Policies governing the protection of privacy on our website are strictly observed and enforced to ensure this happens.
In our online access areas, you may be asked to provide personal information that is necessary for us to communicate with you, to provide you with your training program and any other information that Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC considers may be valuable to you. Personal financial information is required to enable us to bill you for products and/or services you have requested. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information provided to Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC by you is complete and accurate.
Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC strives to offer the visitors to its websites the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience.

We hate spam as much as you do and we will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party. Period.
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our websites or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. Like most websites, our websites also collect information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually. We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on our websites to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms and Conditions and privacy policy; services and products we offer and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our web hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Use of information collected
We use the information collected from you when you visit our website to address your specific requests and to provide better customer service, including the provision of the latest information regarding our products and services. The information collected may also be used to document communications between Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC and our online users and to comply with any applicable legal and/or regulatory requirements.
Access to information collected
Certain employees will be provided with information about a website visitor in order to fulfill that user’s requests and provide the user with requested information regarding specific products. Our employees are instructed to use strict standards of care in handling the personal information of our clients, and the use of such information is dealt with in our internal code of conduct. Employees who do not conform to Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC’s confidentiality rules are subject to disciplinary sanctions which may include dismissal.
Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC does not transmit any personal information collected through its website to any third parties. Personal information may be transmitted, however, if there is a specific need to complete a transaction requested by the online user.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our websites, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC does not control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Chuck Gross Fitness, LLC and this policy.
