the purposes of delivering the service. This relates to the App being able to connect with other Health apps on your phone, or fitness tracking devices. Once the account is created you can choose whether you establish any of these integrations which brings all your Health data into one location (versus having to use multiple Apps). The consent also pertains to things such as entering your height, weight, heart rate, etc which are used in assigning training programs and other core functions of the App. Again, despite consenting to this in the account creation process, entering this health data is completely optional.
- Consent to the processing of personal data for marketing purposes. Once your account is created you can adjust the notification/email settings to your preference. You can also at any time delete your account, which removes all of your data from the MyWellness database. As per the MyWellness terms and privacy policy, Technogym can only use your data for the purpose of delivering the services within the App; they are unable to sell or use the data for different purposes.
- Enable your location. This is so the app can populate a list of YMCA centres closest to you, enabling you to select your centre). You can disable the Apps permission to access your location after the initial set up if you wish.
