Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Commitment
We believe health resources must prioritize user privacy. Free Back Pain Exercises does not sell, rent, or monetize your personal medical information or exercise history to third-party data brokers or advertisers.
1. Information We Collect
When you use Free Back Pain Exercises, we collect minimal information necessary to deliver and improve our static content and interactive tools:
- Local Device Storage (Client-Side): Interactive features such as your 7-Day Spinal Decompression Streak, completed routine timestamps, and Light/Dark UI theme preferences are stored strictly in your browser's local storage (`localStorage`). This data never leaves your device.
- Voluntary Communications: If you contact us through our contact forms or email, we receive your name, email address, and any details included in your inquiry.
- Technical Web Analytics: We may collect anonymized, aggregated telemetry (such as browser type, approximate geographic region, referring URL, and page performance) to ensure fast load times and resolve site errors.
2. How We Use Information
Any data collected is strictly used for:
- Providing and optimizing our follow-along exercise timers and condition triage wizard.
- Responding directly to clinical questions, feedback, and user support requests.
- Protecting the website against automated abuse, denial of service attacks, and security vulnerabilities.
3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We prioritize cookie-less and lightweight browsing. We do not use intrusive cross-site tracking cookies.
Essential functional local preferences (such as your chosen light or dark theme) are remembered via standard browser APIs to provide a seamless visual experience upon reload.
4. GDPR & CCPA/CPRA Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the European Union / European Economic Area or California), you hold specific privacy rights regarding your data:
- Right to Access & Portability: You may request details on any personal data we hold.
- Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten): You can reset your local storage at any time by clearing your browser cache, or request deletion of any support email correspondence.
- Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
5. Third-Party Links
Our website may reference external academic journals (e.g., PubMed, Spine Journal, APTA CPGs) or health organizations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites and encourage you to review their respective privacy notices.
