Legal Basis (where applicable)
- Consent (non-essential cookies/trackers where required)
- Legitimate Interests (security, abuse prevention, core analytics/performance)
- Contractual Necessity (delivering accounts, downloads, or support you request)
- Legal Obligations (responding to lawful requests and compliance)
3. Comments
When visitors leave comments, we may collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address,
and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Anti-Spam: Comments may be checked through Akismet to reduce spam and abusive behavior.
4. Community Areas
If community features are enabled (BuddyPress/bbPress), we store information you provide in profiles and content you submit
(forums, activity streams, group participation).
Public community content is visible to others. Don’t post sensitive personal information publicly.
5. Private Messages
Direct messages are intended for the sender and recipient. Administrators do not routinely read private messages,
but may access content if reasonably necessary for moderation, safety, troubleshooting, legal compliance, or abuse investigations.
6. Support Tickets & Contact Requests
If you contact us through forms or support tickets (e.g., SupportCandy / Fluent Forms), we collect the information you submit
(typically name, email, message content, and attachments) to respond and resolve the request.
7. Forms, CRM & Live Chat
- Fluent Forms: stores form submissions in WordPress for response and recordkeeping.
- FluentCRM (if used): may store contact details and preferences for newsletters/automation; unsubscribe options are provided where applicable.
- HubSpot (if enabled): may provide forms, popups, and live chat; it may use cookies/identifiers depending on configuration and consent.
8. Downloads
Download Monitor is used to provide downloadable files and measure download performance. Depending on configuration,
download requests may log technical information (e.g., timestamps, referrer, and potentially IP address) for security and analytics.
Captcha: Some downloads may require a bot check (e.g., Cloudflare Turnstile) before access.
9. Media Uploads
If you upload images or files, avoid embedding sensitive metadata (like GPS location), as others can extract it from public files.
10. Embedded Content
Pages may include embedded content (videos, images, posts). Embedded content behaves the same way as visiting the third-party site directly
and may collect data or set cookies independently of us.
11. Analytics & Advertising
- Analytics: We may use Google tools via Site Kit (e.g., Google Analytics, Search Console). These may use cookies/identifiers depending on consent/settings.
- Advertising: We may display Google AdSense ads. Ads may be non-personalized or personalized depending on your region, your consent choices, and configuration.
12. Who We Share Data With

for security, dispute resolution, or enforcement.

| Download Logs | As configured | Used for security and measurement |
| Analytics | Per vendor settings | May be aggregated or anonymized |
14. Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable laws (e.g., GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, Canadian privacy laws), you may request access, correction,
deletion/erasure (subject to exceptions), restriction/objection to certain processing, and (where applicable) data portability.
