Privacy Policy
This document explains how Filteringshoulde collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you visit https://filteringshoulde.world/ (the “Site”), contact us, or interact with optional features such as analytics and marketing cookies where you have given consent.
Introduction and scope
We respect your privacy and aim to process personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently. This Privacy Policy applies to visitors who browse the Site, submit the contact form, purchase or access educational materials where offered, and interact with cookie or similar technologies described in our Cookie Policy.
The Site publishes general informational content about gentle fitness habits. It does not offer medical diagnosis or treatment. Personal data you provide is processed for operational, communication, and compliance purposes—not for clinical assessment.
Summary
Where the GDPR applies, we identify the legal basis for each main processing activity in the “Purposes and legal bases” section. Where other privacy laws apply, we provide compatible descriptions and honor rights those laws grant you.
Controller and representatives
The data controller responsible for personal data processed through the Site is Filteringshoulde, with its principal contact address at 1 S State St, Chicago, IL 60603, USA.
You may contact us regarding privacy matters by email at touch@filteringshoulde.world or by telephone at +1 312-279-9924. If we appoint a representative in the European Union where required by Article 27 GDPR, we will publish updated contact details on this page.
Categories of personal data
Depending on your interaction, we may process the following categories, not all of which will apply to every visitor:
- Identity and contact data: name, email address, postal address if you provide it, and similar identifiers when you message us or complete forms.
- Communication content: the body of emails or contact form messages, attachments you choose to send, and internal notes needed to respond.
- Technical and usage data: IP address, approximate location derived from network information, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referral URL, pages viewed, time and date stamps, and diagnostic events.
- Cookie and similar identifiers: values stored on your device when you accept optional analytics or marketing technologies, as described in the Cookie Policy.
- Transaction data: if you purchase digital products, records of order identifiers, payment status (processed by payment providers), and delivery of access links.
We do not ask you to provide special categories of data (such as health data) through the contact form. If you voluntarily include sensitive information in a message, we will treat it with additional care and limit access to personnel who need it to handle your request, then delete or anonymize it when retention is no longer necessary unless law requires otherwise.
Purposes and legal bases
We process personal data for specific purposes and rely on legal bases recognized under the GDPR where applicable:
Site operation and security
Hosting, delivery of pages, abuse detection, fraud prevention, and backups. Legal basis: legitimate interests in operating a secure website; in some cases, compliance with legal obligations.
Responding to inquiries
Reading and answering messages sent via the contact form or email. Legal basis: steps prior to a contract where relevant, legitimate interests in communicating with visitors, and consent where you have ticked the GDPR checkbox for processing.
Analytics (optional)
Aggregated statistics about traffic and navigation when you enable analytics cookies. Legal basis: consent, which you may withdraw through the cookie banner or browser settings.
Marketing (optional)
Information about new guides or resources when you enable marketing cookies or separately subscribe where offered. Legal basis: consent or, where applicable, soft opt-in rules in your jurisdiction.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we balance our interests against your rights and offer you the right to object where required by law. You may contact us to understand the balancing test in more detail for a given activity.
Recipients and sharing
We share personal data only with service providers and partners who need access to perform services on our behalf, under written agreements that require appropriate confidentiality and security measures. Categories of recipients may include:
- Hosting and content delivery providers that store Site files and transmit pages to your browser.
- Email and communications infrastructure used to receive or send messages.
- Payment processors if you make purchases, subject to their privacy policies for card or wallet data.
- Analytics or marketing platforms if you have consented to those categories of cookies.
- Professional advisers such as lawyers or accountants when required for compliance or defense of legal claims.
We do not sell your personal data in the conventional sense of exchanging data for money. If we ever participate in analytics arrangements that could be characterized as “sale” under U.S. state laws, we will provide opt-out mechanisms as required.
Advertising and measurement (United States and international)
When you consent to analytics or marketing cookies, we or our partners may use technologies to measure how the Site is used and whether content is relevant. For example, Google may process data as described in Google’s privacy and advertising terms when Google Analytics or Google Ads measurement features are enabled on the Site.
You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services in Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses cookies in advertising. You may adjust personalized advertising settings for Google at adssettings.google.com and may use industry opt-out tools such as the NAI opt-out page where available in your region.
Educational pages on this Site are not medical advice. We do not use advertising tools to collect special-category health data for targeting; measurement is limited to standard web analytics and campaign relevance as described in our Cookie Policy.
Retention periods
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, unless a longer period is required by law:
- Server and security logs: typically up to twelve months, unless an incident investigation requires a longer window.
- Contact form and email correspondence: generally up to twenty-four months after the last message in a thread, unless a dispute or legal hold requires longer retention.
- Cookie consent records: as described in the Cookie Policy, often up to twelve months or until you clear site data.
- Transaction records: for the duration required by tax, accounting, and consumer protection rules applicable in Illinois and the United States, and longer if needed to assert or defend legal claims.
After retention periods end, we delete or anonymize data so it can no longer be associated with you, except where aggregated statistics derived from anonymized data are retained.
International transfers
We are based in the United States. If you access the Site from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, your personal data may be transferred to the U.S. or other countries where our processors operate. In such cases, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, supplementary measures where required by case law, and assessment of local laws that may affect your data.
You may request a copy of relevant safeguards by contacting us. We will respond subject to confidentiality and security constraints.
Security measures
We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Measures may include access controls for staff accounts, encryption of data in transit where appropriate, vulnerability monitoring, and vendor security reviews.
No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. If we become aware of a breach that poses a high risk to your rights, we will notify regulators and, where required, affected individuals without undue delay, in line with applicable law.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Access: request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification: correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure: request deletion where applicable law allows.
- Restriction: limit processing in certain circumstances.
- Portability: receive structured, machine-readable data you provided where processing is based on consent or contract and is automated.
- Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent: where processing is consent-based, without affecting lawfulness before withdrawal.
- Lodge a complaint: with a supervisory authority in your country of residence.
To exercise rights, email us with sufficient detail for us to verify your identity. We may request additional information to protect against fraudulent requests. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, typically within one month for GDPR requests, subject to extension for complex cases.
Automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR. If that changes, we will update this Policy and provide meaningful information about the logic involved and your rights.
Children
The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly solicit personal data from children under sixteen (or a higher age where local law defines a child differently) without verifiable parental consent. If you believe we have collected data from a child, contact us and we will take steps to delete it promptly.
Third-party sites
The Site may contain links to external websites, social networks, or payment pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. Please read their policies before submitting personal data.
Changes and notifications
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or our business practices. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on the Site or, where appropriate, by email. The “Version” date at the top of this page indicates the latest revision.
