Privacy Policy

Fitlydoo is a free health calculator and educational resource website. We collect a minimal amount of information to operate the site, improve our services, display relevant advertising, and respond to user enquiries.

The information we collect falls into two categories: information you voluntarily provide to us (such as through contact forms or newsletter signups) and information automatically collected when you visit the site (such as usage data and cookie information).

We collect information you choose to give us through the following:

• Contact form submissions: When you submit a message via our Contact page, we collect your name, email address, subject, category, and message. See Section 8 for full details.
• Newsletter signups: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. See Section 7 for full details.
• User feedback: Any feedback or suggestions you choose to share with us via email or contact form.

You are never required to provide this information to use the Fitlydoo calculators or read our educational content.

When you visit Fitlydoo, certain information may be automatically collected by our hosting infrastructure and third-party services. This may include:

• IP address: Your internet protocol (IP) address, used for security, fraud prevention, and approximate geographic location.
• Browser information: The browser type and version you are using (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
• Device information: The type of device you are using (e.g. desktop, mobile, tablet) and operating system.
• Usage data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URL, links clicked, and other interaction data.

This information is collected through cookies, analytics scripts, and standard web server logs. See Sections 4 and 5 for more details.

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. Fitlydoo uses cookies to improve site functionality, analyse traffic, and serve relevant advertising.

The types of cookies used on Fitlydoo include:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled and do not collect personal data.
• Analytics cookies: Set by analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect anonymous data about how visitors use the site. This helps us understand which pages are popular and how we can improve.
• Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense and its ad partners to deliver relevant advertisements. These cookies may track your browsing activity across websites to show personalised ads.
• Preference cookies: May store your preferences (such as unit settings) to improve your experience on return visits.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site or the ads you see.

Fitlydoo uses website analytics to understand how visitors interact with our content. This helps us improve calculator accuracy, content quality, and the overall user experience.

Google Analytics (placeholder — to be added): We intend to integrate Google Analytics to collect anonymised usage data. This may include pages viewed, session duration, geographic region, device type, and traffic sources. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data.

Analytics data is used only to improve the website and is never used to personally identify individual visitors.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Fitlydoo displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. These ads help support the free operation of the site.

Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to collect data about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements based on your interests.

How ads are personalised: Google uses your browsing history, search activity, and demographic information (age, gender, interests) inferred from your online behaviour to display ads that are relevant to you. This is known as interest-based advertising.

Controlling personalised ads: You can manage or opt out of interest-based advertising from Google by visiting Google Ad Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
