Information Collected Through Google Analytics
BMIBox uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its content, navigation, and performance.
Depending on the website’s Analytics configuration, Google Analytics may collect information such as:
- The number of visitors
- Pages viewed
- Session information
- General interaction data
- Browser and device information
- Approximate geographic location
- Referring pages or traffic sources
Google states that its default Analytics implementation may collect user counts, session statistics, approximate geolocation, and browser and device information.
BMIBox uses this information in aggregated reports. We do not use Google Analytics to intentionally collect names, email addresses, BMI results, medical records, or other directly identifying health information.
How We Use Information
BMIBox may use collected information to:
- Send newsletters to subscribers
- Manage subscriptions and unsubscribe requests
- Understand which pages and topics are useful to readers
- Improve website usability, content, and performance
- Identify technical errors or security issues
- Prevent misuse, spam, or unauthorized activity
- Respond to questions, feedback, or privacy requests
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not use newsletter email addresses to calculate BMI, assess health, diagnose conditions, or provide personalized medical advice.
Third-Party Services
BMIBox uses services provided by third parties, including Google Analytics and any platform used to deliver newsletter emails.
Third-party providers may collect or process information under their own privacy policies and terms. BMIBox does not control every aspect of how these external services operate.
Google provides additional information about how it uses data from websites and applications that use its services.
BMI Calculator and Health Information
The BMIBox calculator may process the height, weight, age, or other values you enter to display a BMI result.
Unless clearly stated otherwise at the point of collection, BMIBox does not ask you to create an account or intentionally store calculator entries as a personal health record.
You should not enter names, medical records, account passwords, or other sensitive personal information into calculator fields.
BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Calculator results should not be treated as medical records or personalized medical advice.
Data Retention
Newsletter email addresses may be retained while a person remains subscribed and for a reasonable period afterward when necessary to manage unsubscribe preferences, maintain records, prevent misuse, or meet applicable legal obligations.
Analytics information may be retained according to BMIBox’s Google Analytics settings and Google’s applicable policies.
We aim to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
Data Security
BMIBox takes reasonable administrative and technical measures to help protect collected information.
However, no website, email system, storage platform, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information through the website at your own discretion.
Children’s Privacy
BMIBox is an adult BMI education website and is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children.
We do not knowingly request newsletter subscriptions from children who are below the age at which they may provide valid consent under applicable law.
A parent or guardian who believes that a child has provided personal information may contact us to request its removal.
Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may give you rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:
- Request access to information held about you
- Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
- Request deletion of certain information
- Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent
