This Privacy Policy describes how Stackvice (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit stackvice.com. We take your privacy seriously and collect only what we need to operate the site.
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways:
Automatically collected
When you visit Stackvice, our hosting provider and analytics tools may collect standard log data including your IP address, browser type, referring pages, pages viewed, and time spent on the site. This data is used solely to understand how the site is used and to improve it.
Information you provide
If you contact us through the contact form, we collect your name and email address to respond to your inquiry. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you updates. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Sites
Stackvice participates in affiliate programs. Some links on this site are affiliate links — if you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we genuinely evaluate.
When you click an affiliate link, you leave Stackvice and are subject to the privacy policy of the destination site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites and encourage you to review their policies before providing any personal information.
Analytics and Cookies
We use Google Analytics via Site Kit to understand site traffic and reader behavior in aggregate. Google Analytics uses cookies to track visits. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
WordPress may also set functional cookies necessary for the site to operate correctly. We do not use advertising cookies or sell your data to advertisers.
Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to the Stackvice newsletter, your email address is stored securely and used only to send you cybersecurity updates and product recommendations. We use Brevo to manage email delivery. Your email is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. You can unsubscribe at any time — every email includes an unsubscribe link that removes you immediately.
How We Use Your Information
- To operate and improve the Stackvice website
- To respond to contact form inquiries
- To send newsletter emails to subscribers who have opted in
- To understand aggregate traffic patterns via analytics
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers or data brokers.
Data Retention and Security
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. We implement reasonable technical measures to protect your data, but no internet transmission is completely secure. We encourage you not to submit sensitive personal information through web forms.
Your Rights
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you. To make a request, contact us at derek@stackvice.com. If you are located in the European Economic Area, you may also have additional rights under GDPR including the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of Stackvice after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
