Your privacy matters to me. This policy explains, in plain English, what information BeginnerFitPath (“we,” “I,” “the site”) collects when you visit beginnerfitpath.com, how it’s used, and the choices you have. This site is based in the United States and is intended for a U.S. audience.
Who I am
BeginnerFitPath is an independent health-and-fitness blog run by Atif Tufail. If you have any privacy questions, send me a message through the Contact page.
Information I collect
- Messages you send me. If you use the contact form, I receive your name, email address, subject and message. The message is emailed to my inbox, and a copy of the most recent 100 messages is kept in this site’s database so nothing is lost if an email fails.
- Newsletter sign-ups. If you sign up for the 4-Week Beginner Program emails, I store your email address so I can send them. Sign-ups use double opt-in, so nothing is sent until you confirm.
- Comments. If you leave a comment, the name, email address and any website you enter are stored with it. Your email address is never shown publicly.
- Information collected automatically. Like almost every website, my web host records standard technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to keep the site secure and running.
Cookies and local storage
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The site itself uses very few: WordPress may set a cookie if you leave a comment, so you do not have to type your details again. If ads are shown, Google and its partners use cookies as described below. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Some tools, such as the workout tracker and the “saved results” lists, store your entries in your own browser (local storage). That information stays on your device and is never sent to me.
Analytics
I don’t currently use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics. If I add one in the future, I’ll update this policy first and explain what it collects.
Advertising
BeginnerFitPath may show ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. If any other ad network is used on this site in the future, it will be named here with a link to its opt-out page.
Affiliate links
This site does not currently use affiliate links. If that changes, I’ll update this policy and my Affiliate Disclosure, and label those links clearly.
Email & newsletter
If you sign up for my emails, I’ll use your email address only to send the content you asked for. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email. I will never sell your email address.
How I use your information
I use the information above to run and improve the site, reply to your messages, send emails you’ve requested, show ads where they appear, and keep everything secure. I do not sell your personal information.
Your privacy rights (including California)
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information a site holds about you, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of it. California residents have these rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). To make a request, send me a message through the Contact page and I’ll help.
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided me information, please contact me and I’ll delete it.
Data retention & security
I keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, and I take reasonable steps to protect it. No website can promise perfect security, but I do my best to keep your data safe.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time. When I do, I’ll change the “last updated” date at the top. Significant changes will be made clear on this page.
