When we say “website” in this policy, we mean https://wpscaleup.com and any related pages hosted under this domain.

2. Information we collect What & when

We collect information in three main ways:

  • Information you provide directly when you: fill out a contact form, request a quote, schedule a call, subscribe to updates, or email us.
  • Information collected automatically when you browse the site, such as device details and analytics data.
  • Information from project work when we deliver services and access your WordPress, hosting, or third-party tools as agreed.

Examples of data we may collect:

  • Work email address and phone number
  • Website URL(s) and project details
  • Billing and invoicing details (via third-party providers)
  • IP address and browser type
  • Pages visited and on-site actions

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (such as political opinions, health data, or similar categories).

We use your information to:

  • Respond to inquiries and provide estimates or proposals.
  • Plan, deliver, and manage WordPress & WooCommerce projects.
  • Send important updates about your project or our services.

4. Legal bases for processing (for EU/EEA & UK visitors) GDPR

If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, our legal bases for processing personal data may include:

  • Consent – e.g., when you submit a form or accept cookies.
  • Contract – to prepare or perform a service agreement with you.
  • Legitimate interests – such as running and securing our website, and growing our business, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Legal obligations – where we must keep records for tax, accounting, or compliance reasons.

5. Cookies & analytics Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site and to keep it secure and performant.

We may use:

  • Essential cookies – required for basic site functionality and security.
  • Analytics cookies – to measure traffic, popular pages, and user flows (for example, via Google Analytics or Google Site Kit).
  • Preference cookies – where needed to remember your choices.

You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling some cookies may affect how the website functions.

6. How we share information Third-party access

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers & subcontractors who help us deliver hosting, email, analytics, communication, or development services.
  • Payment processors and financial tools used for invoicing and accounting (these providers process billing information under their own policies).
  • Legal or regulatory authorities when required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

Because we work with global clients and tools, your information may be processed in countries outside your own. Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place.

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including:

  • To respond to your inquiry or manage an active project.

When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely store it depending on what is appropriate.
