Introduction
9Round Franchising, LLC (“9Round,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of your information. This Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information. This Privacy Policy applies to the websites, our mobile application, or any other interactive properties displaying this Privacy Policy through which we offer services (collectively, “Sites”) as well as any of our online and, where required, offline services (collectively, “Services”).
From time to time, we may change this Privacy Policy. If we do, we will post an amended version on this webpage. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically.
This Privacy Policy covers the following topics:
Franchisees
While we require our franchisees to adhere to the principles and practices outlined in this Privacy Policy when handling personal information, each franchisee operates as an independent business. As such, we do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of our franchisees. We obligate our franchisees, through contractual agreements, to use personal information only for the purposes permitted under this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Your use of this Site and any issues relating to this Privacy Policy are subject to 9Round’s then-current Terms of Use, which are located on our Site at https://www.9round.com/terms-of-use.

We also may provide or otherwise make available personal information to franchisees such as in relation to the operation of our business or support of their businesses. In some instances, franchisees perform Services on our behalf like a vendor would, and this requires us to provide them with personal information. In some instances, however, you may independently interact with and otherwise independently provide personal information to franchisees, and in such cases, we are not responsible or liable for such franchisees’ processing of your Personal Information.
For more information on how we share personal information with third parties, and how/that sharing may be classified as a “sale” or similar term under certain state laws, see our “Your State Privacy Rights and Additional Disclosures” section below.

You may block tracking pixels by adjusting your browser privacy settings or installing a browser extension or ad-blocking extension for pixels.
Other Types of Collecting Activities
The Sites and Services may use Cookies third-party vendors provide to collect information on user behavior (e.g., screens and pages visited, buttons and links clicked, limited information entered, and user taps and mouse movements). This information enables us to monitor and improve the user experience.
Do Not Track
We do not currently respond to “Do-Not-Track” signals or mechanisms.
By providing your phone number and submitting our online form, filling out a paper form in-person or clicking on “I Agree” you consent and agree to opt-in to receive text messages. Message frequency depends on the marketing offers we provide. You may opt out of receiving text messages by texting “Stop” at the end of any message you receive, or you can opt out of these communications by contacting us at support@9round.com and sharing the phone number that you would like to opt out. You may also reply “Help” for help. Messaging and data rates may apply. If you have consented to receive text messages, you may receive messages related to the following: first-time workouts, special events or workshops, follow-up messages, billing inquiries, promotions or offers.
We may disclose your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties, franchisees or marketing affiliates that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages. We will not share or sell your phone number, your opt-in to the SMS with third parties for their direct marketing purposes or for purposes unrelated to our services or Site.
We may periodically send you newsletters, e-mails or similar communications featuring sales and promotions, news about new 9ROUND products and services, requests for your feedback, or other information we think may be of interest to you, in accordance with local law. We may use your IP address to help us verify, track and record when you unsubscribe from our marketing emails or update your communication preferences. You may stop receiving marketing communications from us at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of your emails. However, if you unsubscribe from our marketing communications, you may still receive transactional messages. You will not automatically become unsubscribed from the marketing communications of the franchise owner of the 9ROUND studio you joined or to which your e-mail address has been provided as set forth in this Privacy Policy. 9ROUND franchises are independently owned and operated businesses and we do not control their use of your e-mail address. Accordingly, if you are a member at a 9ROUND franchise studio, please contact your home studio directly to learn how to unsubscribe from such communications.
Security
We maintain commercially reasonable security measures to protect the personal information we collect and store from loss, misuse, destruction, or unauthorized access. However, no security measure or modality of data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Although we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third Party Links
The Sites may contain links that will let you leave the Sites and access another website. Linked websites are not under our control. We accept no responsibility or liability for these other websites.
Children’s Privacy
The Sites and Services are not intended for, directed at or marketed to, children under 16 years of age, except in the limited cases where children under the age of 16 attend a 9Round Studio workout with the permission of their parent or guardian and/or create an account using their email address through a parent or guardian-managed account. We do not otherwise knowingly collect, target, use, or disclose personal information from children under 16. If you believe that we have directly collected any personal information from anyone under the age of 16 without parental consent, please contact us at support@9round.com.
Notice to Nevada Residents
Nevada law allows Nevada residents to opt out of the sale of certain types of personal information. Subject to several exceptions, Nevada law defines “sale” to mean the exchange of certain types of personal information for monetary consideration to another person. We do not currently sell personal information as defined in the Nevada law. However, if you are a Nevada resident, you still may submit a verified request to opt out of sales and we will record your instructions and incorporate them in the future if our policy changes. You may send opt-out requests to support@9round.com.
Your State Privacy Rights and Additional Disclosures
Depending on the state in which you reside, you may have certain privacy rights regarding your personal information. If you are a California resident, please see our “Notice to California Residents” section below. For other state residents, your privacy rights may include (if applicable):
We do not use personal information for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals.
Depending on how the applicable privacy law defines a “sale,” we may sell personal information to third parties. For instance, if you are a resident of Texas, Colorado or Connecticut, our use of cookies and tracking technologies constitutes a sale of personal information to third-party advertisers.
We also use cookies to display advertisements about our products to you on nonaffiliated websites, applications, and online services. This is “targeted advertising” under applicable privacy laws. As noted above, you may opt out of targeted advertising by contacting us at support@9round.com or managing your cookie setting by clicking here. Please note that we do not engage in targeted advertising to anyone under the age of 16 without express opt-in consent.
NOTICE: We may sell your sensitive personal data. Under applicable state privacy laws, precise geolocation may be considered sensitive personal information. Our use of tracking technologies or limited sharing of this information may be considered a “sale” of sensitive personal data. You can disable location permissions through your device settings or deny permission when prompted.
Notice to California Residents
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”), requires that we provide California residents with a privacy policy that contains a comprehensive description of our online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, sale, sharing, and retention of personal information and of the rights of California residents regarding their personal information. This section of the Privacy Policy is intended solely for, and is applicable only as to, California residents. If you are not a California resident, this section does not apply to you and you should not rely on it.
The CCPA defines “personal information” to mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified or aggregated information or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern. Other personal information excluded from the scope of the CCPA includes: health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA), clinical trial data, or other qualifying research data; and personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.For purposes of this “Notice to California Residents” section we will refer to this information as “personal information.”

You may submit a request to know, delete, and/or correct by emailing us at support@9round.com. If you submit a request to delete online, you may be asked to confirm separately that you want your personal information deleted.
If you are submitting a request on behalf of a California resident, please submit the request through one of the designated methods discussed above.

We will comply with your request upon verification of your identity and, to the extent applicable, the identity of the California resident on whose behalf you are making such request. Our verification process may differ depending on whether you maintain a password-protected account with us.
