This Privacy Policy only applies to the TLGSA websites and does not apply to, and TLGSA is not responsible for, the privacy policies or practices of websites operated by third parties, even if they are linked to TLGSA websites. If you choose to link to or from another website to or from the TLGSA websites, you should refer to such other website’s privacy policy and practices and note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. This policy does not apply to user posts or other third-party content, including, for example posts to our Facebook or other social media site. We do not promise to keep such third-party content private, or to keep private the identity of such third-party contributors. Each TGLSA franchise is independently owned and operated by a franchisee and TLGSA cannot guarantee compliance by all franchisees with this Privacy Policy, although TLGSA will attempt to require franchisees to comply.
If you visit the TLGSA websites or download information we will automatically collect certain information (“Log Information”). Log Information may include the:
A “cookie" is a small data file that a Web site can place on your computer for record-keeping, administration, or to customize your experience. Other similar technologies that we use are web beacons and pixels. Cookies and other technologies permit us, franchisees, and selected marketing partners to customize and enhance your experience on our websites and their websites. For example, if you select the “Make This My The Little Gym Homepage" feature on a franchisee Web site, the software will place a cookie on your computer so that the next time you type www.thelittlegym.co.za, you will be directed to your selected franchisee Web site. You may block or remove cookies on your computer by following the instructions on your Web browser.
TLGSA may use the Log Information, cookies, and other technologies to manage and improve the websites; to analyse customer and prospect trends; to track inquiries and purchases; to develop and contact you about products, services and promotions; to enforce our Terms of Use; to protect TLGSA’s legal rights, or those of its customers and franchisees; and for purposes required by law.
We may use cookies and other technologies to deliver information and advertisements to you that better match your interests.
We currently use analytics to give us information about users and their experience on the site, to administer the site, to learn about visitor behaviour and demographics, and to improve our communications and services.
Third parties may collect personally identifiable information about an individual user’s online activities over time and across different Internet services when a user uses the TLGSA websites. At this time, we do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals sent from Web browsers or other mechanisms that provide users the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about a user’s online activities over time and across third party Internet services.

If you’re interested in working at a The Little Gym® location, you may send to any franchisee your resume by email or regular mail to the addresses posted on the careers page located on each franchisee Web site.

If TLGSA sends your information to a franchisee, TLGSA will ask the franchisee to not rent, sell, or otherwise disclose the personal information in your resume to any third party, but cannot guarantee that the Franchisee will not do so.
If we become involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, joint venture, securities offering, business rescue, reorganisation, liquidation, dissolution, or other transaction or if the ownership of all or substantially all of our business otherwise changes, we may share or transfer your information to a third party or parties in connection therewith, consistent with this Privacy Policy and legislation regulating the use of personal information. Any such persons will be bound to maintain any personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
