Cookie and Storage Technologies Policy

Why this policy covers more than cookies

Bodywise uses browser and device technologies that can store information or read information previously stored on a device.

These may include cookies, local storage, session storage, authentication/session technology and other application storage.

Essential storage

Essential technologies are used where required to:

• keep you signed in;
• protect account/security processes;
• remember your privacy choices;
• maintain necessary application state;
• preserve work that has not yet synchronised;
• complete a payment process that you chose to start.

Essential storage is not advertising

Essential technologies are not used merely to create an advertising profile.

Functional storage

Where applicable, optional functional storage may remember preferences such as appearance or non-essential interface choices.

Where consent is required, it is not activated before the relevant choice.

Analytics

Statistical analytics is used by default on the public Bodywise website and the Muscle & Strength Hub, to understand and improve them. The provider is Google Analytics 4, which sets its own first-party cookies (such as _ga) for this purpose.

It records aggregate information such as pages viewed, journeys between public pages, reading depth, link, button and download use, site search use (not the words searched), page performance, referring site and campaign tags, device and browser type, and approximate country or region.

It is not used for advertising, advert measurement, remarketing, profiling or personalisation. It never runs on signed-in application screens or inside the installed apps.

You can switch statistical analytics off at any time using Privacy choices in the website or Hub footer; it stays off in that browser until you switch it back on.

Other optional analytics, including first-party measurement, is not activated before a valid analytics choice where consent is required.

Advertising and personalised tracking remain off unless you give a separate consent, if they are ever introduced.

Bodywise attempts to minimise analytics information and does not intentionally send health values or free-text health/Coach content as analytics properties.

Analytics retention can include provider-controlled settings. Where a provider controls the period, Bodywise does not state an exact duration unless that configuration has been verified.

Withdrawal

You may change your privacy choices later.

Switching statistical analytics off, or withdrawing analytics consent, stops future analytics under Bodywise's control straight away and removes optional local values where the implemented technology supports removal.

It does not necessarily erase information that an external provider already processed lawfully before withdrawal.

Advertising

Advertising is currently OFF.

No advertising technology should become active merely because advertising code exists in the project.

If advertising is activated in a later release, Bodywise must first review applicable consent, privacy and advertising requirements.

Bodywise does not permit health, PAR-Q, injury, nutrition, DEXA, Coach, workout, progress, mood, stress or similar sensitive Bodywise information to be used to target advertising.

Meta

Bodywise uses the Meta Pixel on public website and Muscle & Strength Hub pages only. It measures visits and is on by default; it stops if you switch measurement off in Privacy choices.

It sends Meta (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd) page views, your browser details and Meta cookie identifiers so we can understand who visits the site and where visitors come from.

It never runs on signed-in app screens or inside the installed app, and no health, training, nutrition, body, mood or Coach information is ever sent.

You can switch it off at any time by switching statistical analytics off in Privacy choices; the pixel stops immediately.

Paddle website checkout

If you choose to purchase through the Bodywise website, Paddle's checkout may use technologies necessary to operate the checkout you initiated.

Those technologies are governed by Paddle's own applicable terms and privacy information.

Apple purchases

Native Apple App Store purchases do not use Paddle's website checkout.

Apple handles the App Store purchase through its own platform.

Clearing storage

You can clear cookies/site storage through your browser or device controls.

Clearing essential authentication/session storage may sign you out or remove unsynchronised local information.
