Velosol Fitness Centre App by Virtuagym
Our app is designed to support our members in their fitness journey, to provide a self-service tool to manage your membership, make reservations and inform our members about their gym, services and products. After activating an account, you can personalise the app as much as you like, depending on your own fitness goals. We can distinguish the following categories of personal data in our app:
​
1. Details for creating and using an app account
If you are a member of Velosol Fitness Center, you can easily install the app and log in by providing your membership details. The following data will be uploaded into your app (data you normally see within 'Virtuagym'): Name, age, gender, country, language, contact details, membership type, membership and card number, home club, reservations and club visits. If you are not a member of Velosol Fitness Center, you must create an account by providing the following information: Name, age, gender, country, language, and email address.
2. Data to help you reach your sports goals and personalise your app
Our app can help you reach your sports goals. Therefore, you should add some data such as your height, weight, goals, sport preferences and planned and completed workouts. Your BMI will be calculated automatically.
3. Connect with your Apple health app
You can connect your health app to our Virtuagym app to optimize your sport goals. The data from your health app will only be visible on the app on your own device. Velosol Fitness Center will not view, collect or store this data on its own systems.
​
4. Other optional extras
Profile picture, personal coaching dashboard, virtual lessons, recommended products/sports nutrition, recommended dietary tips and recipes. We also offer the option 'club finder', where you can give permission for the use of your location data. Velosol Fitness Center does not store this location data.
5. Inviting Friends
You can invite friends to join you and become members of Velosol Fitness Center. To do so, we will direct you to our website from where we will provide you with a special link to send to your friends.
6. Analytical data
We analyse the use of the app to improve its functionality and security and for personalisation and marketing purposes. We analyse by using a unique identifier, interpretable only by Velosol Fitness Center, and do not use any user or device data. Velosol Fitness Center uses Google analytics and has concluded a Data Processing Agreement with Google in this regard. Google uses device data such as IMEI (not accessible to Velosol Fitness Center) for identification purposes.
Velosol Fitness Center never shares or sells personal data of app users with third parties. Your app account data will be deleted 6 months after cancellation of your membership. You can change your settings, personal data or marketing preferences in the app's privacy settings. More information on your privacy rights can be found in the last section of this statement.
Camera protection
We have cameras in and around our clubs, but we use the images for limited purposes. We are well aware that camera security also affects the privacy of our members and staff and therefore we monitor with the utmost care. For example, there is no camera security in changing rooms or sanitary areas and monitoring is in principle only reactive. This means that images are viewed after an incident has been reported. For information on the nature and implementation of our camera security we refer to our Camera Security Regulations on our website.
​
Access fraud
Velosol Fitness Center has included in its General Terms and Conditions that it is not allowed to provide another person with illegal access to the club by allowing him to train or access the sports infrastructure. A fine (equivalent to the value of a day pass) will be charged for this, or in the event of repetition, membership may be terminated. Specially equipped cameras that can recognise access fraud are placed at the access points. If the camera detects fraud, the images are always verified by an authorised member of staff to determine whether access fraud has occurred. The offence is registered and forwarded to the registered owner of the specific card number. This person receives an e-mail from us requesting them to pay the fine at the kiosk.
Covid-19
Due to the limitation of the number of visitors in the club, you currently need to make a reservation before you can enter the club. In the reservation we will remind you that you are not allowed to exercise with Covid-related complaints. You can only complete the reservation after you have confirmed that you have been informed and have taken these restrictions into account. The reservation will only be kept for a short period of time and is only meant to keep the number of visitors within limits. Health authorities may approach Velosol Fitness Center as part of Covid-19 source and contact tracing. We may be required by Covid guidelines to provide the names and email addresses of members who were present in the club at the same time that a person who tested positive was present. In that case the health authority will contact you by email and advise you what to do. Sometimes the health authority requests that we send an e-mail to our members ourselves. Fortunately, this is rare and of course we handle this with the utmost care. We never register members who have tested positive.
For the time being, we have to deal with the QR code or 'Pass Sanitaire' requirement for our members to be able to exercise. Therefore, you need to scan the QR code at the entrance gate, after which you can enter the club in the usual way with your Velosol Fitness Center pass. Scanning the pass Sanitary / QR code is only a technical step to unlock the access. Velosol Fitness Center has no insight into the underlying data of the Sanitary Pass and does not keep any records of it at an individual level.
​
Data of visitors to the website
The personal data of visitors to our website are also processed. This concerns personal data that you enter on the contact page or in the web shop itself, such as your e-mail address, name, address, place of residence, current location or a telephone number.

Through these channels you can follow Velosol Fitness Center and respond to our communications and news feeds. You may also use the private messaging option to contact us with questions or concerns about your membership.

Personal details about your membership will only be communicated through the private message option chat and never through the public chat.
