Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
ifcodeif (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website ifcodeif.com (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the site.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Information you provide voluntarily: When you subscribe to our newsletter or submit a contact or report form, you provide your email address and optionally your name.
- Automatically collected information: When you visit ifcodeif.com, our servers may log your IP address, browser type, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This data is used only for security, abuse prevention, and aggregate analytics.
- Cookies: WordPress sets functional cookies to remember your session. No third-party advertising cookies are placed. Google reCAPTCHA may set cookies to distinguish humans from bots.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To send you our free weekly developer newsletter (only after you confirm your subscription).
- To respond to support requests, bug reports, or contact form submissions.
- To prevent spam and abuse via rate-limiting and reCAPTCHA.
- To improve the quality and performance of the site.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
4. Newsletter & Double Opt-in
Our newsletter uses a double opt-in process. When you submit your email address, you will receive a confirmation link. Your subscription is only activated when you click that link. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email or by contacting us directly.
5. Google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA v3 on our forms to prevent spam. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information, such as device and application data, and sends it to Google for analysis. This service is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
6. Data Retention
Newsletter subscriber records are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Contact and report form submissions are retained for up to 12 months for operational purposes, then permanently deleted.
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your data. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
