IF YOU ARE PURCHASING OR USING OUR SERVICES IN ANY WAY, PLEASE READ OUR TERMS OF SERVICES FOR DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS.
This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) provides information on how we collect, process, and share the personal data (also referred to as personal information) of individuals who are external to our organization, including but not limited to our clients, potential clients, affiliates, website visitors, and service providers and their respective representatives (referred to in this Policy as “you” or “your”).
For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy does not apply to data collected by our clients who use our Services to create and manage their own websites. If data is collected and processed by our client or its website, the client controls such data. Please contact the owner or operator of the applicable website directly for information about its privacy policies and how it processes personal data.
After reading this Policy, if you have additional questions or would like further information, please contact us at contact@wp-umbrella.com
As further explained below, we collect and process personal data only for lawful reasons, such as when the processing is necessary to perform a contract, like the Terms of Service, and our legitimate business interests, such as improving, personalizing, marketing, and developing the Services and promoting safety and security.

We collect certain information via cookies and similar automated means when you use the Services, some of which may be personal data. Cookies and similar technologies do not gather your unique personal data, like name, date of birth, gender, or email. Rather, the information collected by cookies and other automated means is generally about your devices and your activities on your devices, such as search history, IP address, browser used, operating system and settings, access times, opens, clicks, and downloads of our email, and referring URL. If you are using a mobile device, we may also collect data that identifies your device, settings, and frequency of usage. This data may be collected by or shared with our third-party analytics, advertising, and anti-spam partners.
In order to provide you with the service (health check, uptime and performance monitoring data and charts) we might collect process and store data linked to your WordPress Website such as downtime history, uptime rates, loading time, web host and error logs from plugins and theme. We use these data to the purpose of the service.
WP Umbrella and its service providers use the automatically collected data described above to provide, advertise, and improve the Services, including to keep track of your preferences and profile information, customize services and content, measure the effectiveness of promotions and digital communications, place our advertisements on other websites, estimate your general location and time zone, protect against malicious activity and spam, and to secure your accounts. We also retain data linked to your plugins and theme error logs and might possibly share them with the responsible plugin and theme creators within WP Umbrella Services in order to help them fixing development issues. All the data that might be shared are kept for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes referred to above. You can, at anytime, refuse that we automatically collect your data.
WP Umbrella does not sell, rent, or lease your personal data to third parties. We might, however, share anonymized and strictly technical data for the purpose of the service. You will never be contacted by a third party to that end. We also share your personal data with the following types of service providers for the sole purpose of providing, improving, promoting, and securing the Services:
We also may share your information as required by law, to investigate potential illegal activities or violations of our Terms of Service or other agreements, to protect the security of our Services and users, or as a result of a merger, acquisition, or assignment with a third party.

We may request proof of your identity before acting upon any request. If you live in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, and you are unsatisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint regarding your personal data with an applicable supervisory authority.
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the personal data that we collect from you.

Sometimes, we may retain your information for a period of time after account cancellation to allow you to efficiently reinstate your Services account, if you so choose. We also may retain certain personal data after you cancel your account to the extent necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, for the purpose of fraud monitoring, detection and prevention, and for our tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations. Where we retain data, we do so in accordance with any limitation periods and records retention obligations that are imposed by applicable law.
