What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Contact forms
We are collecting and storing the data contained in our email newsletter signup form. This data includes name and email address.
Some of our contact forms include the ability to pay us for subscription-based services, such as hosting and support plans. Those contact forms include additional Personal Information required to process those payments, including, full name, business name, and credit card information. We store only the minimum amount of information on our own site to track those payments (the last four digits of the credit card) along with other Personal Information in the form.
