Privacy Policy
Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.thefitbloom.com.
This website is operated by Alfredo Scarlata, Vienna, Austria.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve user experience. If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit the login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine browser compatibility. It contains no personal data and is discarded when the browser is closed.
When you log in, we set cookies to store your login info and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; display cookies for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login duration to two weeks. Logout deletes login cookies.
When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie will be saved with no personal data — it simply indicates the post ID and expires after 1 day.
Use of Borlabs Cookie
This website uses Borlabs Cookie, which sets a technically necessary cookie to store your cookie consent. Personal data is not processed here. Details can be found in the Borlabs Cookie privacy policy.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, images, links to Udemy). These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content — as if you visited the other website directly.
We cannot control third-party services, and you are encouraged to review their privacy policies individually.
Contact Forms (WPForms)
If you use a contact form on our site, we collect your name, email address, and message content to respond to your inquiry. Data is stored securely and is not shared with third parties.
We retain form submissions for up to 6 months for customer service purposes unless otherwise requested.
Analytics
This website may use privacy-friendly tools to understand how visitors use our site (e.g., server-side analytics or anonymized tracking). No personally identifiable data is stored without consent.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Otherwise, your personal data will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent.
How long we retain your data
Comments and metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve future comments automatically.
For registered users (if any), personal info is stored in user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their info anytime (except username). Admins can also view and edit that data.
What rights you have over your data
You may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you or request its deletion. This does not include data we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
