Your Access Rights
You may review, correct or change the Personal Information that is stored in your user account
on this Site by visiting the account management area of your account on this Site.
You may send us new or updated information at any time by contacting us at
. We will endeavor to respond to your request to access, update or delete
your information, including your user account, as soon as practicable. Before we are able to
provide you with any information, correct any inaccuracies or delete any information, however, we
may ask you to verify your identity and to provide other details to help us to respond to your
request.
Security
CrossFit Fargo will take reasonable steps to protect the security and integrity of all Personal
Information provided to this Site. We require a personal username (log-in name) and a password
in order for users to access their Personal Information. We restrict access to personal information
to CrossFit Fargo employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to
process it on our behalf.
Inherent Risks
No security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an
open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission
through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely
safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.
If you contact us by e-mail or a “contact us” or similar feature on our Site, you should be aware
that your transmission might not be secure. A third party could view information you send by
these methods in transit.
You may be able to create an account on our Site with a username and password. If so, you are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your account password, and you shall be responsible for any access to or use of the Site by you or any person or entity using your password, whether or not such access or use has been authorized by or on behalf of you, and whether or not such person or entity is your employee or agent. You agree to (a) immediately notify CrossFit of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. It is your sole responsibility to control the dissemination and use of your password, control access to and use of your account, and notify CrossFit Fargo when you desire to cancel your account on this Site. We will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this provision.
We will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission. In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your Personal Information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we would endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and, to the extent we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail. You consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification.
Phishing
With identity theft a continuing problem, it has become increasingly common for unauthorized individuals to send e-mail messages to consumers, purporting to represent a legitimate company such as a bank or on-line merchant, requesting that the consumer provide personal, often sensitive information. Sometimes, the domain name of the e-mail address from which the e-mail appears to have been sent, and the domain name of the web site requesting such information, appears to be the domain name of a legitimate, trusted company. In reality, such sensitive information is received by an unauthorized individual to be used for purposes of identity theft. This illegal activity has come to be known as “phishing.”
If you receive an e-mail or other correspondence requesting that you provide any sensitive information (including your Site password or credit card information) via e-mail or to a web site that does not seem to be affiliated with our Site, or that otherwise seems suspicious to you, please do not provide such information, and report such request to us at .
Consent to Processing
By providing Personal Information to this Site, you understand and consent to the collection, maintenance, processing and transfer of such information in and to the United States and other countries and territories.
Third-Party “Linked-To” Web Sites
When you are on our Site you may have the opportunity to visit, or link to, other sites not operated by CrossFit Fargo, including other web sites operated by other members of The CrossFit Fargo Family or by unrelated third parties. These sites may collect Personal Information about you. CrossFit Fargo does not control sites that are operated by these entities and is not responsible for the information practices of these sites. This Privacy Policy does not address the information practices of those other web sites, and applies solely to information collected by CrossFit Fargo on this Site. The privacy policies of Web sites operated by other members of The CrossFit Fargo Family are located on those sites.
Children Under Age 13
We are a general audience site, and do not knowingly request Personal Information from anyone under 13 years of age. If you are under the age of 13, please do not use our Site, including by attempting to participate in blogs, discussions, register for any events, or otherwise provide any information to the Web Site. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. No information collected from children is used for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever, either inside or outside of CrossFit Fargo.
We strongly recommend that minors 13 years of age or older ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the internet and we encourage parents to teach their children about safe internet practices. Parents may wish to consult the resources on children’s privacy and safe internet practices that are available through the Federal Trade Commission. We also strongly suggest that you have installed and use “Parental Controls” for your web browser.
We take seriously our obligation to safeguard the confidentiality, security and integrity of personal information collected from our users, and have established and will maintain procedures that are designed for that purpose. Children and parents should be aware, however, that no system is completely secure from hackers, network failure and error, and we cannot guarantee the confidentiality, security and integrity of information maintained on our service. Please see the section entitled “Security” elsewhere in this Privacy Policy for further details.
