This information does not reveal your specific identity (such as your name or contact details) but may include technical details such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, and usage information. This data is primarily used for maintaining the security and operation of our Services, as well as for internal analytics and reporting purposes. Additionally, we may collect information through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services, including:

Account and Profile Management:
To create and maintain your profile on the website, allowing you to log in, interact with other members, post comments, and submit content.

3. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In Short: We may share your information with specific third parties only when necessary to operate our website, process payments, or comply with legal obligations.

We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

Service Providers and Third-Party Plugins:
To operate the website and provide its functionality, we rely on third-party services and plugins integrated into our platform. For instance, WordPress and associated plugins may process limited information to deliver features such as user registration, comments, or analytics.

We may share information if required by law, such as in response to a legal request, subpoena, or government investigation.

We do not sell or share your information with affiliates or business partners for promotional purposes. All sharing is conducted with the goal of ensuring your experience on the platform is secure, seamless, and aligned with our policies.

Here’s a revised version that reflects uncertainty about whether a cookie service is currently in use while ensuring clarity and compliance:

4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store information, though this may be limited as features are still being developed.

At present, we may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to enhance your experience when interacting with our Services. These technologies are typically used for:

Maintaining the security of our Services
Preventing crashes and fixing bugs
Saving your preferences and assisting with basic site functions

Some third-party plugins or services integrated into our website (e.g., payment processors like PayPal, analytics tools, or social media integrations) may also use tracking technologies. These tools may help us understand how users interact with our platform, but their primary purpose is to ensure functionality and improve performance.

As of now, we do not actively use cookies for advertising or behavioral tracking. If such features are introduced in the future, this policy will be updated, and you will be provided with the necessary controls to manage your cookie preferences.

For specific details on cookies and tracking technologies, including how to disable them if applicable, please review our Cookie Notice (to be added once implemented).

5. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?
In Short: If social login functionality is introduced, we may have access to certain information about you when you use it.

At this time, our Services do not offer the ability to register or log in using third-party social media accounts. However, we may implement this feature in the future to simplify the registration process and improve user convenience.

If and when social logins are introduced, using this option will allow us to receive certain profile information from your social media provider. The exact information we collect will depend on the social media platform but may include:

Your name and email address
Your profile picture
Other information you choose to make public on the platform

We will use this information solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or as clearly communicated to you at the time of collection.

Please note, however, that we have no control over how your personal information is collected, used, or shared by the social media platform itself. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any social media provider you use to better understand their practices and how you can adjust your privacy settings.

6. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?
In Short: Your information may be transferred, stored, and processed in countries outside your own, but we take steps to ensure its security.

Our business is based in the United Kingdom, and we use Hostinger.com to host our Services. The servers used by Hostinger may be located in multiple international locations. If you access our Services from outside the UK, your personal information may be transferred to, stored by, and processed in these facilities or in the facilities of third-party providers we work with (as detailed in the “WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?” section).

For residents of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, please note that the countries where your information is processed may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we comply with applicable laws and take appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information, such as implementing standard contractual clauses or other legal mechanisms for international data transfers where required.

If you have any concerns about how your information is handled, feel free to contact us at contact@himbodied.com.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice or as required by law.

We retain your personal information for as long as it is needed to provide the services outlined in this Privacy Notice or to comply with legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory obligations.

When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. If immediate deletion is not possible (for instance, if your data is stored in backup archives), we will securely store it and prevent further processing until it can be permanently deleted.

8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: Our services are strictly for individuals 18 years of age or older, and we do not knowingly collect data from minors.

This website is intended only for users who are 18 years of age or older. Access to the site requires age verification, and sensitive content is secured behind a paywall to further ensure compliance. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or process data from individuals under 18 years of age.

By using the Services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. If we discover that personal information from individuals under the age of 18 has been collected, we will deactivate the account and promptly delete the data.

If you believe we have unintentionally collected information from a minor, please contact us at contact@himbodied.com, and we will address the matter immediately.

9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: You have the right to review, update, or delete your account at any time. Your rights may vary depending on your location.

You can do this by contacting us using the details provided in the section “HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?” below.

Please note that withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your withdrawal. Additionally, in some cases, processing may continue on other lawful grounds permitted by applicable law.

Account Information
If you would like to review, update, or terminate your account, you can:

Upon receiving a request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and personal information from our active databases. However, certain information may be retained in our records to:

Prevent fraudulent activity.
Resolve disputes or troubleshoot technical issues.
Assist with investigations or comply with legal obligations.
Enforce our Terms of Service or other legal agreements.

We are committed to ensuring your privacy rights are respected and will assist you with any questions or concerns regarding your data.

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
In Short: We currently do not respond to Do-Not-Track (DNT) browser signals.

Most modern web browsers and some mobile operating systems or applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting. Activating this feature allows you to signal a preference to limit data collection about your online browsing activities.

However, as there is currently no uniform standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals, our website does not respond to DNT browser settings or similar mechanisms at this time. If a universally accepted standard for online tracking is established in the future, we will update this Privacy Notice to reflect our compliance with that standard.

For any questions about our data collection and tracking practices, please feel free to contact us via contact@himbodied.com.

11. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?
In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as needed to comply with relevant laws.

We may update this Privacy Notice occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be indicated by a new “Revised” date at the top of this page.

If we make significant changes to this Privacy Notice, we will notify you by either posting a prominent notice on the website or sending a direct notification.

We recommend checking this Privacy Notice regularly to stay informed about how we are protecting your information and complying with applicable laws.
