Privacy Policy
Last updated: 23 Sep 2024
Why do we have this privacy policy?
We are Gymshark and our respectful treatment of each individual and their personal data reflects our core values and the values of our brand(s). Therefore, we want you to know as much as possible about what we do with your personal data. Additionally, you and your personal data are protected by various laws and regulations and Gymshark is committed to complying with them and to respecting your privacy and protecting your data. While this privacy policy is quite long, we want you to be fully informed.
In this privacy policy, any reference to “us”, “we”, “our” or “ours” is a reference to Gymshark, and the particular part of the Gymshark group with which you have a relationship, and any reference to “you”, “your” and “yourself” is a reference to you as an individual who has a relationship or is in contact with us.
This Privacy Policy applies to anyone who interacts with us as a customer who has purchased one of our products or services (both in-store and online), users of apps we provide, anyone who has signed up to receive marketing materials from us, anyone who participates in our promotions/contests, and anyone who signs up to attend one of our events or who interacts with us on social media, except to the extent that the reason for your interaction with us is already covered by another privacy notice. For example, our Rest of the World Privacy Notice applies to your general use of our website(s). A copy of this can be found at https://support.gymshark.com/en-US/pages/privacy-notice-gs .
Please note that we have a separate privacy notice which relates to personal data collected by our video surveillance and access control systems, a copy of which can be found at https://support.gymshark.com/en/pages/privacy-notice . We also have a separate privacy notice which applies generally to individuals applying for jobs with us and which will be given to you as part of any application/interview process. Finally, we have a separate Rest of the World privacy notice which applies to anyone else who interacts with us, a copy of which can be found at https://support.gymshark.com/en/pages/privacy-notice . You should also read those privacy notices if they apply to your activities/interactions with us, as they may apply to you in addition to this privacy notice.
This privacy policy sets out details of how we collect and use personal information about you during and after your relationship with us, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Because this privacy policy covers a range of individuals and different types of relationships and interactions with us, not all aspects of this privacy policy will apply to you. The aspects of this privacy policy that apply to you will depend on the nature of your relationship and interactions with us. If you are unsure, you can always contact us at mydata@gymshark.com . If you are based in the EU, you can also contact our European Representative at gymshark@lionheartsquared.eu .
The person responsible for your personal data
For the purposes of data protection laws and this privacy policy, the controller of your personal data and the processing of your personal data is the part of the Gymshark group that processes your personal data. This will typically be the part of the Gymshark group that you interact or have a relationship with. As the controller of your personal data, we are responsible for deciding how we store and use your personal data. Our main trading company is Gymshark Limited (reg. no. 08130873), incorporated in England and Wales. If you are based in the UK, this company will be the controller of your personal data. If you are based outside the UK, the controller of your personal data may be another part of our group, but in most cases for the interactions covered by this privacy policy, the controller of your personal data will be Gymshark Limited. Sometimes we may share personal data with different parts of our group, so this privacy policy covers our whole group and more than one part of our group may be a controller of your personal data. Regardless of where you are located in the world, any questions you may have regarding your personal data will be handled by Gymshark Limited who can be contacted at mydata@gymshark.com . If you are based in the EU you can also contact our European Representative at gymshark@lionheartsquared.eu .

If you do not provide some of the personal information we require, it may negatively impact our ability to interact with you, for example, we may not be able to provide you with products or services you want to receive. However, in general, you are not required to provide us with your personal information.
If you have any questions or concerns, just ask!

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent in accordance with the rules above where this is required or permitted by law. We will rarely need to rely on your consent to process your personal data.
Automated decision-making
Automated decision-making occurs when an electronic system uses personal data to make a decision about that individual that produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, without human intervention. We do not currently use this type of automated decision-making in relation to you in our business.
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a material impact on you that are based solely on automated decision-making unless we have a legal basis for doing so and we have notified you.
However, we use automated processing to enable us to show you personalized advertising while visiting our website or those of other companies and to create a customer profile for you. Any advertising you see may relate to your browsing activity on our website from your computer or other devices.
We deliver these advertisements through third party market-leading specialist providers using technologies such as pixels, web beacons, ad tags, mobile identifiers and "cookies" placed on your computer or other devices (some of which are subject to your prior consent). For more information about our use of cookies and how you can remove or disable cookies at any time, please see our Cookie Policy - see https://support.gymshark.com/en-US/pages/cookie-policy .
We may analyse your online browsing and shopping activities and your responses to marketing communications. The results of this analysis, together with other demographic data, enable us to decide which advertising is appropriate for you and to ensure that we direct your attention to products, services, events and offers that are tailored and relevant to you. To do this, we use software and other technologies for automated processing. This enables us to provide a more personal service and experience.
We may review personal information held about you by third-party social media platform providers, such as the personal information available on social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.
We want to inform you about products and services that are of interest and relevance to you as an individual. To help us do this, we process personal information through profiling and segmentation, identifying what our customers like and ensuring that advertisements we show you are more relevant based on demographics, interests, purchasing behavior, online web browsing activity and interaction with previous communications.
Who has internal access to your personal data?
Your personal information may be shared internally with our employees, including our customer care, order fulfillment, loyalty and retention, customer relationship management, media, insights, events, campaigns, technical and legal teams who need access to your personal information to perform their roles. We only grant access to your personal information to those of our employees who need access to your personal information.
To whom do we share your personal data externally?
When we use your personal information, we may share it with third parties, but we will only do this where it is reasonable to do so and where we have a legal basis for doing so. Third parties with whom we may share your personal information include:
- Any third party approved by you.
- Service providers or product providers to our business, such as information technology service providers, logistics and warehousing service providers, delivery and shipping service providers, fraud prevention organizations, marketing and public relations service providers, market research and analytics providers, data cleansing service providers.

For more information about our use of cookies, please see our Cookie Policy at https://support.gymshark.com/en-US/pages/cookie-policy .

We may provide aggregated statistical information and analytics about users of our products and services to third parties, but we will ensure that no one can be identified from this information before disclosing it.
International distribution
It is sometimes necessary to transfer your personal data outside the UK and/or the European Economic Area (EEA), or it is collected outside the UK and/or the EEA. This will usually happen when service providers to our business are located outside the EEA, or when you are based outside the EEA. These transfers will be subject to special rules under the relevant data protection laws.
The same applies to any transfer of personal data to another part of our group of companies based outside the UK and/or the EEA. We apply the same standards to any transfer of personal data between members of our group, regardless of where the group company is based.
Where we transfer your personal data outside the UK and/or the EEA, we will ensure that the transfer is subject to relevant data protection laws and that all personal data is kept secure. Our standard practice is to assess the laws and practices of the destination country and the relevant service provider, as well as the security measures to be put in place in relation to the personal data at the overseas location; alternatively, we will use standard data protection/contractual clauses. This means that you can expect a similar level of protection in relation to your personal data when making such a transfer.
Our directors and other key employees of ours may, in certain circumstances, access personal data from outside the UK and/or the EEA when they are abroad outside the UK or the EEA. If they do so, they will apply our security measures and the same legal protections will apply as would apply when accessing personal data from our premises.
In certain circumstances, the individuals to whom we disclose personal information may be located outside the UK and/or the EEA without us having an existing relationship with them, for example to a foreign police authority outside the UK and/or the EEA. In these cases, we will impose any legally required safeguards on the personal information before disclosing it.
If you would like further details on how we protect your personal data in relation to international transfers, please contact our DPO at mydata@gymshark.com . If you are based in the EU, you can also contact our European Representative at gymshark@lionheartsquared.eu .
How do we protect your personal data?
We are committed to keeping your personal information safe and secure and as such, we have implemented numerous security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of information under our control. We will always strive to use best-in-class security systems implemented in our networks and hardware to ensure that access and information is protected. Our security measures include:
- Encryption of personal data where appropriate.
- Regular cyber security assessments of all service providers that handle your personal data.
- Regular planning and assessments to ensure we can respond to cyber security attacks and data security incidents.
- Regular penetration testing of systems.
- Security controls that protect our information technology systems infrastructure and our premises from external attacks and unauthorized access.
- Regular backups of information technology system data with capabilities to correct errors or accidental deletion/modification of data.
- Internal policies that define our information security rules for our employees.
- Regular training for our employees to ensure that employees understand the appropriate use and processing of personal data.
- If we engage third parties to process personal data on our behalf, they do so on the basis of our written instructions, they are subject to a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of personal data.
We take information security very seriously and will use all reasonable efforts to protect the integrity and security of the personal information we collect about you.
How long do we keep your personal data?
We will keep your personal information for the duration of your relationship with us and then for a further period. If you are a customer, this will normally be up to 6 years after you last purchased or ordered products or services from us, or used our apps. However, if you have only signed up to receive online marketing communications from us and have never ordered or purchased anything from us, we would keep your personal information for up to 2 years after you last used an account with us or last consented to continue receiving direct marketing from us. In some limited circumstances, it may be necessary to keep your personal information for longer, for example if the information remains relevant to a dispute or legal case or claim.
We will not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and used.
For further information, you can contact our DPO at mydata@gymshark.com.If you are based in the EU, you can also contact our European Representative at gymshark@lionheartsquared.eu .

- Request details about how your personal data is used. This right is linked to the right of access set out below.

- Object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on a legitimate interest (ours or those of a third party) and there is something about your individual situation which makes it necessary to object to processing on this ground.
- Object to direct marketing where we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, such as contacting you about products we think may be of interest to you. This is an absolute right.
- Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to stop processing your personal data for a period of time where it is inaccurate or where there is a dispute as to whether or not your interests override our legitimate grounds for processing your personal data.

- Object to certain automated decision-making processes using your personal data.
You should note that some of these rights, such as the right to request that we transfer your personal data to another service provider or the right to object to automated decision-making, may not apply because they are subject to specific requirements and exceptions that may not relate to personal data recorded and stored by us. For example, we do not use automated decision-making in relation to your personal data that produces legal or other material effects for you, but we do use automated processing to show you relevant advertising. However, some of your rights do not have conditions, so your right to withdraw your consent or to object to processing for direct marketing are absolute rights.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact our DPO at mydata@gymshark.com . If you are based in the EU, you can also contact our European Representative at gymshark@lionheartsquared.eu .
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate safeguard to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to, or processed by, anyone who is not authorised to do so.
Although this privacy notice provides a general summary of your legal rights in relation to personal data, this is a complex area of the law. For more information about your legal rights please visit the ICO website at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/ .
