Smoak Dev ("we", "us", or "our") operates the smoakdev.com website and associated services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or purchase our products.
When you purchase a plugin, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, and payment information. Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe; we do not store credit card numbers on our servers.
When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used for security, analytics, and improving our services.
Our plugins may periodically contact our license server to verify your license key. This communication includes only the license key, the domain where the plugin is installed, and the plugin version. No personal data from your WordPress site or its visitors is transmitted.
We use the information we collect to process your purchases and deliver license keys, provide customer support, send product updates and security notices, improve our website and products, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
We use the following third-party services that may receive your data in the course of providing their services to us:
Stripe processes payments on our behalf. Their privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy. Hetzner provides server hosting. GitHub hosts our source code repositories.
Our website uses only essential cookies required for basic site functionality (e.g., WordPress session management). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
We retain your purchase records and license information for as long as your license is active, and for a reasonable period afterward for tax and legal compliance. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. You may also withdraw consent for email communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or contacting us directly.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure server infrastructure, and limited access controls. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our products and services are not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
