Privacy Policy

Information we collect

Information you provide

• Account information: If you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash). We do not collect payment information.
• Contact messages: If you contact us via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content in order to respond.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data: We may collect information about pages visited, time spent on pages, and navigation patterns to understand which content is most useful.
• Cookies: We use session cookies for account authentication (HttpOnly, not accessible to JavaScript). We may use analytics cookies or affiliate tracking cookies — see the affiliate disclosure section below.
• Log data: Our web server logs may capture IP addresses, browser type, and referring URLs as part of standard server operation.

How we use your information

• To provide and maintain account access
• To respond to contact messages and editorial corrections

• To understand site usage and improve content organization
• To process affiliate link clicks (see affiliate disclosure below)

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information to send unsolicited marketing emails.

Affiliate tracking

Some links on FitAtHome are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, a tracking cookie may be set by the retailer or affiliate network to attribute the sale. This is standard practice for affiliate marketing and is required for us to receive commissions.

Affiliate tracking cookies are set by the destination retailer or affiliate network — not by FitAtHome directly. These cookies are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties.

Read our editorial policy for information on how affiliate relationships affect (or do not affect) our editorial recommendations.

Cookie management

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect account login functionality. Blocking third-party cookies may prevent affiliate tracking but will not affect your ability to browse content.

Data retention

Account information is retained while your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us. Contact form messages are retained for the period needed to address the inquiry, then deleted. Server logs are retained for a limited period as required for security and operational purposes.

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us.
