Personal information is information about an identifiable individual. It includes information such as your name, address, date of birth, gender, financial information, as well as your opinions and preferences. [Personal information does not include de-identified, aggregated information that cannot be associated with a specific individual.]
Personal Information We Collect and How
Information we may collect about you includes:
Identifiers: Such as your first and last name, telephone number, email address, physical address, date of birth, gender and employee number.
Profile Information: Such as your responses to our Get Active Questionnaire (which includes general questions on your health that you choose to disclose to us) or other health assessments, feedback and/or survey responses, submissions, data on your usage of our Services, emergency contact, communication preferences, and information from when you email or submit any online forms or call us and provide us with information.
Fitness and Health Services: When you enroll in fitness services, such as classes or personal training, we may collect additional information about you, such as information on your fitness level, body measurements, nutrition, health, training goals, progress, and usage. We do not collect or access information provided by you to massage therapists or other health practitioners (such as Acupuncturist, Naturopathic Doctor, Physiotherapist, etc.) in our Facilities, other than with respect to the scheduling and booking of appointments.

Often, the information we collect is information that is provided by you, directly to us, such as when you sign up or use the Services or when you communicate or interact with us. Other times, LIV North may be contracted by employers to provide third party consulting and analysis of employer sponsored employee services and/or programs. In these cases, the types of personal information described above may be provided to us from a third party, such as your employer. Where possible in these circumstances, LIV North will take reasonable measures to ensure that the party disclosing your personal information has obtained your consent.
