PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THIS SITE AND WHY IT IS COLLECTED BODYFIT collects personal information from its users/partners/customers only when they voluntarily provide it. Personal information is information that can be used to identify or communicate with an individual, as well as other information concerning that individual, and in any case, it is all information that is explicitly mentioned in the BODYFIT Privacy Policy. The administrator may use this information for informational purposes or to propose new offers, unless the latter does not wish to do so.

A. We collect basic information from you when you sign up for our newsletter, which includes your name and email address. We also record your email address and any other information provided to your email provider (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo! Mail, etc.) when you contact us. Along with this, we also keep notes or details that explain what you requested and how we responded when you contacted us. We also use cookies and similar technologies on our website to collect information about interactions and usage. Please refer to the Cookies Privacy Policy section for more information about the specific type of information we may collect and your choices regarding this data. B. This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons. Website traffic tracking Like most websites, this one uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, to better understand how they find and use our pages, and to see their journey through the website. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, your device, your web browser, and your operating system, none of this information identifies you personally to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to identify you, but Google does not provide us with access to it. We consider Google to be a third party data processor that is compliant with European law. Contact forms and email links If you choose to contact us using a contact form or a link in our email, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transferred to or processed by any third party data processor, as defined below in the section “Our third party data processors”. Instead, this data will be sent to us in an email message via the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) protocol. Our SMTP servers are protected by the TLS security protocol (sometimes known as SSL), which means that the email content is encrypted before it is sent over the internet. The email content is decrypted by our local computers and devices. SHARING DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES We may share your personal data with trusted third-party service providers as necessary for them to perform services on our behalf. Examples of data sharing include cookies, your IP address, your email address and your name. Your email address and name are only used with trusted services that we use to create newsletters. We only share the minimum information necessary, and third parties are not allowed to use your information for any other purpose, as stated in our Privacy Policy. Each third party we use also complies with the GDPR regulations. Third-party services, tools and widgets we use Below you can find the list of all third-party tools, services and widgets we use, as well as links to information about how these services manage your data.

We recommend that you review the privacy statements of these social media, so that you are informed about the procedures they apply regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal and non-personal information. Our website runs on the open source WordPress platform and, as such, we use some essential plugins to make our website work better.

Secure communication channels: We encrypt personal data provided to us via web forms using up-to-date standards to prevent interception of transmitted information. DATA BREACHES For any personal information stored in our database, all necessary measures will be taken to secure it. We will report any illegal breach of the database of this website or the database of any third party data processor to any and all directly interested parties as well as to the authorities within 72 hours of the breach, if it is obvious that personal data stored in an identifiable form has been stolen. To stop receiving newsletters, promotional e-mails, as well as to stop any communication with us, simply click on the “Unsubscribe from our list” link at the end of each of our newsletters and all your personal data will be automatically deleted at that time.

Your IP address as well as cookies are collected by third party services, including Google Analytics and Google Adsense. Both services comply with the GDRP regulations and all data on our website is automatically deleted every 38 months.
