What data we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a visitor to SoftFolioz.
Summary: SoftFolioz collects minimal data. We use Google Analytics for anonymised traffic insights and email addresses only when you subscribe to our newsletter. We do not sell personal data. We do not run user-tracking advertising.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use SoftFolioz — which pages are popular, how readers find us, and how long they spend with our content. Google Analytics collects anonymised usage data including page views, session duration, and approximate geographic location (country level). We do not use analytics data to identify individual visitors. IP addresses are anonymised. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-Out browser extension.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. We use this only to send you the newsletter you subscribed to. We do not sell, trade, or share email addresses with third parties. You can unsubscribe from any newsletter email at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email footer.
SoftFolioz uses cookies for analytics (Google Analytics) and for affiliate link tracking. When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate network may set a cookie to track your purchase. This cookie is managed by the affiliate network, not by SoftFolioz. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies does not affect your use of the site. Disabling affiliate cookies means we will not receive credit for purchases made through our links, but the products and prices remain identical.
When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with third parties or used for marketing purposes.
SoftFolioz does not store sensitive personal data such as payment information, passwords, or government identification. The site is served over HTTPS. Contact form submissions are transmitted securely. We retain contact form data only as long as necessary to respond to and resolve your enquiry.
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws (including GDPR and CCPA) to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@softfolioz.com.
