Privacy

Version 1 · 14 August 2026

This is an early version. It is an honest description of what EZWOD does today, written against the code rather than adapted from a template, and it is still being reviewed. If anything here turns out to be wrong, the behaviour is what we will fix, not the wording.

The short version: you control what is public by choosing what to publish. A workout you publish is readable by anyone, and your score on a public workout can appear on the home page under your nickname. Your notes, how a session felt and your RPE stay between you and other signed-in members. Your email address and your real name are never shown in public at all. Anything on a workout you keep private is shown to nobody.

What we store

WhatWhy
Your email address It identifies your account and is how you sign in. It is never shown to anyone else.
Your password Stored only as a bcrypt hash. Nobody at EZWOD can read it, including us. If you sign in with Google we store no password at all.
Your nickname The name shown in public, on workouts you share and on your creator page. It is the only name strangers ever see.
Your first and last name Optional. Shown only inside a group whose owner has switched real names on, so a coach can take a register. Never shown publicly, and never in a search engine.
Your training Workouts you build, sessions you log, loads, times, reps, how a session felt and any notes you add. This is the product.
Group membership and messages Which gyms and classes you belong to, and anything you post in a group chat.
Who you follow So your Following tab can show you their new workouts. A creator can see the names of people following them.

What other people can see

This is the part worth reading carefully, because it is the part that surprises people on other sites.

Public, to anybody, including search engines Your nickname. Any workout you publish - its name, its structure, its movements, reps and prescribed loads. Who follows you and who you follow, by nickname.

And some of your results. The home page shows recent results and recent personal records: the workout, your score, your nickname and the date. So “Fran, 7:15 Rx, by your nickname, on 12 August” can be read by anyone and can be listed by a search engine. If you would rather not appear there, keep the workout private - a private workout’s results are never shown anywhere.
Visible to anyone signed in The full results board on a workout - everybody’s results side by side, which is the point of it. That board shows more than the home page does: as well as your score it shows how the session felt, your RPE, and any notes you wrote on it. Comments too.
Never shown to anybody else Your email address. Your password, which nobody can read including us. Your real name, outside a group that has switched real names on. Anything at all about a workout you marked private, including that you did it.

A workout is public unless you make it private. When you build one, the builder says so before you save it. If you would rather a workout were not public, mark it private and it stays out of every list, every search and every public page.

Cookies and sessions

A session cookie keeps you signed in. That is all it does. There is no advertising on EZWOD, no tracking pixels, no analytics profile built about you, and nothing is sold or handed to a data broker.

Other companies

  • Google - only if you choose to sign in with Google. We receive your email address, your name and a stable account id from them. We do not receive your Google password and never will.
  • Google Fonts - the site loads its typefaces from Google, which means your browser tells Google your IP address when a page loads. We are moving these to our own server to stop that.
  • Payments - not taken yet. When they are, card details will go straight to the payment processor and will never touch our servers or our database.

What you can do

  • Change your nickname at any time, on your profile. It is the only name in public.
  • Make a workout private so it leaves every public page.
  • Ask for a copy of your data, or ask us to delete your account. Email us and we will do it. Deleting your account removes your personal details and your logged training.

A workout you published and other people have since done is the one thing that is not simply deleted with you, because other people’s records point at it. Tell us and we will unpublish it and remove your name from it.

Children

EZWOD is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly create accounts for them.

Asking us something

Any question about your data, or anything on this page you think is wrong, goes to the address on the home page. We would genuinely rather hear it.

EZWOD

Since 2017

EZWOD is a training log for people who do CrossFit. Build a workout out of warm-ups, strength work and metcons, do it, and write down what happened. The benchmarks are already in here, the Girls and the Hero WODs and the rep maxes, so your Fran is the same Fran as everybody else's and your times mean something next to each other.

It does the arithmetic you would otherwise do on your phone between sets. It knows a thruster is a squat and a press, so a Fran counts towards both without you telling it. It works out your rep maxes from the set you actually hit, and it keeps a running total of every pattern you have trained. Logging is free and always will be: what you put in is yours.
