HyroxInsider uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to operate the site and understand how it is used. We use the following categories:

  • Essential cookies — required for core site functionality.
  • Analytics cookies — collected via Google Analytics to measure traffic and behaviour in aggregated, anonymised form. Google may process this data on servers outside the EEA.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time in your browser settings. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Third-Party Services

HyroxInsider uses a limited number of trusted third-party tools to operate and improve the site:

  • Google Analytics — audience and traffic analysis. Google Privacy Policy
  • Hostinger — web hosting and server infrastructure.
  • Email service providers — to deliver newsletters and Hytrack alerts to subscribers.

Each of these providers operates under their own privacy policies and data protection obligations. We only work with providers who offer adequate data security guarantees.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share data in the following limited circumstances:

  • With third-party service providers listed in section 5, solely to operate the services described.
  • When required by law, court order, or a legitimate legal process.
  • To protect the rights, safety, or property of HyroxInsider, our users, or the public.

Any third party receiving your data is required to handle it securely and in compliance with applicable privacy laws.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected:

  • Email subscribers — your email is retained until you unsubscribe. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link.
  • Analytics data — retained in line with Google Analytics default settings (up to 26 months).
  • Technical and server logs — retained briefly for security and operational purposes, then deleted.

Once data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our site is hosted on a secure platform and we maintain ongoing security practices.

That said, no method of internet transmission is entirely secure. While we do everything reasonable to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
