Welcome to the Wellbeing Hub, powered by Springday.

At Springday your privacy and the security of your personal information is a major priority for us. We want our visitors to feel protected when visiting the wellbeing hub and when using our online Programs, Tools and Online Community.

Below is more detail on the privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy describes what information we gather from you, how we use that information, and what we do to protect it. We hope that this privacy policy is straightforward and clear; however, if you have any questions about it, please e-mail: privacy@myspringday.com.au

Understanding the Springday Privacy Policy

1. What information does Springday collect?

To use the Programs, to create your Profile and to participate in the Online Community, we collect two types of information when you subscribe.

b. Non-personally Identifiable Information.

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally Identifiable Information is information from which your identity is either clear or can reasonably be determined and includes personal information under applicable Australian privacy laws (“Personally Identifiable Information”). Such Personally Identifiable Information may include your name, email address, birth date, phone number, gender and location.

Optional Non-Personally Identifiable Information

When you become a community user of our Website, or create your profile you have the option to store your health information (like current weight) ("Non-Personally Identifiable Information") without revealing to us your identity or other Personally Identifiable Information.  This health information by itself cannot be used to identify or contact you. Non-Personally Identifiable Information may also include user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Website. Non-Personally Identifiable Information is used to help us understand who uses our Website and to improve and market our Website in general.
