Privacy Policy

Nifty Pilates | Effective August 8, 2026

At Nifty Pilates, we know that trust starts with how we handle your personal information. This policy sets out, in plain terms, what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies across both of our Kelowna studios, our website, and our app, and it's built around British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act ("PIPA").

Throughout this policy, "Nifty Pilates," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Nifty Pilates and its affiliates. "You" refers to anyone whose information we handle — clients, contractors, employees, and visitors to our studios, website, or app.

Where This Policy Applies

This policy covers information gathered:

  • At either of our studio locations

  • Through our website (www.niftypilates.com)

  • Through the Nifty Pilates app or the MarianaTek booking platform

  • In emails, texts, or other messages exchanged with us

Some pages on our site may link out to other websites or include third-party tools. Those third parties operate under their own privacy practices, which are outside our control — worth a look before you share anything with them.

We periodically revise this policy. Whenever we do, the updated version replaces this one on our website, dated accordingly.

What We Collect

Identifying and account details: name, email, phone number, home address, date of birth, emergency contact, billing information, membership records, and attendance history.

Health-related details: any injuries you disclose, fitness assessments, and notes tracking your progress.

Technical details: IP address, device type, and how you use our site or app — collected in part through cookies. You're free to block cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may stop working properly if you do.

Why We Collect It

Your information helps us:

  • Run your membership and handle billing

  • Book and manage your classes

  • Deliver the services you've signed up for

  • Track your attendance and progress over time

  • Keep you informed with service-related updates

  • Process payments

  • Improve what it's like to train with us

  • Send marketing messages, but only if you've said yes

  • Keep our studios safe and secure

Payments themselves go through secure third-party processors — we never store complete card numbers on our own systems.

A note on text messages: your phone number and any consent you've given for text communications are used only to send you the messages described below. We do not pass this information to outside companies for their own marketing purposes.

Marketing — and Opting Out

If you've opted in, you might hear from us by:

  • Email newsletter

  • Promotions and special offers

  • Event announcements

  • Class schedule updates

  • Text message

Changed your mind? Unsubscribe from any email with one click, text "STOP" to opt out of messages, or just reach out to us directly (contact details below).

Photos and Video at Our Studios

We sometimes photograph or film activity in our studios for marketing purposes. If you'd rather not appear in this content, let us know in writing and we'll do our best to honor that going forward.

Keeping Your Information Safe

We rely on a mix of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to keep your information secure and limit access to it — only staff who need it for their role can see sensitive details.

How Long We Keep It

Information sticks around only as long as it serves a real purpose: maintaining your membership, meeting legal obligations, resolving disputes, or enforcing agreements. Once none of those apply, it doesn't need to stay.

Who Else Touches Your Data

We rely on outside platforms to run parts of our business, including MarianaTek for scheduling and memberships, payment processors, and email marketing tools. Each operates under its own privacy and security practices.

Your Rights Under PIPA

You're entitled to:

  • See what personal information we hold about you

  • Ask us to correct anything inaccurate

  • Withdraw consent for how we use your information, where applicable

Reach out using the contact details below to exercise any of these. One thing to keep in mind: withdrawing consent for certain uses may limit our ability to keep providing you with some services.

Minors

Anyone under 19 needs a parent or guardian's consent before we'll collect their personal information. If we ever discover we've collected a minor's information without that authorization, we'll delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Updates go live on our website with a new effective date, and continuing to use our services afterward means you're on board with the changes.
