Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 20, 2025

Thank you for using plugins developed by RobertWP.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you install and use our WordPress plugins. This policy applies specifically to plugin users, while separate clauses for visitors to robertwp.com are included in the final section.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy covers two categories of users:

  • Users of RobertWP plugins (installed on WordPress websites), including administrators and site owners where our plugins are activated.
  • Visitors to our website, robertwp.com.
Plugin-specific data practices are described in Sections 2–14.

For information related to your interaction with robertwp.com, please refer to Section 15.

2. Data We Collect for License Activation

When you activate or use our plugins, we collect a limited set of technical and usage information necessary to verify your license and prevent unauthorized use. This information includes:

  • Your website domain name
  • Plugin name and version
  • Administrator’s email address, stored securely as a hashed value to protect your privacy
  • Anonymized or masked server IP address to prevent direct identification
  • License activation timestamp and activation status
  • A tracking identifier generated by us to uniquely identify activation events
  • Your purchase code associated with the plugin license
  • User agent string which provides basic information about your browser and system environment

3. Purpose of Data Collection

We collect and process this data solely for the following purposes:

  • To verify valid license usage
  • To prevent software piracy and unauthorized redistribution
  • To ensure plugin compatibility, functionality, and support
  • To improve plugin performance and security

We do not use your data for advertising, analytics, profiling, or retargeting.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

We process personal data based on the following legal grounds:

  • Legitimate interest: To ensure authorized use of our software and maintain software integrity
  • User consent: When required, especially for optional features or usage tracking
  • Contractual necessity: When you request support services or plugin updates

5. Data Retention

Collected activation data is retained for a period of 180 days, after which it is securely and permanently deleted in accordance with our data retention policies.

After this period:

  • The data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
  • A minimal anonymized audit log may be retained for internal compliance and security analysis (for up to 12 months), without any personally identifiable information.

6. Data Sharing and Transfers

All data is securely stored on servers located in the United States. We implement technical and organizational measures such as encryption, IP anonymization, email hashing, and strict access control to ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws.

Minimal activation data may be shared with trusted infrastructure providers solely for license verification and anti-piracy purposes. This data may be transferred and processed in countries outside your own, including jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection. However, we apply appropriate safeguards to ensure your data remains protected.

7. Your Rights (GDPR and Global Users)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict specific types of data processing
  • Withdraw previously given consent at any time
  • File a complaint with your local data protection authority

You may request access to, correction, or deletion of your activation data at any time by contacting us.
