This Privacy Policy explains how Fit-Strive (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit fit-strive.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.
Who We Are
Fit-Strive is a fitness gear review and buying-guide website founded by Asif Shah. You can reach us at hello@fit-strive.com.
Information We Collect
Information you give us
- Contact form submissions — your name, email address, and message content.
- Email subscriptions — your email address, if you sign up for updates.
- Comments — your name, email, and comment text, plus your IP address and browser user agent (standard WordPress behaviour, used for spam detection).
Information collected automatically
- Usage data — pages viewed, time on site, referring website, approximate location, device type, browser, and operating system.
- Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored on your device to remember preferences, measure traffic, and track affiliate referrals.
How We Use Your Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
- To respond to your enquiries and messages.
- To send updates or newsletters, where you have opted in.
- To understand which content and products readers find useful.
- To detect and prevent spam, abuse, and security issues.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
Affiliate Links
Fit-Strive participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and the AliExpress Affiliate Program. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
When you click an affiliate link, the merchant may place a cookie on your device that identifies Fit-Strive as the referring site. If you then make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We do not receive your payment details, address, or order contents — only aggregate commission reporting.
Purchases made on a merchant’s website are governed by that merchant’s own privacy policy and terms, not ours.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third parties, each of which may collect data under their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics — website traffic and usage analytics.
- Amazon Associates and AliExpress — affiliate referral tracking.
- Hostinger — website hosting and email.
- Google (Gmail) — handling of email sent to our business address.
- TikTok — embedded content and advertising measurement.
Cookies
Cookies on this Site fall into three broad categories:
- Essential — required for the Site to function.
- Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the Site.
- Affiliate and advertising — track referrals and measure ad performance.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect how parts of the Site work.
Data Retention
Contact form messages and email subscriptions are kept until you ask us to delete them. Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so follow-up replies can be recognised. Analytics data is retained according to the provider’s default retention settings.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Residents of the EU/UK (GDPR) and California (CCPA/CPRA) have specific statutory rights in these areas, including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information — which we do not do.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@fit-strive.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
External Links
The Site links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or security. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and the “Last updated” date above will reflect the most recent revision.
