11. Australian Privacy Act Compliance
This policy is governed by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Key commitments under the APPs include:
- We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities (APP 3).
- We take reasonable steps to notify you of the collection of your personal information and the purposes for which it is collected (APP 5).
- We will not use or disclose your personal information for direct marketing unless you have consented or would reasonably expect it, and we always provide an opt-out mechanism (APP 7).
- We disclose personal information to overseas service providers (mainly in the United States) as described in section 12, and we take reasonable steps to ensure they handle it in line with the APPs (APP 8).
- We take reasonable steps to ensure the personal information we collect and hold is accurate, up-to-date, complete, and relevant (APP 10).

12. Member App, Check-Ins and Analytics
Our member app (app.teamcompton.co (and app.teamcomptonkids.com for the kids program)) lets you manage your membership online. When you use it we hold your account and membership details (name, contact details, plan, billing dates and payment history; card details are held only by our payment processor), your check-in and attendance records, and the profile photo taken at sign-up, which staff use to identify you at check-in.
To understand how the member app is used and to fix problems, we use a third-party analytics service that records how you interact with it, such as the pages you view, taps and scrolling. Text you type is masked. These recordings are linked to your account so we can help with support requests, and are kept for a limited time.
Gym staff and our administrators can view your member app as you see it in order to assist you. We send booking, payment and membership messages by email and SMS. You can opt out of marketing messages at any time by replying STOP to a text or using the unsubscribe link in an email; we will still send messages needed to run your membership.
Overseas disclosure
Some of our service providers, including our payment processor, database and hosting providers, analytics providers, messaging providers and digital wallet providers, store information outside Australia, mainly in the United States. We take reasonable steps to ensure they protect your information in a way that is consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
