Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 02/02/26

 

Welcome to BarbellMedia! We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping your personal information safe. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your personal data when you use BarbellMedia’s website and services (our digital workout programs, including one-time purchases and subscriptions). It also outlines your rights and how we comply with UK data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). We have no third-party trackers or analytics on our site – so rest assured we are not collecting data for advertising purposes. Please read this policy carefully and contact us if you have any questions.

Who We Are

BarbellMedia (referred to as “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy) is the organization responsible for your personal data (the “data controller”). BarbellMedia is a UK-based provider of online fitness programs. If you need to reach us about this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please see the Contact Us section at the end of this document for our contact details. We take our data protection responsibilities seriously and aim to be transparent about how we handle your information.

What Data We Collect

We only collect data that we need to provide you with our services. This includes:

  • Account Information: When you create an account or make a purchase, we ask for information like your name and email address. We use your email to identify your account and to communicate with you (e.g. send purchase receipts or subscription details). You may also set a password, which is stored securely in our system (hashed and not visible to us).

  • Purchase & Subscription Data: Records of the digital workout programs you purchase (one-time or subscription-based) and your purchase history. For example, we keep track of which workout program or membership you bought and when, so we can grant you access and provide customer support.

  • Payment Information: We do not collect or store your full payment card details. Payments are handled by our trusted third-party payment processor (e.g. Stripe). When you make a purchase, your payment details (like card number, billing address) are provided directly to the payment processor via secure channels. BarbellMedia itself only receives limited information about the transaction – such as confirmation of payment, the last four digits of your card (for reference), and the transaction ID or status – but not the full card number or your bank details. (For more on how the payment processor handles your data, you can refer to Stripe’s own Privacy Policy on their website.)

  • Communications: If you contact us (for example, by emailing support or filling out a contact form), we will collect your name, email, and the content of your message. This helps us respond to your inquiries and improve our services.

  • Technical Data (Usage Information): When you use our site, some basic technical information is automatically collected by our web server. This includes your IP address, browser type, and device information, as well as timestamps of your visits. We use this information to ensure the website works correctly, for security monitoring, and to analyze site performance (e.g. to troubleshoot and prevent fraud or abuse). We do not use this data to track you across other sites, and we do not use any third-party analytics or advertising networks. In other words, we do not employ cookies or pixels for marketing or behavioral profiling. The only cookies we use are essential cookies to make our site function (for example, to keep you logged in or to remember what’s in your cart during checkout). These functional cookies are not used for tracking purposes.

We do not collect any sensitive personal data such as health information, ethnicity, religious beliefs, etc., as our services do not require this. Please refrain from providing such sensitive details on our platform.

No Third-Party Tracking: To reiterate, we have no third-party tracking tools embedded in our website. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook/Meta Pixel, or similar analytics or advertising trackers. This means we are not collecting data about your browsing behavior for advertising or sharing your data with advertisers. Your privacy is better protected as a result.

How We Use Your Data (Purposes and Legal Bases)

We will only use your personal data when we have a valid reason and legal basis to do so under data protection law. Under UK GDPR, each use of personal data must have a “lawful basis” (such as fulfilling a contract with you, complying with a legal obligation, your consent, or our legitimate interests). Below we describe what we use your data for and the legal basis for each:

  • To Provide Our Services: We use your information to create and manage your account, process your orders, and deliver the digital workout programs you purchased. For example, we need your name and email to register your account and send you access to the workouts, and we use your purchase data to grant you the correct program or subscription content. Legal basis: Contract – this processing is necessary to perform the agreement with you (i.e. to deliver the products or services you have requested). If you choose not to provide certain information (like an email address), we may not be able to provide the service or complete your purchase.

  • To Process Payments: We share necessary information with our payment processor (Stripe) to charge your card and complete transactions. This includes transmitting your payment details securely and receiving confirmation of payment. We also handle billing-related issues or refunds using your transaction data. Legal basis: Contract – processing your payment is part of delivering the service/purchase you requested. It’s also in our legitimate interest to prevent fraud and ensure secure payment processing. (Our use of payment data is strictly for transaction processing; as noted, we do not store your sensitive card details on our servers.)

  • To Communicate with You (Service and Transactional Emails): We will send you important emails about your purchases and account. This includes order confirmations and receipts, delivery of digital content or login credentials, subscription renewal notices, password reset emails, and any critical service announcements (for example, changes to our terms or downtime notifications). Legal basis: Contract – we need to send these communications to fulfill our service to you. In some cases, legal obligation may also apply (e.g. sending you a receipt for your purchase as required for record-keeping).

  • To Provide Customer Support: If you reach out with questions, feedback, or need help, we will use your information (like your email and past orders) to assist you. Legal basis: Legitimate interests – it’s in both your and our interests to resolve issues and ensure you have a good experience. We consider this use to have minimal impact on your privacy and you would reasonably expect us to use your data in this way when you contact us.

  • For Marketing (Newsletters and Updates): We will only send you marketing emails if you have specifically opted-in to receive them. This may include our newsletter, fitness tips, special offers, or updates about new programs. We obtain your consent for marketing, for example by asking you to tick a checkbox or sign up via a form. You have full control – if you do give consent, you can change your mind at any time (see “Your Choices” below). Legal basis: Consent – we rely on your consent to send promotional communications. This is required by law: we won’t send you marketing emails without your consent. (The only exception allowed by UK law is for existing customers under the “soft opt-in” rule, but even then we will always give you a clear opportunity to opt out in every message. Our practice is generally to respect your explicit choice.)

  • To Manage and Improve Our Website: We may use aggregated, non-identifiable information to understand how our site is performing and to improve our services. For example, we might look at overall subscription rates or page loading times. Note that we do this without using any external analytics trackers – any analysis is done using internal data or simple logs. Legal basis: Legitimate interests – we have a legitimate interest in improving our offerings and user experience. We ensure that any such analysis does not infringe on your privacy (we focus on high-level trends, not individual behaviors).

  • To Comply with Legal Requirements: We will use or retain your data where necessary to comply with laws and regulations. For instance, we keep transaction records for accounting and tax purposes. UK law may require us to retain certain purchase information for a minimum period (for example, financial records are typically kept for 6 years for tax compliance). Legal basis: Legal obligation – we are legally required to process or keep certain data. This may include cooperating with lawful requests from authorities or handling data subject rights requests.

  • Security and Fraud Prevention: We may process personal data (like IP addresses or account activity) to monitor for suspicious activity, prevent fraud, secure our platform, and protect our users. Legal basis: Legitimate interests – we have a legitimate interest in ensuring our website is safe and preventing misuse of our services. This helps protect both you and us from security threats.

What We Don’t Do: We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or significant effects on you. For example, we do not use algorithms to automatically refuse services or make decisions about you without human oversight. We also do not sell your personal information to any third parties.

How We Share Your Data

We treat your personal data with care and do not sell or rent it to third-party marketers. However, we do share certain data with trusted third parties when necessary to run our business, as explained below. Whenever we share data, we ensure it’s done securely and only for the purposes described in this policy. Key instances of data sharing include:

  • Payment Processing: As mentioned, we use third-party payment processors (such as Stripe) to handle payments. When you enter your payment details at checkout, you are actually providing them directly to Stripe via an embedded secure form. Stripe processes the payment and then tells us if it was successful. In this process, Stripe will receive information like your credit/debit card details, billing address, and the payment amount. We do not see or store your full card number or financial account data. Stripe is a data controller of your payment information in its own right; their use of your data is governed by their privacy policy. We only share with Stripe the information required to complete the transaction (e.g. your name, email, and purchase amount) and we receive confirmation. Stripe is PCI-DSS compliant and handles your payment data securely. If you want more details, please refer to Stripe’s Privacy Policy (available on their official website).

  • Email Service Providers: If you subscribe to our newsletter or marketing emails, we may use a third-party email service provider to help us manage our mailing list and send out emails (for example, services like MailChimp, SendGrid, or similar). We would provide your email address (and possibly your name) to that service solely for the purpose of sending you the emails you signed up for. These providers act on our instructions and cannot use your email for their own purposes. Every marketing email will include an unsubscribe link so you can opt out easily at any time.

  • Hosting and IT Service Providers: BarbellMedia’s website and data are hosted on secure servers provided by reputable hosting companies. Our web hosting provider (or cloud infrastructure provider) may technically process data (like storing it on a server or in a database) as part of their service to us. Similarly, we may use other IT vendors or software (for example, a customer support email system) that incidentally handle user data. We ensure any such providers implement strong security and confidentiality measures. They are not allowed to access or use your data except as needed to provide their service to us.

  • Analytics (None) and Advertising (None): We do not share your data with any analytics or advertising companies, since we do not use those services. We do not provide any information about you to social media advertising partners or data brokers.

  • Legal Requirements and Protection: We may disclose your information if we are under a duty to comply with a legal obligation (e.g., a court order or lawful request by public authorities), or to enforce/apply our terms of service or other agreements, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BarbellMedia, our users, or others. This could include exchanging information with law enforcement or regulators if required by law. We will only do this in accordance with data protection laws.

  • Business Transfers: If in the future BarbellMedia undergoes a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or part of our assets, user information (which may include your personal data) might be transferred to the new owner or successor as part of that deal. If that happens, we will ensure your data remains subject to the same protections described in this policy, and we will notify you (for example, via email or a prominent notice on our site) of any such transfer and any choices you may have.

In all cases where we share your data with service providers or partners, we only share the minimum information necessary for them to perform their function. We have agreements in place with these parties to ensure your data is protected. They must process your personal data in accordance with our instructions and applicable law, and they are not permitted to use it for anything else.

International Data Transfers: Our website is based in the UK. However, some of our service providers might be located outside of the UK (or European Economic Area). For example, if we use an email service or cloud provider based in the United States, your email address or other data might be stored or processed on servers in the U.S. When we transfer personal data outside the UK, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, as required by law. This may include using contracts approved by regulators (Standard Contractual Clauses) or relying on an adequacy decision (if the country has been deemed to have adequate data protection by the UK). These measures are designed to protect your data to UK standards regardless of where it is processed. If you have questions about international transfers of your data, feel free to contact us.

Data Retention – How Long We Keep Your Data

We will not keep your personal data for longer than necessary. We retain your information for as long as you have an account or an ongoing relationship with us, and for a period afterward if needed for legitimate purposes such as complying with legal obligations or resolving disputes. Here is how we approach retention:

  • Account Data: If you create an account, we will keep your account information while your account is active. If you choose to close your account or it becomes inactive, we will delete or anonymize your personal data associated with the account upon request, except for data we are required to keep for legal or operational reasons (explained below). In general, if you haven’t logged into your account or made a purchase in a long time, we may contact you to ask if you want your data deleted.

  • Purchase and Transaction Records: We retain records of your purchases and transactions for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for accounting and tax obligations. UK tax laws generally require businesses to keep transaction records for a certain number of years (commonly around 6 years). Thus, even if you delete your account or request deletion, we may need to keep basic purchase records (like invoices, payment history, and your name/email associated with a purchase) for up to six (6) years after the transaction, in line with legal requirements and the Limitation Act 1980 (which is the time period during which legal claims can be made). We will securely store this data and restrict access to it strictly for these compliance purposes.

  • Marketing Data: If you have given consent to receive marketing emails, we will retain your contact details for that purpose until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove your info. If you unsubscribe from our marketing, we will stop sending you emails and will remove your email from our active mailing list. (We may keep a record of your email on a “do not contact” list to ensure we respect your opt-out going forward, as required by law.) We periodically clean our mailing lists, so if you never open emails or interact over an extended time, we might remove your contact as inactive to protect your privacy.

  • Communications: If you contacted us (e.g. support emails), we may retain those communications for a period of time in case we need to reference past correspondence. Typically, we won’t keep routine customer service emails longer than necessary — usually no more than 1-2 years — unless they contain information we need to keep (for example, a notice of a problem that was resolved, which we might retain to ensure it doesn’t recur).

  • Web Logs: Our server logs and security logs (which contain IP addresses and visit timestamps) are generally kept for a short duration (a few months) for troubleshooting and security monitoring. We may retain specific logs longer if we believe it's necessary for security investigations or legal reasons (for example, investigating fraud or abuse).

Once the retention period expires or the data is no longer needed, we will either delete your personal data or anonymize it (so it can no longer be linked to you). For example, we might aggregate usage data so it’s not identifiable, and then use that aggregated data for analysis. When deleting electronic data, we use measures to ensure the data is irrecoverable. For physical records (if any), we would shred or securely dispose of them.

Please note, if you ask us to delete your personal data, we will do so in accordance with your rights (see “Your Rights” below). However, as noted, we may retain certain information when we have a legal obligation to do so or for establishing or defending legal claims. We will always inform you if that is the case.

Your Rights and Choices

As a user of BarbellMedia, and as a data subject under UK data protection law, you have a number of important rights regarding your personal data. We are committed to honoring these rights. Your key rights include:

  • Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and to obtain information about how we process it. This is commonly known as a “Subject Access Request.” We will provide you with a copy of your data in a reasonable timeframe (and in a common electronic format, if you make the request electronically). This allows you to verify the information we have about you.

  • Right to Rectification: If any of your personal data we have is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected. For example, if you change email address or notice your name is misspelled in our records, you can ask us to update it. We strive to keep your information accurate and up to date, and you can also update certain information directly by logging into your account profile (if our site offers that functionality).

  • Right to Erasure: Also known as the “right to be forgotten,” this means you can request that we delete your personal data. You can do this, for instance, if you no longer want to use our services. We will respect this request and erase your data provided that we don’t have an overriding legal obligation or legitimate reason to keep it (see the Data Retention section above for examples of when we might need to keep data). In practical terms, this could mean deleting your account and removing your personal details from our systems. Note that if you have an active subscription or outstanding transaction, we might need to retain certain records until those are concluded or as required by law, but we’ll inform you of that at the time if applicable.

  • Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to ask us to limit or “pause” the processing of your data in certain circumstances. For example, if you contest the accuracy of the data or have objected to our use of it (see right to object below), you can request restriction while we address your concern. This means we will store your data but not actively use it until the issue is resolved. Another scenario is if we no longer need the data but you need us to keep it for a legal claim – we would mark it to be used only for that purpose.

  • Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data when we are doing so under a legal basis of legitimate interests. If you feel our use of your data is not justified by our stated legitimate interests, you can object, and we will review your objection. The most clear-cut example of this is objecting to direct marketing: you can ask us at any time to stop using your data to send you marketing communications. If you object to marketing (or withdraw consent, in the case of email marketing), we will promptly honor that and cease marketing use of your data. You can also object to any profiling we might do for marketing (though we currently do not profile users in that way).

  • Right to Data Portability: For the data you have provided to us directly, and that we process by automated means on the basis of your consent or to perform a contract (for example, your account data or purchase history), you have the right to request that we provide this data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (like a CSV file). You also have the right to ask that we transmit this data to another service provider where technically feasible. This right is designed to make it easier for you to take your data to other services if you wish.

  • Right to Withdraw Consent: If we are processing any of your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. In our context, the main use of consent is for marketing emails. You can opt out of marketing by withdrawing your consent, which is as easy as clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any promotional email, or by contacting us directly (see “Your Choices” below). Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted before your withdrawal, and it won’t affect processing under other legal bases (for example, we might still process data under contract basis to fulfill an order you placed).

  • Right to Complain: If you believe we have not handled your personal data properly or you are unsatisfied with our response to any request you make regarding your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), which is the supervisory authority for data protection in the UK. You can contact the ICO at https://ico.org.uk or by phone/mail. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please do contact us first and we will do our best to resolve the issue.

These rights are subject to certain legal exceptions. For example, we might not be able to delete all your data if we are required by law to keep it (as mentioned), or we might refuse a repetitive request for access if it’s excessive. But we will assess and respond to each request we receive. Exercising your rights is free of charge in most cases. If you make a request, we will usually respond within one month (and we will inform you if we need more time, which can happen for complex requests).

Your Choices (Managing Your Data): In addition to your formal rights above, we want you to have control over your personal data:

  • You may review and update your account information at any time by logging into your account on our website (if an account feature is available). This is the easiest way to correct inaccuracies – for example, updating your email if it changes.

  • You can choose not to provide optional information. We only ask for what’s necessary. For instance, if we ever ask for info that isn’t required for the service, you can decline.

  • You can opt out of marketing communications as described below.

  • If you have any concerns about your privacy or wish to inquire about how we handle your data, you can always contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss or clarify.

Marketing Communications and Your Preferences

We want to ensure you only receive marketing if you want it. Here’s how we handle communications:

  • Opt-In Consent: We will ask for your consent before adding you to our marketing email list. For example, we may present a signup form or a checkbox (unchecked by default) that says “Yes, I want to receive updates and offers from BarbellMedia.” Unless you actively agree, we will not send you marketing emails. This approach follows the law’s requirements that marketing emails require explicit consent (aside from the limited “soft opt-in” case for existing customers). We prefer to play it safe and respect your choice upfront.

  • What We Send: Our marketing emails may include fitness tips, new workout program announcements, special promotions or discounts, newsletters with articles or success stories, or other updates about our services that we think might interest you. We will not spam you – we aim to send a reasonable periodic newsletter or occasional offers, not daily marketing blasts. You can expect quality content when you do hear from us.

  • Frequency: We’ll communicate at a frequency that we believe is relevant and not intrusive. If at any point you feel you’re getting too many emails, please let us know or simply unsubscribe – your feedback helps us adjust.

  • Unsubscribe Anytime: Every marketing email from us will contain an “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom. If you click that link and follow the instructions, you will be removed from our marketing list. You can also opt out by contacting us directly (for example, emailing us at our support or privacy contact and asking to be removed from marketing lists). We will process your opt-out request as quickly as possible. Once you opt out, we will not send you further promotional emails. There’s no cost to unsubscribe, and it will not affect any other services you have with us. You can still use the website and purchase programs even if you choose not to receive marketing messages.

  • Transactional vs. Marketing Emails: Even if you opt out of marketing emails, please note that you may still receive transactional or service-related emails from us. These are not marketing, but necessary communications for the service – for example, emails about your account, receipts for purchases, password resets, or important notices like changes to this Privacy Policy or security alerts. These will continue as needed for your use of our services.

  • Soft Opt-In for Customers: Under PECR, there is a concept known as “soft opt-in” which allows businesses in the UK to send marketing about similar products to existing customers who purchased something, provided certain conditions are met. While we primarily rely on explicit consent, we want you to know that if you have bought a workout program from us, we might send you information about similar workouts or subscriptions that could benefit you even if you didn’t explicitly subscribe to the newsletter, but only if: (1) the product is similar to what you bought, (2) we obtained your contact details during the sale, (3) we gave you a chance to opt out at the time (or will in the first email), and (4) you haven’t opted out. This is allowed by law as a limited exception (soft opt-in). Importantly, we will always give you a clear opt-out in every such email, and we will honor it if you decide to unsubscribe. Our aim is not to annoy you, but to provide value – for example, letting an existing customer know about a new advanced program related to one they already have. If you prefer not to receive any such communications, just opt out, and we won’t contact you for marketing again.

  • No Third-Party Marketing: We do not share your contact information with third-party companies for them to market to you. You will only receive promotional communications directly from BarbellMedia if you’ve signed up, and about our own products and content. We do not sell or rent our email list.

Your trust is important to us, so we strive to make our marketing practices respectful and compliant. If you ever have an issue (for example, you unsubscribed but still received something, or you have any other concern), please contact us and we will promptly investigate and resolve it.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are generally suitable for a general audience and we do not impose any age restrictions for accessing the basic content on our site. We realize that children (under 18) may be interested in fitness content and could access our site. However, protecting children’s personal data is important to us:

  • No Special Age Gates: We do not actively restrict children from viewing our site because our content (workout programs) is not adult or inappropriate in nature. That said, our services are primarily directed at adults who can purchase workout programs. If you are a minor, you are welcome to browse the site and even use the workouts (with appropriate supervision if needed), but certain actions like making a purchase will likely require involvement of a parent or guardian (since purchases require a payment method, etc.).

  • Children Under 13: We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent. In the UK, children under 13 cannot legally provide their own consent for online services in most cases, so if you are under 13, please obtain permission from a parent or guardian before providing any personal data to us or using our services. For example, if a child under 13 attempts to sign up for a newsletter or create an account, they should have a parent involved. We do not have a way to verify ages for every user, but if we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take prompt steps to delete that data from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe we might have information about your child under 13, please contact us so we can investigate and delete anything necessary.

  • Ages 13-17: If you are between 13 and 17 (inclusive), you should review this Privacy Policy with your parent or guardian to make sure you both understand it. While you may be able to consent to certain processing of your data from age 13 onward in the UK, we still encourage parental guidance for any minors using our site, especially when it comes to purchases. We do not offer any special treatment for teens versus adults in terms of data – all users’ data is handled as described in this policy – but we want families to be aware and comfortable with how information is used. We do not knowingly target any marketing to children specifically, and our content is not aimed at children in an exploitative way.

We have not designed any portion of our website to attract or entertain children under 13. The basic protections and terms in this Privacy Policy apply to all users equally. By using our site or providing your information, we will assume you are either an adult or a minor who has proper consent to use the site. If that’s not the case, please do not submit personal data.

Data Security

We take data security seriously at BarbellMedia. We have implemented a range of technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

  • Encryption: Our website uses HTTPS encryption (TLS) to ensure that data transmitted between your browser and our site (for example, when you enter information in forms or during checkout) is encrypted in transit. This helps prevent eavesdropping on the data as it travels over the internet.

  • Secure Storage: Personal data we hold is stored on secure servers. We use reputable hosting services that employ robust security protocols. Where possible, we encrypt or pseudonymize personal data at rest. For instance, passwords are stored as secure hashes, and sensitive data like payment tokens are handled through secure integrations with our payment provider.

  • Access Controls: Only authorized personnel at BarbellMedia (or our service providers) who need to access your data to perform their job are allowed to do so. Access to databases and systems containing personal data is limited and protected with strong authentication. Our staff are trained on the importance of privacy and security.

  • Payment Security: As described, we offload payment processing to Stripe, which is PCI-DSS compliant. This means industry-standard security for handling your credit/debit card information. We never see your full card details, which reduces risk.

  • Monitoring and Testing: We keep our website software and plugins up-to-date to patch security vulnerabilities. We also monitor our systems for suspicious activity and have procedures to detect and respond to potential data breaches. If we ever detected a security breach that affects personal data, we would inform affected users and the appropriate authorities (like the ICO) as required by law.

  • Backups: We maintain secure backups of critical data to ensure continuity of service and to prevent data loss. These backups are protected and only accessed if needed (e.g., for restoration after a server issue).

While we strive to protect your information, it’s important to note that no website or internet transmission is completely 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data, but we do our best to apply industry best practices. You also play a role in security: remember to keep your account credentials (login and password) confidential. Do not share your password with others, and use a unique, strong password for our site. If you suspect any unauthorized access to your account or any security issues, please notify us immediately.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

From time to time, we may update or modify this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. If we make significant changes, we will let you know by posting a prominent notice on our website or by emailing you (for major changes, we may do both). The “Last updated” date at the top of this policy will always indicate when the latest changes were made.

Changes are effective once posted to our site (unless otherwise indicated). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. If we update the policy, we may also keep prior versions for reference. If you have an account with us and the changes are substantial, we may provide an in-site notification or request you to review and acknowledge the new policy.

If you continue to use BarbellMedia’s services after a Privacy Policy update, that will signify your acceptance of the revised terms (to the extent permitted by law). If you do not agree with the changes, you should discontinue use of the site or contact us about closing your account, and you have the right to cease providing personal data. We’ll always aim to make any important changes clear and give you the chance to understand them.

Contact Us

We are here to address any questions or concerns you might have about your privacy. If you need to contact us regarding this Privacy Policy or any privacy-related matter, please reach out to us as follows:

  • Email: privacy@barbellmedia.com (For privacy inquiries or to exercise any of your data protection rights, emailing us is usually the quickest way. Please include the phrase “Privacy Inquiry” in the subject line for clarity.

  • Contact Form: You may also contact us through our website’s contact form, indicating that your request is about privacy.

We will respond to your inquiries as soon as possible, and certainly within any timeframe required by law. If you are contacting us to exercise a specific right (for example, requesting data deletion or a copy of your data), please provide enough information for us to verify your identity (for your protection) and to locate your data (e.g. the email associated with your account). We may ask for additional verification if needed, to ensure we don’t disclose data to the wrong person.

Your privacy is important to us. Thank you for trusting BarbellMedia with your fitness journey and your personal information. We are committed to keeping that trust by safeguarding your data and being transparent about our practices. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or about how we handle your data, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
