Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This Privacy Policy describes how Forcenature ("we," "us," or "our"), operating at forcenature.world, collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you use our website, purchase morning walk products, join walk groups, or otherwise interact with our services in San Antonio, Texas, and across the United States.

1. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to all personal data processed in connection with our morning walk group services and related products, including but not limited to Guided Sunrise Walk Passes, Weekly Group Memberships, Trail Starter Kits, route registrations, contact form submissions, and customer support communications. By accessing forcenature.world or purchasing our products, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us when you fill out contact forms, register for a walk group, order walk gear, or communicate with our team. This may include your full name, email address, phone number, mailing address for product delivery, preferred walk schedule, fitness experience level, and any messages you include in correspondence.

When you purchase a Guided Sunrise Walk Pass, we collect transaction details including product selection, payment confirmation references, and attendance records for the scheduled session. For Weekly Group Membership subscriptions, we additionally collect billing cycle preferences, chosen walk day, and membership renewal status.

When you order a Trail Starter Kit, we collect shipping information, product configuration details, and order history to fulfill and support your purchase. We may also collect feedback you voluntarily provide about our products and walk experiences.

We automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, including IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, referring URLs, and interaction timestamps. This data helps us maintain site security, analyze usage patterns, and improve the user experience on forcenature.world.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to process and fulfill orders for walk passes, memberships, and trail gear. This includes confirming your registration, sending route meeting points, coordinating group assignments, and delivering physical products to your address.

We use contact details to respond to inquiries, provide customer support, send service-related notifications such as schedule changes or weather-related walk updates, and manage membership renewals or pass validity periods.

We analyze aggregated website usage data to improve our online presence, optimize page performance, and understand which routes and products generate the most interest among visitors to forcenature.world.

Where you have provided consent through our contact form checkbox or cookie banner, we may use your information for additional purposes clearly described at the point of collection, such as sending informational updates about new routes or seasonal walk programs.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

We process personal data based on one or more of the following grounds: performance of a contract when you purchase walk passes, memberships, or gear; legitimate interests in operating and improving our morning walk group services, ensuring participant safety, and preventing fraud; compliance with applicable legal obligations; and your explicit consent where required, such as for optional marketing communications or non-essential cookies.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing payments, delivering Trail Starter Kits, sending transactional emails, or hosting infrastructure. These providers are contractually obligated to handle data only on our instructions and maintain appropriate security measures.

We may disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Forcenature, our walk participants, or the public.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction, subject to continued protection consistent with this Privacy Policy.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including satisfying legal, accounting, and reporting requirements. Walk pass and membership records are typically retained for the duration of your active relationship with us plus a reasonable period thereafter for dispute resolution and record keeping.

Contact form submissions are retained for up to twenty-four months unless a longer period is required for ongoing correspondence or legal compliance. Technical logs and analytics data are retained in aggregated or anonymized form where possible.

7. Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted connections via HTTPS across forcenature.world, access controls limiting employee data access to authorized personnel, and regular review of our security practices.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but commit to notifying affected individuals and relevant authorities of significant breaches where required by applicable law.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to object to certain processing activities. You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details provided on our meet-us page. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable regulations. You may also manage cookie preferences through our cookie banner and Cookies Policy.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website and walk group products are not directed at children under the age of thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly. Minors aged thirteen to seventeen may participate in walks only with verified parental or guardian consent and supervision as outlined in our Terms of Use.

10. International Transfers

Forcenature operates primarily in the United States. If you access our services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using our services, you consent to such transfers subject to appropriate safeguards where required.
