Privacy Policy for Leannow
Leannow is an independent editorial and educational platform focused on how to spend less time sitting, and this Privacy Policy explains how the platform handles information in that context. The editorial work at Leannow centers on sedentary behavior reduction guides, movement break methodology frameworks, ergonomic workstation analysis, and active sitting research, so data practices are kept aligned with that mission and with respect for reader trust. This document is written to clarify what Leannow collects, why it is collected, and how it is protected under applicable privacy law, including the GDPR and CCPA.
How and what data Leannow collects
Leannow collects information that visitors choose to provide through the contact form and newsletter subscription fields. This may include a name, email address, and the message or preferences submitted when a reader asks about sedentary behavior reduction guides, movement break methodology frameworks, ergonomic workstation setup analysis, or active sitting alternatives research briefs. Leannow uses this voluntarily provided information to respond to editorial inquiries, deliver requested updates, and manage subscriptions in a way that is consistent with the platform’s educational purpose.
Leannow also collects technical and navigation data when visitors browse the site. This can include IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, time spent on site, referring pages, and related interaction signals that help the editorial team understand how readers engage with explainers and research roundups. This information is gathered in aggregated or operational form where possible, and it supports site performance, content relevance, and the integrity of the platform’s analytics.
"Leannow treats audience data as part of editorial trust: collected only to support the clarity, usefulness, and reliability of our movement-focused publishing."
Purpose and use of data
Leannow uses personal and technical information for limited and clearly defined purposes tied to the operation of an independent editorial platform. The platform does not use data to provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it does not use reader information to make health judgments. Instead, Leannow uses data to improve the usefulness of its educational coverage, maintain communication with readers, and protect the website from misuse. Where analytics tools are used, Leannow may rely on Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads conversion tracking to understand how readers discover and interact with content.
- Editorial personalization: Leannow may use browsing patterns and subscription preferences to better surface articles about sedentary behavior reduction, movement breaks, workstation ergonomics, and active sitting research that are most relevant to a reader’s interests.
- Direct communication: Contact information submitted through forms or newsletter sign-ups may be used to answer editorial questions, send subscription confirmations, share requested updates, or notify readers about changes to Leannow’s educational content and policy documents.
- Analytics improvement: Leannow uses aggregated performance insights, including Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads conversion tracking, to understand which explainers, methodology pages, and research briefs are most useful and where the platform can improve navigation, readability, and editorial structure.
- Platform security: Technical data may be used to detect suspicious activity, prevent spam or abuse, maintain website stability, and support the secure operation of forms, subscriptions, and analytics systems.
Third-party services used by Google
Leannow uses Google Analytics 4 to measure how readers move through the site and to evaluate the performance of editorial pages about sedentary behavior reduction and related workplace movement topics. GA4 may process pseudonymous identifiers, device and browser information, page interactions, approximate location derived from IP address, and event-based behavior signals. Leannow configures these tools to support behavioral analysis and editorial improvement, and where available, IP masking or anonymization practices are used to reduce the identifiability of the information shared with Google. Google may receive data through cookies or similar technologies, and that data is processed according to Google’s own privacy practices.
Leannow also uses Google Ads conversion tracking and, where enabled, remarketing features to understand whether a reader completed a subscription or contact action after interacting with an advertisement. In that context, Google may receive identifiers, page visit information, and conversion events linked to ad interactions, but Leannow does not ask Google to provide personal profiles about readers. Visitors can opt out of Google Analytics by using browser or platform-level controls, Google’s opt-out tools, or advertising settings that limit personalized ads and remarketing. Readers who prefer not to participate in these measurement systems can also manage cookies through their browser settings, where available.
User rights under local law
Because Leannow is located in Lakeland, Florida, and serves readers in the United States and beyond, the platform recognizes privacy rights under applicable law, including the GDPR and CCPA where relevant to a reader’s location and circumstances. Leannow treats rights requests as part of its editorial accountability, especially when readers interact with subscription forms, contact channels, or analytics-supported content pages. Requests are reviewed carefully, and Leannow aims to respond within 10 business days after verifying the request and confirming the scope of the information involved.
- **Access**: Readers may ask whether Leannow holds personal information about them and request a copy of that information. To exercise this right, contact team@leannow.fitness with enough detail to identify the relevant form submission, subscription record, or communication.
- **Rectification**: If a reader believes that contact details or subscription preferences are incomplete or inaccurate, Leannow will consider a request to correct them. The request should be sent by email and should clearly describe the information that needs to be updated.
- **Erasure/Cancellation**: Readers may request deletion of contact form data or cancellation of newsletter subscriptions, subject to any retention obligations or legitimate operational needs. Leannow will explain what can be removed and what may need to be retained for security, recordkeeping, or compliance purposes.
- **Restriction**: A reader may ask Leannow to limit the processing of certain information while a concern is being reviewed, such as when the accuracy of a record is disputed. The request should identify the data at issue and the reason restriction is being sought.
- **Objection**: Where processing is based on legitimate interests or similar grounds, readers may object to that processing, including some analytics or marketing-related uses. Leannow will review the objection and, where required, stop or limit the processing in line with applicable law.
"Leannow will answer rights requests with the same editorial care it brings to its reporting: promptly, clearly, and without unnecessary friction."
Data security and retention
Leannow uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect the information submitted through the site. This includes SSL encryption for data transmitted through web forms and security-focused infrastructure intended to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. While no online system can be more likely to be perfectly secure, Leannow maintains its security practices with the same discipline it applies to editorial accuracy and source review.
Retention is limited to what Leannow needs for the stated purposes of the platform. Contact form submissions and related correspondence are generally retained for up to 24 months unless a longer period is required for legal, operational, or security reasons. Analytics data is retained according to Google’s retention policy and the settings configured within Google Analytics 4, after which it is deleted or aggregated in accordance with those controls.
