What we collect
The DOTS and IPF GL calculators run in your browser. Scores you choose to save as history are stored in your device's local storage. We do not receive those numbers unless you share them yourself, for example by downloading an image or using a share feature on your device.
When you load pages, our hosting provider and standard web logs may record technical data such as IP address, browser type (user agent), referring URL, and timestamps. That information helps keep the site online, secure, and working as expected.
If you contact us by email or through the contact form, we receive the details you choose to send (such as your name, email address, and message) so we can respond.
Cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are popular and how people move between them. Google Analytics may set cookies or similar technologies and collect usage data (including IP address and device or browser information) according to Google's policies.
You can learn more in Google's documentation and control ads or analytics preferences through your browser settings and Google account tools where available. Blocking cookies may limit some site features.
Blog and third parties
Article pages may load images, fonts, or other assets from third-party services (including our content management system). Those providers process requests your browser makes to their servers under their own privacy policies.
How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website and calculators
- Measure traffic and diagnose technical problems
- Respond to messages you send us
- Protect the site against abuse and security threats

The site is intended for adults who train or follow strength sports. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
