When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request.

We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (e.g., developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems). Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. 

We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.

1. Data Retention and Erasure

We generally retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us and to comply with our legal obligations. If you no longer want us to use your information to provide the Thefitnesslabs.com Site(s) to you, and subject to Thefitnesslabs.com’s legitimate interest exceptions, you can request that we erase your personal information and close your Thefitnesslabs.com account. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:

• We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, Thefitnesslabs.com may keep some of your information for tax, legal, and auditing obligations.
• even after your account is deleted. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed. Additionally, some copies of your information (e.g., log records) may remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.
• Because we maintain the Thefitnesslabs.com Site(s) to protect from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.

Where you have provided your consent to the processing of your personal information by Thefitnesslabs.com, you may withdraw your consent at any time by changing your account settings, Cookie Settings, or by sending a communication to Thefitnesslabs.com specifying which consent you are withdrawing. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal. Additionally, in some jurisdictions, applicable law may give you the right to limit the ways in which we use your personal information, in particular, where (i) you contest the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information; (iii) we no longer need your personal information for the purposes of the processing, but you require the information for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to the processing pursuant to Section 11.6 and pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of Thefitnesslabs.com override your own. 

1. Objection to Processing

In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to require Thefitnesslabss.com not to process your personal information for certain specific purposes (including profiling) where such processing is based on legitimate interest.
