What Personal Data Do We Collect?

As visitors interact with our website they may share information with us up to and including Name, email address, phone number, billing address, IP address, web address, browser version, account usernames and passwords, credit card information, and click behavior.

We collect this data to help facilitate communication, improve user experience, perform our duties as a WordPress service provider, and to measure engagement so we can improve our education efforts.

We also collect usernames and passwords for third-party providers such as hosting companies, email providers, plugin vendors, and other accounts that don’t allow for the use of sub-accounts or easily sharing account access with a method other than passwords.
All sensitive data is submitted to a secure form on our website, and entries in that form are auto-purged every 48 hours. Sharing credentials is always a last resort when accessing third-party vendor accounts, but is sometimes necessary to perform WordPress support.

Comment Forms

Users who leave comments on our blog posts have the ability to leave comments anonymously, or may choose to include their name, email, and web address as well. Comment data is processed through a third-party spam filtering service, Akismet. You can learn about how comment data is processed by Akismet in  Automattic’s Privacy Policy .

Contact Forms

Users who complete our forms will share their name, email, as well as their unique message, which contains whatever data the user willing shares. This information is used to learn about our site visitors and initiate conversations about our business.
These conversations flow into our Help desk, Hubspot. You can read Hubspot’s privacy policy  here .
These initial conversations also stored as form entries on https://stage.cinchws.com. These entries are auto-purged every 30 days and can be removed at any time at a visitor or customer request.

Newsletter Subscription Form

If you enter your name and email into one of our dedicating mailing list forms, we’ll contact you when we publish new blog posts, changes to our business, or special offers. You can unsubscribe from these mailings at any time by clicking the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the emails you receive.
You can also have your email removed from our system entirely by contacting us at  support@cinchws.com

Use of cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Below is a list of third parties we work with and their associated privacy policies.
We do not share any of this information without your consent. If for some reason you prefer not to have us share this information, it may hinder the service we’re able to provide, but we’ll honor your request.

With Public Authorities or Law Enforcement

In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We may also disclose your personal information as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights.

Working With Customer Websites

In some situations it’s required that we copy customer websites to staging areas or to our local computers for diagnostics, troubleshooting, or testing.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

During cancellation of our services we follow a templated process to ensure that all customer data is removed from our records and the third-party vendors that we use.

Information security and storage

We understand that the security of your personal information is important. We provide reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security controls to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Your personal information and data files are stored on our servers and the servers of companies we hire to provide services to us.

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide you with the websites and services you are eligible to use or as needed to comply with our legal obligations or enforce our agreements. For example, we may retain certain records for legal or internal business reasons, such as fraud prevention. Some of your information may also remain on backup systems, in compliance with applicable law.

Occasionally, we may change or update this Privacy Policy to allow us to use or share your previously collected personal information in a materially different way. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy for the latest information on our privacy practices.
