Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2, 2026. WOD Machine respects your privacy. This notice explains what data we collect, why we use it, and the choices you have.
Who is responsible
WOD Machine is the controller for the personal data processed through wodmachine.com. For privacy requests, email privacy@wodmachine.com.
Data we collect
No account is required to generate workouts, use timers, or browse the public parts of the site. If you choose to create an account for optional features, we store your email address, password hash, account status, email verification state, optional gender/level preferences, admin flag where relevant, and account creation date.
If you use training features, we store the WODs you log, completion date/time, rounds, workout time, exercise weights, reps, personal-record entries, imported workout-history exports, and star ratings. Logged-out ratings are linked to an anonymous browser token so one browser does not rate the same WOD repeatedly.
Some preferences, such as filters, selected equipment, units, timer state, and cookie choices, may be stored in your browser through local storage or cookies so the site works consistently between visits.
Why we use data
We use account and training data to provide the features you request: login, email verification, password reset, ratings, personal records, training history, leaderboards, and saved preferences. We use necessary cookies and security tokens for sessions, CSRF protection, logged-out rating deduplication, fraud/spam protection, and to remember your choices.
With your consent, we use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand site usage and improve the product. With your consent, we use Google AdSense to show ads and measure ad performance.
Legal bases
Where data is needed to provide account, workout, history, rating, security, and preference features, we process it to perform the service you requested or for our legitimate interest in running and protecting the site. Analytics and advertising cookies/scripts are only loaded with your consent, which you can change at any time through the Cookie settings link in the footer.
Third parties
We use infrastructure providers to host the site and database. We also use Cloudflare Turnstile for spam protection on forms, and, with your consent, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and Microsoft Clarity. These providers may process technical data such as IP address, browser/device information, page visits, and interaction events under their own terms and privacy notices:
- Google privacy policy
- Google partner sites policy
- Microsoft Clarity privacy information
- Cloudflare privacy policy
Retention
Account and training-history data is kept while your account is active, unless deletion is required sooner. Anonymous rating tokens are stored for up to one year in your browser. Cookie consent records are stored for up to one year unless you reset them. Server logs and operational backups may be kept for a limited period for security, debugging, and continuity.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, export, or object to processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent for optional analytics/advertising. To make a request, email privacy@wodmachine.com. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Fitness and health data
WOD Machine stores workout logs and PRs only when you choose to use those features. Do not enter sensitive medical information into the site. WOD Machine is not a medical, diagnostic, healthcare, or personal training service.
