Privacy Policy

Effective Date

This Privacy Policy is effective as of June 19, 2026.

Introduction

Strong and Young LLC ("Strong and Young," "we," "us," or "our") operates the high-performance strength gym located at 1209 Mountain Rd PL NE STE N, Albuquerque, NM 87110, USA, and maintains the website at strongandyoung.com (the "Site"). We are committed to being transparent about how we handle information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding it.

This Site does not offer e-commerce transactions and does not require you to create an online user account. Our data practices are therefore limited in scope, and we have written this policy in plain language to reflect that reality.

Information We Collect

### Information You Give Us Directly

If you fill out a contact form, send us an email, or otherwise reach out to us voluntarily, we may receive:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your phone number (if you choose to provide it)
  • The content of your message, including any questions, comments, or information about your fitness goals

We do not collect payment card numbers, Social Security numbers, or any other sensitive financial or government-issued identification through the Site.

### Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, our web server and standard internet infrastructure automatically record certain technical data, including:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring URL (the page you came from before landing on our Site)
  • Pages viewed and the date and time of your visit
  • HTTP request and error logs

This information is recorded in standard server log files maintained by our web host. It is used for security monitoring, diagnosing technical problems, and understanding general traffic patterns. We do not use this data to build individual profiles or track you across other websites.

### Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect:

  • Biometric data
  • Health or medical records
  • Financial account information
  • Government-issued identification numbers
  • Data from children under 13 (our Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect their information)

How We Use It

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

1. To respond to your inquiries. When you contact us by email or through a contact form, we use your name, email address, and message content to reply to you and address your questions.

2. To operate and maintain the Site. Server log data helps us keep the Site running, identify errors, and protect against unauthorized access or abuse.

3. To improve our services. Aggregate, non-identifiable traffic data helps us understand which pages are most useful and how visitors navigate the Site, so we can make improvements.

4. To comply with legal obligations. We may use or retain information as required by applicable federal, state, or local law, or in response to a valid legal process such as a court order or subpoena.

5. To protect rights and safety. We may use information to investigate potential violations of our policies, prevent fraud, or protect the safety of our staff, members, and the public.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Cookies & localStorage

### Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. The Site uses only the following categories of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These are set by our web server or content management system to ensure the Site functions correctly (for example, to remember your session state if you navigate between pages). These cookies do not track you for advertising purposes and cannot be disabled without breaking basic Site functionality.

We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or cookies placed by third-party ad networks.

### localStorage

The Site may use your browser's localStorage feature to store small pieces of data on your device — for example, to remember a display preference you have set (such as a color theme or a dismissed banner). This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers except as part of a normal page request. You can clear localStorage at any time through your browser settings.

### Managing Cookies and localStorage

You can control cookies through your browser's settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working properly. Instructions for managing cookies are available in the help documentation of your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.).

Third-Party Services

### Email Delivery

All email sent through the Site — including messages submitted via contact forms — is handled by our web host's mail server using PHP and Exim. Email is processed entirely on our own hosting infrastructure. We do not use a third-party email marketing platform or transactional email processor (such as Mailchimp, SendGrid, or similar services). Your message travels from your email client or browser to our server and is stored in our server-side mailbox.

### Analytics

If we use any web analytics tool, it is configured to anonymize IP addresses and does not allow the analytics provider to identify you personally. We will update this policy if we add or change analytics services.

### Embedded Content and External Links

The Site may contain links to external websites (for example, our social media profiles). When you click a link to an external site, you leave our Site and that site's own privacy policy governs. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.

We do not embed third-party advertising widgets, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking buttons that collect your data without your knowledge.

### No Data Brokers or Data Sales

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with data brokers or any third party for their own marketing purposes.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.

| Type of Data | Retention Period | |---|---| | Contact form submissions and email correspondence | Up to 2 years from the date of last communication, then deleted or anonymized | | Server access and error logs | Up to 90 days, then automatically overwritten or deleted | | localStorage data | Stored on your device until you clear it; we do not control this |

After the applicable retention period, we delete or anonymize personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. If you request deletion before the end of a retention period, we will honor that request unless we are legally required to retain the data (for example, to comply with a litigation hold or tax record requirement).

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have specific legal rights regarding your personal information. We honor the rights described below regardless of whether you are a California resident, a resident of the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, or a resident of any other jurisdiction.

### Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

  • Right to Know. You may request that we disclose what personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the business or commercial purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
  • Right to Delete. You may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (for example, information we are legally required to retain).
  • Right to Correct. You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because we do not engage in these activities, there is nothing to opt out of, but you may contact us to confirm this at any time.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. We will not deny you services, charge you different prices, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised a privacy right.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in the Contact section below. We will respond within 45 days of receiving a verifiable request. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

### Rights Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the GDPR or equivalent laws may apply to you. Our legal basis for processing your personal information is:

  • Legitimate interests — for server log data collected automatically to operate and secure the Site.
  • Performance of a pre-contractual relationship or your consent — for information you voluntarily submit when contacting us.

You have the following rights:

  • Right of Access. You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification. You may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Right to Erasure ("Right to Be Forgotten"). You may ask us to delete your personal information when it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, or when you withdraw consent.
  • Right to Restrict Processing. You may ask us to pause processing of your data in certain circumstances.
  • Right to Data Portability. You may request that we provide your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
  • Right to Object. You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests. We will stop processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In the EU, this is the supervisory authority in your member state. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in the Contact section below. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request, as required by the GDPR.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the Site after a revised policy is posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
