This policy explains what personal data Fitness Marble collects, why, and what choices you have. It applies to https://fitnessmarble.com/.
Who we are
Fitness Marble is published by Arthur Sterling, a pen name used by the site’s founder and editor. You can reach us at contact@fitnessmarble.com.
What we collect
- Messages you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you give it, and the content of your message.
- Technical data. Our web host and analytics tools record your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit, the page that referred you, and the time of your visit.
- Cookies and similar technologies. See “Cookies, analytics and advertising” below.
The site has no user accounts, and comments are turned off, so we do not store comments or passwords.
How we use it
We use this data to reply to you, to run and secure the site, to understand which articles are useful, to show advertising, and to meet legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data for money.
If you are in the UK or EEA, our legal bases are: your consent (for non-essential cookies and personalised ads), our legitimate interest in running and improving a secure website, and legal obligation.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
Essential cookies keep the site working. Other cookies are used only if you accept them in the cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by clearing this site’s cookies in your browser, which shows the banner again.
Advertising. We may use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners, as third-party vendors, use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at https://adssettings.google.com or at https://www.aboutads.info. Where the law requires it, for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used. Google describes how its advertising products use data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Who we share data with
We share data only with service providers that help us run the site, such as our web host, analytics and advertising partners, and when the law requires it. Some of them may process data outside your country, including in the United States.
How long we keep it
We keep emails only as long as we need them to deal with your request. Server and analytics data are kept for the periods set by our host and analytics tools.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its use, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local data protection authority. California residents have similar rights under California law. We do not sell personal information for money. To make a request, email contact@fitnessmarble.com. We may need to confirm who you are before we act on it.
Links to other sites
We link to sites such as the CDC, WHO and NIH. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their policies.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has sent us data, email us and we will delete it.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the data we hold, but no website or email service is completely secure.
