Respecting your privacy is of utmost importance to us at SubFort. We adhere to a set of fundamental principles that guide our practices:
- We only request personal information when it is genuinely necessary. (We strongly dislike services that ask for details like your gender or income level without a valid reason.)
- We do not share your personal information with anyone, except when mandated by the law, essential for product development, or crucial for safeguarding our rights.
- We do not store unencrypted personal information on our servers unless it is necessary for the continuous functioning of our site.
SubFort, a part of Blurr di Shirani Bid Abadi Aryan, manages multiple websites, including SubFort.com. Our commitment is to uphold your privacy in every aspect concerning the information we may collect during the operation of our websites.
Website Visitors
Similar to most website operators, SubFort gathers non-personally-identifying information typically provided by web browsers and servers. This information encompasses data such as browser type, language preferences, referring website, and the timestamp of each visitor request. SubFort’s objective in collecting non-personally identifying data is to gain a better understanding of how visitors utilize its website. On occasion, SubFort may share non-personally-identifying information in an aggregated form, such as publishing reports on usage trends on the website.
SubFort also collects potentially personally-identifying details, like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, from users who are logged in or leave comments on our blog posts. SubFort only discloses IP addresses for logged-in users and commenters under the same circumstances that it employs for sharing personally-identifying information, as outlined below. However, it’s worth noting that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and revealed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was posted.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Some visitors to SubFort’s websites opt to engage with SubFort in ways that necessitate the collection of personally-identifying information. The extent and type of information gathered by SubFort are contingent on the nature of the interaction. For instance, when visitors leave comments on our blog, we request a username and email address. For those interested in receiving SubFort updates via email, we collect their email addresses. In every instance, SubFort acquires this information only to the extent that is required or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with SubFort. SubFort refrains from disclosing personally-identifying information, except as outlined below. Additionally, visitors always have the option to withhold personally-identifying information, but this may limit their participation in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
SubFort may gather data regarding the actions of its website visitors. For example, SubFort might track the most frequently visited pages on the SubFort.com site or employ spam filtering through the Akismet service to detect and prevent spam. SubFort may choose to share this data publicly or with third parties. However, SubFort refrains from revealing personally-identifying information, with exceptions as outlined below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
SubFort will only reveal potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations under the following conditions: (i) they need the information to perform services on SubFort’s behalf or to facilitate services provided on SubFort’s websites, and (ii) they have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of these employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located in regions outside your home country; by utilizing SubFort’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. SubFort will not lease or trade potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to any third party. Aside from its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations as previously mentioned, SubFort will only divulge potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information in response to a subpoena, court order, government request, or when SubFort believes, in good faith, that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect SubFort’s property, rights, third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a SubFort website and have provided your email address, SubFort may periodically send you emails to inform you about new features, request your feedback, or provide updates on SubFort and its products. SubFort primarily utilizes its various product blogs for communication of this kind, with the intention to keep such emails to a minimum. If you submit a request to SubFort (e.g., via a support email or feedback mechanism), SubFort reserves the right to potentially publish it to clarify or respond to your request or to assist other users. SubFort takes reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, modification, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data that a website stores on a visitor’s device, which the visitor’s browser sends back to the website each time the visitor returns. SubFort utilizes cookies to assist in identifying and monitoring visitors, their interactions with the SubFort website, and their preferences for website access. Visitors to SubFort who prefer not to have cookies stored on their devices should configure their browsers to reject cookies before accessing SubFort’s websites. However, please be aware that some features of SubFort’s websites may not operate correctly without the assistance of cookies.
Usage Tracking
SubFort gathers specific data through usage tracking. The purpose of this tracking is to enhance our understanding of our users and their website requirements by analyzing various factors within their SubFort plugin, WordPress, and web hosting environment. This information enables us to continuously improve our product and our quality assurance/testing procedures. The data may encompass the license key (including its type), plugin activation dates, affiliate and referral statistics. This aids in ensuring that our features and updates are thoroughly tested under conditions that closely resemble our customers’ site configurations and SubFort usage. Information related to active integrations and plugin settings may also be collected, though sensitive settings like API keys are automatically excluded from tracking.
Our usage tracking involves the collection of information related to the active WordPress theme/plugins, locale, timezone, SSL status, multisite status, and the site URL. Furthermore, it includes the identification of PHP and MySQL versions, which assists in ensuring comprehensive testing to avoid compatibility issues, as well as identifying the server software used for testing purposes.
Opting Out of Usage Tracking
If you wish to disable usage tracking, please contact our support team, and they will be more than happy to assist you.
