This policy explains what information Barbell & Bench collects when you use barbellandbench.com, and how it’s used. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site.
Information we collect
- Analytics data. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site — pages viewed, general location, device type, and which links get clicked. This is aggregated and not used to personally identify you.
- Contact form data. If you email us through the contact form, we receive the name, email address, optional phone number, and message you provide. We use it only to reply to you.
We do not sell your personal information, and we don’t run advertising trackers beyond analytics.
Cookies and tracking
Google Analytics sets cookies to measure site usage. Our affiliate links (through Amazon) may set cookies that let the retailer credit a purchase to us — this is how affiliate commissions work and is standard across the web. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still function.
Affiliate links
We use affiliate links, primarily to Amazon. When you click one and make a purchase, the retailer may record that the referral came from us so we can be paid a commission. This does not change your price. See our affiliate disclosure for the full explanation.
Third-party services
We rely on a few third parties to operate: Google Analytics for measurement, Amazon for product data and affiliate links, and our hosting and email providers. Each has its own privacy policy governing the data it processes.
Your choices
You can browse the site without providing any personal information. You can opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s browser add-on, block cookies in your browser, and choose not to use the contact form. To ask what information we hold about you or to request its deletion, email info@barbellandbench.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be reflected here.
