Things that you provide
Information and content, you provide: We ask for and you provide us the necessary basic information about you when you sign up for an account on our Platform. The necessary data is requested in order to create your personal account that enables you to use all functionalities of the Platform, including but not limited to purchase of WordPress website themes (“Themes”) and ordering and obtaining of support services (“Services”). This information includes: your name and surname, country of residence, email address, as well as certain related information like your company name and website name, when you register for an account as legal entity. We refer to any information described above as ‘’Account Information’’ for the purpose of this Policy. By voluntarily providing us with Account Information, you represent that you are the owner of such personal information or otherwise have the requisite consent to provide it to us. Your Account Information is not publicly available and we do not publish on Platform any information provided by you, except the user name you have chosen when opening your account.
We may ask for and collect other personal information from you for other purposes such as: customer support, promotions, newsletter, collecting CVs and information contained therein on our career page. When submitting comments to the Platform you may also be required to provide some personal information (provided that you do not already have user account that you will use for commenting). Also, when you communicate with us directly (for example when we provide Support), we may ask for additional personal information if such information is necessary for performance of a particular task.
Please note that certain information (such as racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation or philosophical beliefs) may be treated as sensitive data and could be subject to special protections under the laws of your country. Generally, we do not collect any sensitive data and in event that collection of such data is required you will be properly informed.
Log data and Cookies
Like many operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Platform, further referred to as ‘’Log data’’. This Log data may include, among others, information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol ‘’IP’’ address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Platform that you visit, the time and date that you visit, the time spent on those pages and information you search for. We connect personal information to information gathered in our log files as necessary to improve our Platform.
Our Platform also collects data from cookies stored on your device (including cookie IDs and settings) and the data obtained this way may differentiate depending whether you are logged in to your account. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are commonly used across the internet in order to make websites work, improve their personalisation, or to provide information to the owners of the site about how it is working. A cookie often contains a unique identifier, which can be used to recognise your computer when it returns to a website that it has visited before.
Pixels work with cookies to help us understand how you use our website and to improve our advertising, similar to cookies. Pixels are different from cookies because they do not stay on your computer, they are temporary while you browse our Site and are ‘removed’ when you close our Site.
Cookies are commonly classified into ‘first party’ and ‘third party’ cookies, and this changes whether we or one of our partners serves you the cookie. First party cookies are served by us and are more likely used to ensure performance of our Site, while third party cookies are hosted by one of our partners and more likely used for analytics and measurement of marketing performance.
Cookies may also have different lifetimes – this means that they stay on your computer for a defined period before being automatically removed. Another common cookie type is a ‘session cookie’, these cookies are automatically removed when you close your browser.
