Last updated: [DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains what information WP Buildify (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects when you visit [https://www.yourdomain.com] (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Who We Are

WP Buildify is operated by [YOUR NAME OR BUSINESS NAME], based in [COUNTRY]. You can contact us about privacy at [privacy-email@wpbuildify.com].

Information We Collect

Information you give us

  • Contact form messages: your name, email address and anything you include in your message.
  • Email list sign-ups: your email address and, if requested, your first name.
  • Comments: the name, email address and website you enter, plus your comment text. WordPress also records your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

Information collected automatically

  • Usage data: pages visited, time on page, referring website, approximate location (country/city level), device type and browser, collected through analytics tools.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: described below.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:

  • Essential cookies: needed for the Site to work, such as remembering comment details if you choose to.
  • Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
  • Affiliate cookies: set when you click an affiliate link, so the merchant can credit us for a purchase.
  • Advertising cookies: set by ad partners, if we display ads, to show and measure ads.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works. [IF YOU USE A COOKIE CONSENT BANNER, MENTION IT HERE AND EXPLAIN HOW VISITORS CAN CHANGE THEIR CHOICES.]

Analytics

We use [Google Analytics / OTHER ANALYTICS TOOL] to collect anonymous, aggregated information about how visitors use the Site. This provider may process data on its own servers. You can opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s browser opt-out add-on, or by blocking analytics cookies in your browser.

Our Email List

If you join our email list, we use your email address to send the newsletter and related updates you signed up for. Our email service provider is [EMAIL PROVIDER, e.g. MailerLite / ConvertKit], which stores your details on our behalf. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can leave at any time. We never sell your email address.

Affiliate Links and Tracking

Some links on the Site are affiliate links. When you click one, the merchant or affiliate network may place a cookie on your device to track whether you make a purchase, so we can earn a commission. We don’t receive your personal or payment details from these purchases. We only see anonymous reports of clicks and sales. The merchant’s own privacy policy applies to anything you do on their site.

Third-Party Advertising

[KEEP THIS SECTION IF YOU RUN ADS; OTHERWISE DELETE IT.] We may display ads from third-party networks such as [Google AdSense / AD NETWORK NAME]. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn more and opt out of personalised advertising at Google’s Ads Settings page or through industry opt-out tools such as aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.

Embedded Content

Posts may include embedded content (for example, videos). Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the other website, and that website may collect data about you under its own privacy policy.

How Long We Keep Data

  • Contact messages: as long as needed to respond, then up to [12 months].
  • Email list data: until you unsubscribe.
  • Comments: kept indefinitely unless you ask us to remove them.
  • Analytics data: according to the retention settings of our analytics provider, [e.g. 14 months].

Your Rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, email [privacy-email@wpbuildify.com]. We’ll respond within the time required by law.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in some regions), and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, including an SSL-secured connection. No website can guarantee complete security, however.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
