Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 April 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Smart Certificate Generator Pro ("we", "our", or "the plugin") handles information when you purchase or use our software. We take privacy seriously and collect only what is strictly necessary.

1. Information We Collect

When you purchase the plugin, your payment is processed by Stripe. The following information is collected by Stripe on our behalf:

We do not operate an account system. Beyond the purchase record provided by Stripe, we do not collect any personal data.

2. Data Stored by the Plugin on Your WordPress Site

The plugin stores data on your own WordPress database, not on our servers. This data includes:

You are the data controller for any personal data stored in your WordPress installation. We have no access to it.

3. Third-Party Services Used by the Plugin

QR Code Generation (qrserver.com): When a certificate is generated, the plugin may send a verification URL to api.qrserver.com to produce a QR image. The URL contains only the certificate code — no personal data (name, email, etc.) is transmitted. This feature can be disabled in plugin settings.

Google Fonts: The landing page loads fonts from Google Fonts CDN. Google may log the request IP address per their own privacy policy.

4. Cookies

The plugin itself does not set any cookies in your visitors' browsers. The landing page (this website) does not use tracking cookies or analytics.

5. Email Communications

We may send you a transactional email when your purchase is confirmed or when a licence key is issued. We do not send marketing emails unless you explicitly opt in.

6. Data Retention

Purchase records are retained for as long as required by applicable tax law (typically 7 years). You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us, subject to legal retention obligations.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the right to access, correct, or erase your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below. For data held by Stripe (payment and purchase records), please refer to Stripe's privacy policy directly.

8. Children's Privacy

Our plugin and this website are not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the plugin after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please reply to your Stripe purchase receipt email and we will respond within 2 business days.
