Privacy Policy
WalkingSpree Inc. is a wellness company that delivers products and services to help people monitor their activity and nutrition while motivating them to improve their overall well being. Because these products and services are customized to each individual and require the collection of personal information, we take special precautions to maintain the privacy of our members while at the same time providing them with the detailed and valuable information they desire from us. In order to give our members a positive overall Web site experience, including an in-depth analysis of their health and fitness, we sometimes ask for sensitive and personal information.
WalkingSpree is committed to protecting any personal information that you may provide to us. In particular, we believe it is important for you to know how we treat information about you that we may receive from this web site or through any reward program, special offer, communication, advertising, and other related services.

WalkingSpree also enables members to establish private clubs and communities and/or establish walking partners and buddies (collectively referred to as “Walking Clubs”), and WalkingSpree therefore stores both descriptive information about the group as well as a listing of its members.

When a member signs up for these services, we will share names or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.

When you join a Walking Club, you are electing to share your step data to that group for use in reporting and for comparison purposes. Participating in a Walking Club is done at your discretion and you can elect to cancel your participation in any group at any time.
Other than step and demographic data, your individual fitness and wellness information is used to provide the services available to you as a subscriber to chart and record your activities. This information is not shared in any way, other than to support the medical community. From time to time, WalkingSpree may participate in studies with accredited members in the medical community to provide empirical evidence on the benefits of walking and/or benefits of walking with coaching. WalkingSpree will ensure that any statistics shared at the individual level will only be published anonymously.
