Plain and simple

Your privacy, in plain language.

Healthylete is a small site built for student-athletes. We keep data handling simple: a little first-party analytics so we know which content actually helps you — and that's it. No ads, no third-party trackers, nothing sold or shared.

The short version

  • No ads. No selling your data. No third-party trackers. We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook pixels, ad networks, or anything like that.
  • Everything stays on our own server. The basic analytics we collect live on the same server that runs this site — they aren't sent off to other companies.
  • We only collect what helps us make the site better for teen athletes.

What we collect

When you visit, our own software records some basic, standard web information so we can see what's popular and fix what's broken:

  • Pages you view and when, so we know which articles and recipes are useful.
  • Rough location (your city/region and country), worked out from your internet (IP) address.
  • Your device basics — browser, screen size, and language — so the site looks right on your phone or laptop.
  • Where you came from (for example, a Google search or a link), if your browser shares it.
  • A random visitor ID saved in your browser so we can tell a returning visitor from a brand-new one. It is not your name and we can't identify you personally from it.

We do not ask for or collect your name, email, address, or any account — there's nothing to sign up for.

Why we collect it

Just to understand what's helpful and improve the site — which topics to write more about, what's confusing, and whether everything works on different devices. That's the whole reason.

Your choices

  • Do Not Track: if your browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal, our visitor beacon turns itself off automatically.
  • Clear it anytime: clearing your browser's site data / cookies for healthylete.com removes the random visitor ID.
  • Block it: a content blocker or private/incognito window will stop the analytics beacon entirely. The site still works fully.

A note for parents & younger athletes

Healthylete is written for student-athletes around ages 13–18. We deliberately keep data collection minimal and first-party, with no advertising and no third-party tracking. If you're a parent or guardian and have a question or want visitor data related to your household removed, reach out and we'll help.

Questions

This is a small, independent site — happy to answer anything. You can reach us through the social links in the footer. (Owner: update this line with your preferred contact email.)

In one sentence
  • We collect a little anonymous visit data on our own server to improve the site — no ads, no third parties, nothing sold, and you can turn it off.
