Privacy statement
I care about your privacy. I don’t like Big Corporations spying on me and I can only assume you don’t like it either.
Yet, if you visit my site, some information might be gathered and used, so let me explain what this information is and
how it is used.
Summary
Benign cookies are used for marketing and making money. If you give me your mail address, I will only use it to
communicate with you. If you give me a donation, a record of it is kept at PayPal and Ko-Fi.
In detail
Templatemaker is sponsored exclusively by SignCutPro.com. No cookies are used to display their advertisements.
I use Google Analytics to keep track of how many users visit my visit and where they are from. Google Analytics also
sets cookies to be able to tell if a user has visited my site before. I disabled “tracking cookies”. I do not
see or store any personal individual information in the Google Analytics platform.
My templates are featured a lot on Pinterest. To stimulate that, I added Pinterest-buttons everywhere. From the
Personalization and data page on Pinterest:
If you go to a site that has the Save button or a Pinterest widget, Pinterest can use info about that visit to
personalize your experience back on Pinterest, to measure ad effectiveness, and for other purposes described
in our cookie policy.
Visit their Privacy Policy to learn more.
The other social media links (on the left side of the window) don’t set any cookies. They are just that: plain
links, no JavaScript. That being said, I have (of course) no control over what these platforms do after you clicked on
the link and landed on their site.
Donations are handled by Ko-Fi and by by PayPal. If you give me
a “coffee” (thanks!), I will receive an e-mail with your name and e-mail address, provided to me by PayPal. I do not
use this information and I will delete this e-mail straight away. You can choose to leave a message together with
the donation (I love to read those!). In that case, your reaction and the name you provided will be shown at the
Ko-Fi site. PayPal will keep a record of the the transaction, which I can access but which I will not use. Please,
refer to their respective privacy policies:
If you contact me through my site, you can choose to leave your mail address behind. This mail address is stored on
my mail client and I use it to reply to you. Of course, if you send me other personal information in the message, then
that will get stored on my mail client too.
