Privacy Policy

HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED

When you travel to a Muscle-Strength.net online or mobile page, transact, establish an account, or otherwise engage with us, we collect, process, and keep personal information about you and any devices you may use.

More examples of the many techniques we use to obtain information from and about you include:

Direct interactions:

By completing forms, contacting us by email, or in another way, you can give us your identity, contact information, and financial information. This includes any personal information you submit when you:

• Signup or pay for products or services via the website,
• Open an account on our website,
• Join up for our newsletters,
• Reach our support team,
• or provide feedback.

Interactions or technology that is automated:

As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect technical data about your computer, your usage patterns, and your browsing actions. Cookies, server logs, and other similar technologies are used to collect this personal information. If you visit other websites that use our cookies, we may also obtain Technical Data about you.

EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

We may share aggregated demographic data with our partners and/or advertisers. This has nothing to do with any personal information that may be used to identify a person.

We use a credit card processing company to charge customers for purchases.

We make portions of our customer data available to carefully selected organisations that provide things or services you may find useful if you order by phone, or email. If you do not want this information shared, please advise the operator while placing your order, or call Customer Service at (or handwrite "Do not share" on your order when placing it or mailing it in). Your opt-out sharing status will stay in force till you change your mind. Alternatively, you may make an online purchase and ask us to set your sharing status to opt-out for you.

We do not trade or distribute our customers' email addresses to third parties.

To protect the privacy of its users, this website takes all reasonable precautions. Sensitive data that users submit through the website is secured both online and offline.

Our order form uses SSL, the best encryption software available in the industry, to encrypt and protect sensitive data entered by users (like credit card numbers). The lock icon on web browsers like Google Chrome changes from being unlocked to locked when you're on a secure page, such as one that explains our ordering process, as opposed to being unlocked or open when you're "just surfing."

While we do our best to keep customer data secure offline, we also use SSL encryption to protect details online. At our offices, access to all user information is restricted, not just the sensitive information mentioned above. Personally, identifiable information is saved on servers in a secure environment.

If you have any concerns about the security of our website, please contact us.

To determine the proportion of users who access a particular website feature, for instance, we might combine your Usage Data. The combined data is treated as personal information and will be used following this privacy notice if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information to enable us to identify you directly or indirectly.

The cookies that Muscle-Strength.net may send to your device are listed here, along with information on what each cookie is used for. You can set up your browser to reject cookies (you can find out how to do this in the 'Help' menu of your browser), but please note that doing so will prevent you from using some customised features on our website.

To fully utilise the interactive elements of our website, your computer, mobile phone, or another device (collectively referred to as a device) must accept cookies.

Numerous tasks are accomplished by cookies, such as facilitating quick page switching, storing your preferences, and generally enhancing user experience. They can also contribute to making online advertisements more pertinent to you and your interests.

The operation of some parts of the site depends on cookies, and we use them to gather data about how the site is used, such as how frequently visitors return and what products they are interested in.

When a user visits a website, the browser of that website is asked to store a small amount of data (a text file) on the user's device called a cookie. This cookie allows the website to remember information about the user. When you return to our website later, this information is sent back to us ("first party cookies") or to a different website that recognises that cookie ("third party cookies"). Cookies are beneficial because they enable a website to identify a user's device.

Persistent cookies

These cookies hang around a user's device for the period listed in the cookie. Each time a user accesses the website that set the specific cookie, they become active.

Session cookies

The actions of a user during a browser session can be connected by these cookies, which are used by website operators. When a user opens a browser window, a session begins, and it ends when they close it. Session cookies are created for a limited time. All session cookies are erased when the browser is closed.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

We are unable to disable these cookies because they are essential for the website to operate. Normally, they are only set in response to your actions that constitute a request for services, such as when you set your privacy preferences, log in, access a secure area of the website, or fill out a form. The site's shopping baskets and e-billing features, for instance, won't function if you set your browser to block or notify you about these cookies. No personally identifiable data is kept in these cookies.

Functional Cookies

By storing your preferences in these cookies, the website can offer more functionality and personalization to enhance your user experience. This may entail keeping track of your user name, preferred language, geographical location, text size, typefaces, and other website customizations. They could be established by us or by outside businesses whose services we've incorporated into our pages. If you block particular cookies, some or all of these services might not function as intended.

Performance Cookies

To evaluate and enhance the functionality of our site, these cookies enable us to track the number of visitors and the origins of their traffic. They allow us to observe which pages are the most and least popular, as well as how users navigate the site. All information gathered by these cookies is aggregated and hence anonymous. If you disable these cookies, we will not know when you visit our site and will be unable to track its performance.

Log Files

We and our third-party tracking-utility partner collect certain information automatically and store it in log files, as is typical of most websites. Included in this data are internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

NOTIFICATION OF MODIFICATIONS

To ensure that our users are always aware of the data we gather, how we use it, and when (if ever) we reveal it, the site will always include a link to the most recent version of our privacy policy.
