Information We Collect

Information You Voluntarily Provide

The only personal information we collect directly from you is what you submit through our Contact page. This includes your name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not require account registration, and we do not process any payments on this website.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit WizTree, certain technical information is recorded automatically through server logs and third-party services:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies for several purposes:

Essential Cookies

WordPress sets functional cookies required for the site to operate properly. These handle basic tasks like session management.

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)

We may use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with the site. GA4 collects aggregated data such as pageviews, session duration, traffic sources, and general demographic information. It does not collect personally identifiable information. You can opt out of GA4 tracking by installing Google’s browser opt-out add-on.

Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

We may display advertisements through Google AdSense. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history across websites. You can manage your ad personalization preferences at Google Ad Settings, or opt out of third-party advertising cookies at aboutads.info.

Cloudflare Cookies

Our website uses Cloudflare for content delivery and security. Cloudflare may set cookies (such as __cf_bm and __cflb) to manage bot protection and load balancing. These are strictly functional.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above for these specific purposes:

  • Operating and maintaining the WizTree website
  • Analyzing visitor traffic to improve content and user experience (via GA4)
  • Displaying relevant advertisements (via AdSense)
  • Responding to messages submitted through the Contact page
  • Detecting and preventing security threats (via Cloudflare)

We do not use your data for any purpose beyond what is listed here.

Google Analytics 4 Web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Privacy Policy

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data to anyone. We do not share your information with third parties beyond the services described in this policy (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and Cloudflare).

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or other legal process. Aggregated, anonymized data that cannot identify any individual may be used internally to improve the website.

Data Retention

  • Server logs: Retained for approximately 30 days, then automatically purged.
  • Analytics data: Retained according to Google Analytics default settings (14 months).
  • Contact form submissions: Kept until the inquiry is resolved, then deleted.
  • Cookies: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies have varying expiration periods set by their respective services.

Your Rights and Choices

You have several options for managing how your data is handled:

  • Disable or clear cookies through your browser settings at any time.
  • Opt out of Google Analytics tracking using Google’s opt-out add-on.
  • Adjust personalized advertising preferences at Google Ad Settings.
  • Request deletion of any personal data we hold by contacting us through the Contact page.

If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the GDPR, including the right to access, correct, erase, and port your data, as well as the right to object to certain processing activities.

If you are a California resident, the CCPA grants you the right to know what personal information is collected, request its deletion, opt out of its sale (we do not sell data), and receive equal service regardless of exercising these rights.

Children’s Privacy

WizTree is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through this website. All connections to WizTree are encrypted using HTTPS/SSL. Cloudflare provides DDoS protection and a web application firewall as additional layers of defense.

That said, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we work to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Data Transfers

Our servers and the third-party services we use may process data in countries outside your own. By using this website, you consent to the transfer of your information to these locations. Where applicable, we rely on standard contractual clauses and other recognized safeguards to protect transferred data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the website after changes are published constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
