Who We Are
Welcome to TheLiftGuru where we simplify the process of getting stronger and better. Our website address is: https://theliftguru.com.
Comments
When you drop a comment on the site, we collect the info you fill out in the comment form plus your IP address and browser type. This helps us keep spam out and the community clean.
We may use an anonymized version of your email (a hashed string) to check with the Gravatar service if you’ve got a profile pic linked there. The Gravatar privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy. If your comment is approved, your profile image (if available) will show publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site (say for testimonials or transformation stories), make sure the files don’t contain location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors could potentially download and extract that data.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and site in cookies. This just makes things easier for your next visit—no need to retype everything. These cookies last a year.
When you log in, we use cookies to save login info and display settings. Login cookies last 2 days; display settings last a year. If you choose “Remember Me”, login sticks for 2 weeks. Logging out clears these cookies.
If you publish or update content (like a blog post or user profile), a cookie will save the post ID no personal data. It expires in 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some posts or pages may include embedded content (like workout videos, gym tutorials, or helpful articles). These behave just like you’d visited the source website directly. That means those sites might track your behavior or use cookies if you’re logged in over there.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We don’t sell your info.
How Long We Keep Your Data
If you leave a comment, it and its metadata stay on the site indefinitely. This helps us approve future comments faster.
If you create an account with us, your personal info is stored in your profile. You can view, update, or delete your info anytime (just not your username). Admins can also access and manage this info if needed.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Got an account or left a comment? You can request a file of the personal data we have on you, or ask us to delete it, unless we legally need to keep it for things like security or admin purposes.
Where Your Data Goes
Comments may be run through an automatic spam-checking service. This helps keep our community focused and free of junk.
