1. Introduction
Welcome to PrivacyZap (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. This policy applies to all information collected through our website (https://getprivacyzap.com) and any related services.
Our brand is built on the principles of privacy and transparency, and this policy is designed to be as clear and straightforward as possible.
2. What Information Do We Collect?
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us and information that is automatically collected when you use our website.
a) Personal Information You Disclose to Us
- Contact Information: We collect your name and email address when you contact us through our contact form. We only use this information to respond to your inquiry.
b) Information Automatically Collected
- Analytics Data: We use Matomo, a privacy-focused web analytics platform, to understand how visitors interact with our website. To respect your privacy, we have configured Matomo to anonymize your IP address (by masking the last two bytes). The data collected includes your anonymized IP address, the pages you visit on our site, the time and date of your visit, the browser you use, and the referring website. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to personally identify you. We host our own Matomo instance, meaning this data is not shared with any third-party analytics company like Google.
- Cookies: Like most websites, we use cookies. Cookies are small data files stored on your browser. We use them for:
- Analytics: To help us analyze website traffic and performance via Matomo.
- Affiliate Tracking: When you click on an affiliate link, a cookie is placed on your browser to track any purchases you may make. This is necessary for us to earn a commission. These cookies are set by our affiliate partners.
3. How Do We Use Your Information?
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To Respond to Inquiries: To communicate with you and answer your questions submitted via our contact form.
- To Improve Our Website: To analyze aggregated, anonymous data to understand what content is popular and how we can improve the user experience.
- To Support Our Operations: To track affiliate referrals, which is the financial foundation of our website. This allows us to continue producing high-quality, free content.
4. Affiliate Marketing & Third-Party Links
Our website contains affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission. This comes at no additional cost to you.
When you click on these links, you will be redirected to a third-party website (our affiliate partner). These websites have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to read them. The placement of a tracking cookie by these partners is what allows us to be credited for the referral. For more information, please see our affiliate disclosure.
5. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?
We use a variety of security measures to protect your personal information. Our website is protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, which you can verify by the padlock icon and “https://” in your browser’s address bar. We also use security plugins like Wordfence to protect against malicious attacks.
However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. What Are Your Privacy Rights?
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights under data protection laws like the GDPR or CCPA. These may include the right to:
- Request access to and obtain a copy of your personal information.
- Request correction of any inaccurate information or completion of incomplete information.
- Request deletion of your personal information.
- Withdraw your consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.
7. Policy for Minors
We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a user under 13, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by a “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy frequently to stay informed of how we are protecting your information.
