Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how GetYourStore.com ("we", "us") handles information when you visit the website at getyourstore.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to this policy.
1. Information you give us
When you submit a form (contact, project brief, store audit, newsletter, contest entry, job application, advertising inquiry or support pledge), we collect what you enter, such as your name, email, phone number, country, website and message. We use it only to respond to your request, deliver what you asked for and run the related service. Form submissions are delivered to us by email through FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), a third-party form processor that handles the data under its own privacy policy.
2. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider (GitHub Pages) and our advertising and embedded-content partners may collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, device, pages visited and referring site, for security, analytics and advertising purposes.
3. Advertising: Google AdSense
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
- Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Choosing "Essential only" in our cookie banner asks Google to serve non-personalised ads. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland may also see a Google-certified consent message.
4. Cookies and local storage
We use browser local storage to remember your theme, cookie choice, tool inputs, checklist and roadmap progress, saved names and form drafts. This data stays on your device and is never sent to us unless you submit a form. See our Cookie Policy.
5. Embedded content and fonts
Videos are embedded with YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) and load only when you press play. YouTube may then set cookies under Google's policies. We load fonts from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address to deliver them. Our news page and headline widget may load public news headlines through rss2json.com, which also receives your IP address to deliver them.
6. How we use information
- To reply to inquiries and deliver quotes, audits, plans and services
- To send emails you subscribed to (unsubscribe at any time)
- To run contests and review job applications
- To maintain security and improve the Site
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information. If you ask for a store build, we may share your brief with the vetted specialist assigned to your project, solely to deliver it.
7. Retention
We keep inquiry and project emails for as long as needed to provide the service and meet legal requirements, and job applications for up to 12 months, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, Canada's PIPEDA, California's CCPA/CPRA or India's DPDP Act), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, use the contact form and choose "Privacy request". You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
9. Children
The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
10. International transfers and security
Our service providers may process data in other countries. We use reputable providers and HTTPS, but no method of transmission is 100% secure.
11. Changes
We may update this policy; the effective date above shows the latest version.
