SoulCycle Inc.'s ("SoulCycle") Children's Privacy Policy ("Children's Privacy Policy") is designed to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and contains important information about how we collect, use, and disclose the personal information we collect from children who we know to be under thirteen years old ("child"), who have registered to use our website, www.soul-cycle.com, and our mobile application (the "App") (collectively, the "Online Services").

Our Online Services are not targeted to children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from a child through the Online Services without first obtaining parental consent.
Once a parent signs their child under 13 up for SoulCycle classes in one of our studios, the child (now an "Authorized Child") may, with the parent's permission, use the Online Services to view, pay for and reserve classes, to review their class history, and to otherwise manage reservations (among other things), provided the parent consents to our collection, use, or disclosure of personal information about the Authorized Child through our Online Services. To provide consent, parents must sign a written consent statement in one of our studios when they sign up their Authorized Child to attend classes.
If a parent registers an Authorized Child to take classes, but does not consent to our collection of personal information from the child via the Online Services, the child will not be permitted to use the Online Services and make online reservations and payments, but may still be able to make reservations and payments in a studio.
Since our Online Services are not targeted to children, we do not age screen users who register for an account online, but have not created a studio account and completed the required registrations and consents to be eligible to take classes. Until a user completes a studio registration, they are not eligible to take classes. In such cases, we would not know if a user was under 13, and their information would be subject to the SoulCycle Privacy Policy. If we discover that we have collected personal information online from a child without parental consent, we will delete that information.
As described below, we collect information about an Authorized Child directly from the child or parent, as well as automatically through the Authorized Child's use of our Online Services.
Information We Collect Directly. When a parent gives permission for their Authorized Child to use the Online Services, we collect the Authorized Child's name and email address; the Authorized Child is then able to create and/or link an online account with their studio account. We also collect information from children when they contact us, register for an online account, reserve and pay for classes online, or otherwise interact with our Online Services, including name, email address, password, contact info, emergency contact details and payment information. We also may collect information about a child's workout preferences, such as the child's bike size and settings, and shoe size preferences, as well as other relevant profile information they provide us.
Information We Collect Automatically. We automatically collect information about the use of our Online Services through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies, including technologies designed for mobile apps. We combine this information with other information we collect about users including and Authorized Child.
Website: domain name; browser type and operating system; web pages viewed; links clicked; IP address; length of time the user visits our Site and or uses our Online Services; and referring URL or the webpage that led the user to our Site.
App: mobile device ID; device name and model; operating system type, name, and version; language information; activities within the App; and the length of time that the Authorized Child is logged into our App; calendar (with permission, in order to help keep track of upcoming classes); contact list (with permission, to allow the Authorized Child to identify an emergency contact and upload their contact information); location information (with permission, to help locate the nearest SoulCycle location; this feature may be turned off through the location settings on the mobile device).
Performance Metrics in Connected Studios: If you consent in-studio by signing our hard copy Minor Rider Form to allow your child to participate in SoulCycle classes, we may also collect information about your child's performance in particular SoulCycle classes, including but not limited to your distance, power/effort, cadence, speed, and heart rate. This information is automatically collected by connected equipment in identified SoulCycle studios where we have installed connected equipment such as bicycles and wearable devices to measure such performance metrics.
We use the personal information collected from Authorized Children through the Online Services for the following purposes:
To provide our services, to communicate with the Authorized Child or a parent about the use of our Online Services, to respond to inquiries, to fulfill orders, and for other customer service purposes.

For example, to send news and newsletters, special offers, and promotions, or to otherwise contact users about products or information we think may be of interest, including information about third party products and services.
