Privacy Policy

This document is reviewed periodically to ensure the information contained is up-to-date.

This page is mostly related to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) within the EU however, it also applies to other, similar regulations around the world.
I believe it to be good practice to provide a unified experience and service to all users, worldwide. As such, I have carefully put together this document in an effort to make all information regarding data collection and usage as clear as possible.

When visiting this site, you can change your settings at any time here.

If you have a question regarding any of this at any time, please feel free to get in touch.

Any request may take up to a month to process. You will be asked to verify your identity prior to any copy being sent.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to provide updates, any level of support, or refunds for purchased products should you wish for your information to be deleted. You may also not be able to use any purchased products properly, as they require an account for updates to show in the WordPress Admin of any actively used sites.
