Member Retention Systems is a provider of online software that is simple, smart and secure and gives health clubs and leisure facilities the ability to track their members, track important tasks and eliminate paper from operations.
The Service involves the storage of data about a health club or leisure centre and of the members who use these facilities. That data can include personal information.
Personal information is information about an identifiable individual and may include information like the individual’s name, email address, telephone number and address, their progress and bookings.
This is our privacy policy for both our clients and customers of our clients where those persons or entities are not located in the EU. If you are in the EU, please refer to our specific privacy policy ‘EU Privacy Policy’. We aim to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles.
This policy sets out how we collect, store and process your personal information. If you are a customer of one of our clients, for example, you are a member of a gym that uses our software platform, we only store and process your information, we do not own or control it. If you have a question about what data is collected, please contact directly the person requesting the data, for example, your gym.

How do we collect data?
At all times we try to only collect the minimum information we need.
We may collect information about our clients when they engage with us. For example, if they make an enquiry through our website, contact us or sign up for our services.
We may receive personal information about customers of our clients when information is captured by us. For instance, when:

What about overseas transfers eg mail chimp, live chat, payment platforms
We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify our client (who will notify you) and any applicable regulator of a breach if we are legally required to.
DISCLAIMER: While we do our best to ensure the security of your data, no storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee the safety of your data.
