Privacy Policy & Affiliate Disclosure

Welcome to LiftEvidence. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect your information when you visit our website. It also serves as our official affiliate disclosure, explaining our relationship with Amazon and how we earn commissions.

By accessing or using LiftEvidence, you agree to the terms described in this policy. If you disagree with our practices, please do not use our website.

LiftEvidence is an independent fitness product research and recommendation platform. We do not manufacture, sell, or directly distribute any products. We do not handle shipping, returns, payments or customer support for listed items. All products featured on our platform link directly to Amazon.

How we earn: When you click a product link on LiftEvidence and make a qualifying purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission from that sale.

Important: This commission comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay on Amazon is the same whether you use our affiliate link or visit Amazon directly.

Our commissions follow the standard guidelines of the Amazon Associates Program. This income helps us maintain the site, fund research and keep producing independent buying guides.

Our assessments are based on clearly defined criteria (see How We Evaluate). Affiliate relationships do not determine which products we cover or how we assess them.

We do not claim that products are "scientifically proven" unless an article contains appropriate supporting evidence. We do not use fake reviews, fake ratings, fake discounts or artificial scarcity to drive clicks.

To attribute sales and earn commissions, we use affiliate tracking links. When you click "View on Amazon" or "Check Price on Amazon," a tracking cookie may be placed in your browser.

• Affiliate IDs: Our links include identifiers that tell Amazon you arrived from LiftEvidence.
• Cookie duration: Affiliate cookies typically last for a period set by Amazon (usually 24 hours). If you purchase within that window, we may receive credit for the referral.
• Opting out: You can clear browser cookies at any time or browse privately to avoid tracking. This may prevent us from earning a commission on your purchase.

You do not need an account to browse LiftEvidence. The only form that collects personal data is the optional newsletter sign-up.

Newsletter. If you subscribe, your email address is sent directly from your browser to Kit (kit.com), the service that stores our subscriber list and sends the newsletter on our behalf. Your subscription starts when you submit the form; Kit records the date, time and form you used as a record of your consent, and sends a welcome email with the checklist. We use your address only to send the LiftEvidence newsletter and the resources you asked for; we never sell or share it. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your data at any time by writing to the contact address on this page. Kit may record whether emails are opened or links clicked so we can see which content is useful. Kit’s processing is described in its privacy policy.

The site also remembers in your own browser (local storage) whether you closed the newsletter invitation, so it is not shown again for a while.

LiftEvidence uses Google Analytics 4 to measure which pages, tools and links are used — for example page views, clicks on Amazon links and calculator use. We do not send names, email addresses or anything you type into the calculators. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them; without consent, Google may receive cookieless signals that cannot identify you. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with “Privacy and cookie settings” in the footer. Google’s use of this data is described in its privacy policy.

LiftEvidence shows advertisements served by Google AdSense, which may use cookies to show and measure ads. Where required, Google’s consent message asks for your choice before personalised ads or advertising cookies are used.

Some calculators remember what you entered in your own browser (local storage) so you can come back to it. That information stays on your device and is never sent to us.

If you email us, we use your message and email address only to reply.

Your privacy matters to us. We align our practices with global privacy standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable.

You have the right to:

• Access: Request details about the data we collect.
• Delete: Request the deletion of personal data we may hold.
• Opt out: Disable cookies in your browser settings to avoid tracking.

As a research platform, we retain minimal personal data. If you have questions about your data, please contact us using the details below.

LiftEvidence connects you to third-party services. Once you click a product link and leave our site, the destination website's privacy policy and terms of service apply.

• Amazon: All purchases, payments and product inquiries are handled entirely by Amazon. We cannot access your payment details, shipping address or purchase history.
• External links: We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of external websites we link to.

We may update this Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, Amazon's affiliate terms or legal requirements.

Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
