Information we collect
- We collect content submitted through contact forms, business inquiry forms, and equipment submission forms.
- This may include email addresses, gym names or URLs, organization names, contact names, messages, and submitted equipment facts.
- For abuse prevention and investigation, we may store user_agent, submission time, form type, and category information.
Purposes of use

- We also use information for spam prevention, duplicate submission checks, system investigation, service improvement, and usage analysis.
Submissions and inquiries
- Administrators review submissions and inquiries and may use them to correct equipment information, respond to requests, or hide inappropriate content.
- Submitted content may be edited, summarized, accepted, rejected, or kept private after factual review.
IP addresses and user agents

- We may store user_agent values as supporting information for abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and inquiry review.
