Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

BenchPressWorkout.com ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at benchpressworkout.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit the Site.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you contact us directly via email (at [email protected]) or submit an inquiry through our contact page, we collect the information you choose to provide. This typically includes your name, email address, message topic, and the text of your inquiry.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain diagnostic and technical information may be collected automatically by server logs and privacy-conscious analytics services:

• Anonymized or truncated IP address
• Browser type, engine, and version
• Operating system and device category
• Referring website or search query
• Pages viewed, interaction timestamps, and session duration

We use aggregated analytics (such as Google Analytics) strictly to understand user needs, monitor technical site health, diagnose broken links, and optimize page load speeds. We do not sell, rent, or trade this data.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site may use cookies and local storage tokens — small data files stored on your device — to enhance your browsing experience. These serve practical functional purposes:

• Persisting your preferred weight unit (pounds vs. kilograms)
• Remembering your color theme (light or dark mode)
• Aggregating anonymized site usage metrics through analytics

You can control, block, or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from using any of our interactive strength tools.

How We Use Information

Information collected through the Site is used exclusively to:

• Respond directly to your questions, feedback, or support inquiries
• Maintain site stability, security, and prevent abusive bot behavior
• Refine our calculations, biomechanical articles, and educational tools

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We maintain a strict zero-sale privacy standard. We do not sell, license, or monetize your personal information. Data is shared only with vetted infrastructure service providers (such as our hosting platform, content delivery networks, and analytics providers) solely to the degree required to keep the Site fast, secure, and operational.

Third-Party Services and External Links

The Site contains educational links to external research papers, biomechanical journals, and reputable strength federations. Third-party sites maintain their own independent privacy policies. We encourage you to review their terms when navigating outside BenchPressWorkout.com.

Data from Interactive Tools and Calculators

All interactive calculators and strength assessment tools across BenchPressWorkout.com (including our One-Rep Max Calculator, Barbell Plate Calculator, Strength Standards Analyzer, and Exercise Converters) operate 100% locally within your web browser.

Your barbell numbers, body weight, rep records, RPE selections, and custom plate inventories are calculated in real time using client-side JavaScript. None of your workout data is transmitted across the internet, logged in remote databases, or tied to personal identifiers. Your training numbers remain confidential on your device.

Data Retention

Inquiries sent to our contact address are retained solely as long as necessary to resolve your correspondence and maintain communication records. Diagnostic server logs are cycled and purged periodically.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to:

• Request access to any personal correspondence we hold regarding you
• Request correction or deletion of your communications
• Object to or restrict specific data processing activities

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] or via our contact page.

Children's Privacy

The Site is designed for a general strength training audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

Changes to This Policy

We may periodically revise this Privacy Policy to reflect technical enhancements or regulatory updates. Any revisions will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
