Les Mills is committed to protecting its customers' personal information. This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use and protect your information when you visit any of the websites we own or operate or use any apps, products or services which we provide (for the purposes of this policy, we'll just call them our 'services').
We may need to update this policy from time to time, including when necessary to reflect changes to our services or changes in law. When we update this policy, we will revise the "Last updated" at the top of the policy. Where the changes are material, we will use reasonable endeavours notify you – usually by prominently posting a notice of those changes on our website or by sending you an email.
We encourage you to read this policy carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us.
This Privacy Policy covers the following topics:
This policy is provided for your information and doesn't limit or exclude your rights under the Privacy Act 2020.
In this policy, when we say ‘personal information’ we mean identifiable information about you, for example your name, email, address, telephone number, bank account details and any community comments or support questions you may post. If you cannot be identified (for example, when personal information has been aggregated and anonymised) then this policy doesn’t apply. We recommend that you also read our website terms of use for more information on how we treat your other data.
We collect personal information from you when you use on our sites or otherwise use our services (for example, when you purchase a membership or trial, subscribe to our newsletter, respond to a survey or fill out a form).
The ways we may collect your personal information can generally be categorised into (1) information you give us directly, (2) information we collect automatically) and (3) information we get from third parties.
