Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Theme Plugin Blog (themepluginblog.com) collects when you visit, why, who sees it, how long we keep it and what choices you have. If you have a question about this policy, write to [email protected].
Information we collect
- Server logs. Like most websites, our web server records technical information about each request: your IP address, the page requested, the date and time, and your browser and device type. We use it to keep the site secure and working. Our hosting provider keeps these logs for a limited period.
- Search. If you use the search box, your search words are used to show results.
- Messages you send us. If you email us, we keep your message and email address so we can reply and, if you ask, correct or delete data.
- Analytics. We use third-party analytics services to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are read and how people arrive. These services may set cookies or similar identifiers and collect data such as your IP address, device, browser, approximate location and pages viewed.
- Advertising. The site shows advertising from third-party advertising networks. These partners may use cookies, identifiers and similar technology to show, measure and limit ads, and may use information such as your IP address, device and the pages you view. Their own privacy policies explain what they do.
If you are guided through several of our pages
Some visitors reach our site through a link on another website or app that guides them through a few of our article pages, one after another, before they continue to the page they were heading to. To count each visit correctly and to protect the site against automated abuse and fraud, we record for these visits: your IP address, your approximate country (from your IP address), whether you use a phone or a computer, an identifier of the link you followed, how long you spent on each step, and a device fingerprint (a short code computed from technical details of your browser). We keep these visit records for 30 days and then delete them. The website or app that sent you here may have its own privacy policy.

Where the law requires it, for example for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before setting cookies that are not strictly necessary, and you can change your choice at any time. You can also control cookies in your browser settings, though blocking some may stop parts of the site from working.
How we use information
We use information to run and secure the website, to count these guided visits correctly and prevent abuse, to understand how the site is used so we can improve it, to show and measure advertising, and to reply to messages. We do not sell your personal information.
Our legal bases (where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies)
- Legitimate interests in running and securing the site, preventing fraud and abuse, understanding how the site is used and replying to messages.
- Consent for analytics and advertising cookies where the law requires it. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Who we share it with
We share information only with service providers that help us run the site (for example hosting, content delivery and security providers, analytics providers and advertising networks), where the law requires it, or to protect the site and its visitors. These providers may process information in countries other than your own, with the safeguards the law requires.
How long we keep it
- Visit records for guided visits: 30 days.
- Server logs: a limited period set by our hosting provider.
- Messages you send us: as long as needed to reply and deal with your request, then deleted.
- Analytics and advertising data: according to each provider's settings and policy.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict certain uses, to withdraw consent and to complain to your local data protection authority. To make a request, write to [email protected]. We may need to confirm who you are before we act on a request.
Children
This website is not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
