Members access to our clubs is via Biometric Recognition. The system removes the need to carry a membership card or remembering a code.
The Biometric system utilises a very low-resolution record of your fingerprint. This is converted to digital form and is stored within the turnstile. It is not possible for any third party to access the stored information, and it would be of no use to them if they were able to retrieve it.
This type of biometric recognition system is widely used by a large number of commercial enterprises and workplaces and bears no relation to the fingerprint and DNA recording systems used by the Police and other Government agencies.
Any fingerprint data registered is deleted automatically when you terminate your membership with Simply Gym.
No personal/financial information relating to you is stored on the club turnstiles or anywhere on site. Your direct debit is administered off-site, and all information is dealt with in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018.
