Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

WodVault ("we", "our", or "the site") is a functional fitness workout database. We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about the data we collect. This Privacy Policy explains what information we gather when you visit our website and how we use it.

2. Information We Collect

WodVault does not require user accounts. When you browse our site, we may automatically collect:

• Log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and timestamps. This is standard for web servers and helps us maintain security and improve performance.
• Device information: Screen size, device type (mobile, desktop). Used to optimize display and user experience.
• Referrer data: How you arrived at our site (search engine, direct link, etc.). Used to understand traffic sources.

We do not collect personal information such as name, email, or address unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., via a contact form).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data to:

• Provide and maintain the website
• Improve site performance and user experience
• Detect and prevent technical issues or abuse
• Understand how visitors use our content
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

WodVault may use minimal cookies or local storage for:

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to function (e.g., theme preference, session data).
• Hosting/analytics: If we use analytics (e.g., Vercel Analytics), these help us understand traffic. You can opt out via browser settings or privacy tools.

You can disable cookies in your browser, though some features may not work correctly.

5. Third-Party Services

WodVault uses or may link to:

• Hosting (Vercel): Our site is hosted on Vercel. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.
• Affiliate links: We may include links to equipment retailers (e.g., Rogue, Amazon). When you click these links, you leave our site and their privacy policies apply. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

6. Data Retention

We retain log data only as long as necessary for security, debugging, and legal compliance—typically no longer than 12–24 months. Aggregated or anonymized data may be kept longer for analytics purposes.
