What Personal Data Do We Collect?
As visitors interact with our website they may share information with us up to and including Name, Email address, phone number, IP address, web address, browser version, account usernames and passwords, credit card information, and click behavior.
We collect this data to help facilitate communication, improve user experience, perform our duties as a WordPress service provider, and to measure engagement so we can improve our education efforts.
The only sensitive data that we collect is usernames and passwords for third-party providers such as hosting companies, email providers, and other accounts that don’t allow for the use of sub-accounts or easily sharing account access with a method other than passwords.
All sensitive data is submitted to a secure form on our website, and entries in that form are auto-purged every 72 hours. Sharing credentials is always a last resort when accessing third-party vendor accounts, but is sometimes necessary to perform WordPress support.
Comment Forms
Users who leave comments on our blog posts have the ability to leave comments anonymously, or may choose to include their name, email, and web address as well. Comment data is processed through a third-party spam filtering service, Akismet. You can learn about how comment data is processed by Akismet in Automattic’s Privacy Policy.
Contact Forms
Users who complete our forms will share their name, email, as well as their unique message, which contains whatever data the user willing shares. This information is used to learn about our site visitors and initiate conversations about our business.
These conversations flow into our Help desk, Help Scout. You can read Help Scout’s privacy policy here.
These initial conversations also stored as form entries on https://www.wpsitecare.com. These entries are auto-purged every 30 days and can be removed at any time at a visitor or customer request.
Newsletter Subscription Form
If you enter your name and email into one of our dedicating mailing list forms, we’ll contact you when we publish new blog posts, changes to our business, or special offers. You can unsubscribe from these mailings at any time by clicking the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the emails you receive.
You can also have your email removed from our system entirely by contacting us at [email protected]
