Data collected by the GPL Kit plugin

When you install the GPL Kit plugin no data is collected and stored by GPL Kit. If the GPL Kit plugin is activated with a valid license key and email the GPL Kit plugin will capture what websites are activated and deactivated as per the 25 site license activation limit.

Who we share your data with

We don’t share your data with third-parties in a way as to reveal any of your personal information like email, name, etc. However, some data is transferred and/or stored with third-party services we use, like cloud-based services and payment processors. This is done as a way to provide you with a better overall service and user experience.

Here are the services we use to make our own service better for you:

  • MailChimp – we store our client contact details for newsletters, announcements, and usability testing invite purposes. They can opt-out of these at any time.
  • PayPal – we use Paypal as one of our payment processor. During checkout, a client will provide login information and credit card info. This information is processed directly within this gateway payment and we do not save it on our sites.
  • Stripe – we use Stripe as one of our payment processor. During checkout, a client will provide credit card info. These are all stored in the Stripe site.

Who can see my personal information

If you are not a registered client in our site, there is no personal information we have or can see about you.

If you are a customer with an account, your personal information can only be accessed by our System administrators.

How long we retain your data

When you submit a support ticket its metadata is retained until (if) you tell us to remove it.

If you register on our website, we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except changing your username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

How we protect your data and what data breach procedures we have in place

We protect customer data with the following site features:

  • We are using SSL/HTTPS throughout our site. This encrypts our user communications with the servers so personal identifiable information is never captured by third parties without authorization.
  • Databases are sanitized (actual user personal details are removed) before deploying to development or testing environment.

In case of a data breach, System administrators will immediately go through affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. In short, we cannot erase data that is vital to you being currently our customer (i.e. basic account information like an email address).

For these requests, please email us at contact@gplkit.com.
