ImprovedWP uses cookies in offering its services. A cookie is a small and simple file that can be stored on the hard disk of a computer. ImprovedWP’s cookies are merely temporary, not permanent, and contain no personal data.
Functional Cookies – ImprovedWP uses a cookie to see whether or not a visitor to our website accepts the cookies on our website(s). This functional cookie registers your consent.
Analytics Cookies – Our website keeps visitor records and metrics, such as most visited pages. This allows ImprovedWP to optimize the layout of its website(s). To this end, we use Google Analytics, and we use this data to improve our website(s), to compile statistics, and to measure the popularity of different aspects of our website(s). ImprovedWP uses this data in an aggregated form and therefore this cannot be traced back to any computer or individual. To prevent this from happening, you can install the ‘Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on’ to prevent our websites from informing Google Analytics about your visits.
Social Media Cookies – We display various buttons and widgets on our websites which link to social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram. These are pieces of code from the social media platforms themselves and use a cookie. This cookie remembers that you are logged in. To know the exact details of what these social media platforms do with your data, you need to review their individual privacy statements (which are also subject to change). You can disable this feature by installing a program such as ‘Disconnect’ for Chrome and Firefox.
WordPress Cookies – By default WordPress uses cookies for authentication purposes to store session information for logged in users. It also sets a cookie when someone leaves a comment on this website.
WPForms Cookie – We have installed the WPForms plugin for the use of our support/contact form. If you visit a page that has WPForms on it, it checks to see if the user already has a WPForms UUID cookie (Universally Unique Identifier). If the user does not have one already, the plugin will create a UUID cookie. This cookie allows the plugin to connect entries by the same user and some additional features. However, this cookie does not contain or represent any personal information or entry details other than IP address and user log-in. It is mostly a random collection of numbers and letters that we may use for back-end processing.
Personalized Advertising – We use a technique called ‘retargeting’ on our website, which allows for relevant advertisements on other websites for those users who already expressed an interest in ImprovedWP. We do so because we are of the opinion that displaying personalized advertisements for internet users as a whole is more interesting than advertisements that are irrelevant to the particular user.
You can set your browser to notify you as soon as you receive a cookie or to deactivate cookies. In doing so, it is possible that our websites will not function optimally.
We insist on not processing any personal data of minors unless this is explicitly consented to by a parent or legal guardian. However, as it is hard to detect whether we are doing so, we strongly encourage you to inform us if you have reason to believe we process the personal data of a minor. We will delete this personal data instantly.
ImprovedWP is committed to securing your personal data and has taken the necessary steps in this regard. Only our employees, interns, and volunteers are authorized to access personal data, yet, only to the extent necessary to properly perform their individual jobs.

ImprovedWP only shares personal data with third parties if it is necessary to serve its applicable purpose as set out above. In all cases, we will ensure that third parties with access to your personal data have implemented appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to maintain our envisioned level of privacy and security. We furthermore insist that all data protection and privacy laws are adhered to at all times.
We undertake to have data processing agreements in place with all third parties who process your personal data on our behalf. In any case, we ensure that these third parties have at least the same level of technical and organizational safeguarding measures implemented as we have done.
If your personal data is transferred to a recipient in a country outside the EEA or where an adequate level of protection of personal data is not provided for, ImprovedWP will take measures to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected in those countries as well, such as entering into the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with these third parties.

If you choose to use PayPal to make purchases through the website, you will be directed to the PayPal website and provide your payment information directly to PayPal. PayPal’s privacy policy applies to the information you provide on the PayPal website.

We treat personal data very carefully, and, possibly together with third parties, we ensure that appropriate organizational and technical protection measures are implemented to safely store personal data. In this manner, we ensure that the personal data is only accessible to those particular individuals who are authorized based on their job function, and therefore is only used for its intended purpose. Additionally, we have implemented measures to guarantee your safe visit to and use of our websites. In doing so, we prevent any abuse of your data. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and facilities.
ImprovedWP has taken the necessary technical and organizational measures to prevent, signal, rapport, and handle any breach in its data protection. Among other things, we use Cloudflare DNS and SSL.

You also have the right to withdraw your previously given consent to the processing of your personal data or to object to the processing of your personal data by ImprovedWP. Finally, you have the right to have a file sent to you, containing details of which of your personal data we have stored. You can send us a request to receive such a file in writing. Any request is subject to the applicable law, which means that we might need to keep the personal data stored.
