Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly, for example when you post comments, create an account, or contact us. We also collect information automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, referring pages, and approximate location based on IP. If you upload media, files may include embedded metadata. You should remove location data before uploading images, since visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address, also called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at 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, avoid uploading images that include embedded location data, also called EXIF GPS. Other visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content, for example videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics and Advertising
We may use analytics services, for example Google Analytics, to help us understand site traffic and usage. These services may set their own cookies or read existing cookies. We may also participate in contextual or interest based advertising. Where required, we will obtain your consent before setting non essential cookies. You can opt out of certain analytics or interest based advertising through your browser or device settings or through the consent banner where available.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to operate and improve the website, provide and moderate comments, personalize content, analyze usage, prevent spam and abuse, secure our services, and comply with legal obligations. With your consent where required, we may send you communications such as newsletters or updates, and you can opt out at any time.
Legal Bases for Processing, EEA and UK Users
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases: performance of a contract, for example providing requested services; legitimate interests, for example site security, analytics that respect privacy, and improving our services; consent, for example non essential cookies and marketing communications; and compliance with legal obligations. You can withdraw consent at any time, which does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Your Rights, EEA and UK Users
Subject to legal limits, you may have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@athletenonstop.com.
Your Rights, California Residents
If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA and CPRA. These include the right to know, delete, correct, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross context behavioral advertising. We do not knowingly sell personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. To make a request or to exercise your right to opt out, contact privacy@athletenonstop.com or use the Do Not Sell or Share link if available. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Who We Share Your Data With
We share information with service providers who help us operate the website and provide services, for example hosting, analytics, security, email delivery, and spam detection. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We require service providers to safeguard your information and to use it only for our instructions, subject to applicable law.
International Data Transfers
We are based in the United States and may transfer your information to the United States and other countries that may have different data protection laws than your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, for example Standard Contractual Clauses, and we take additional measures when necessary to protect your data.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely, so we can recognize and approve follow up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue. For users who register, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except the username cannot be changed. Website administrators can also see and edit that information. We retain other personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To make a request, contact privacy@athletenonstop.com.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is fully secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the site at your own risk.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed to children under 13 years of age, or under 16 where that is the applicable minimum. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer Do Not Track signals. There is no universal industry standard for responding to these signals. At this time, we do not respond to Do Not Track signals. We will update this notice if standards emerge and we choose to support them.

Our site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. If we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page with a new effective date. Your continued use of the site after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
Effective Date
