At thisismyurl.com, I believe that your data is your business, not mine. Because I’m a developer and not a data broker, I keep my privacy practices simple, transparent, and compliant with Canadian law (PIPEDA).
1. What Information Do I Collect?
I only collect information that helps me provide a better service to you. This usually falls into two categories:
- Information You Give Me: If you fill out a contact form, sign up for a newsletter, or leave a comment, I collect your name and email address.
- Technical Information: Like most websites, I use small files called “cookies” to see how people use the site (e.g., which pages are popular). This includes your IP address and what kind of browser you are using.
2. How Do I Use Your Data?
I use your information strictly for:
- Responding to your inquiries.
- Improving the speed and performance of this website.
- Sending you updates or marketing materials (but only if you’ve explicitly asked for them).
I do not, and will never, sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Who Else Sees Your Data?
To keep this site running at a high level, I use a few trusted partners. They only have access to the data needed to perform their specific tasks:
- Hosting: My site is hosted on WP Engine, which stores our data on secure servers.
- Analytics: I use tools like Google Analytics to see how many people visit the site. This data is anonymized.
- Security: I use security plugins to protect the site from hackers. These tools may scan IP addresses to block malicious activity.
4. Your Rights (The Ontario/Canadian Standard)
Under PIPEDA, you have the right to:
- Ask what information I have about you.
- Ask me to correct or delete your data.
- “Opt-out” of any marketing communications at any time.
If you want to exercise these rights, just send me an email at cross@thisismyurl.com.
5. Data Security
I take security seriously. Since I build high-end WordPress solutions, I practice what I preach. I use SSL encryption (the padlock in your browser) and modern security protocols to keep your data safe. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
6. Changes to This Policy
Occasionally, I may update this policy to reflect changes in my services or Canadian law. I will post any changes on this page.
7. How to Contact Me
