BMI Hero ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website bmihero.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our site, how we use it, and your rights. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to being transparent.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Enter Into Our Tools
When you use our BMI calculator, calorie calculator, or other health tools, you may enter information such as your height, weight, age, and sex. This data is processed entirely in your browser and is never sent to our servers. We do not store, transmit, or have access to any health information you enter into our calculators.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including:
- Your IP address (anonymised)
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring website
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
This information is collected through analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to help us understand how people use our site and improve our content. It is not used to identify you personally.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies to improve your experience:
- Preference cookies: We store your dark/light mode preference in your browser's localStorage. This stays on your device and is never sent to us.
- Analytics cookies: If we use Google Analytics, it may set cookies to track aggregate site usage. You can opt out via your browser settings or the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
2. Affiliate Links
Some pages on BMI Hero contain affiliate links to products on third-party sites such as Amazon. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for their data practices. We only recommend products we genuinely believe in.
3. How We Use Information
The limited information we collect is used solely to:
- Understand how visitors use our site (aggregate analytics)
- Improve the quality and accuracy of our content and tools
- Ensure our site functions correctly across different browsers and devices
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics — website traffic analysis (analytics.google.com/policies/privacy)
- Google Fonts — font delivery (policies.google.com/privacy)
- Supabase — backend database for shop/product data (supabase.com/privacy)
5. Data Retention
We do not store personal health data. Any preference data (e.g. dark mode setting) is stored locally in your browser and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or cookies.
6. Children's Privacy
Our site provides BMI information relevant to teenagers (with appropriate guidance). However, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws including:
- The right to access information we hold about you
- The right to request deletion of your data
- The right to object to certain processing
- The right to data portability
Since we collect minimal data and store no health information, most of these rights are automatically satisfied. For any requests, contact us at the email below.
