When visitors come to your BizPorch-powered site, we collect limited analytics data on your behalf — specifically page views, unique visitors, and click events. This data is aggregated and does not include personally identifiable information about your visitors. We do not build profiles of your site's visitors or use their data for any purpose other than providing analytics to you.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information and site content within a reasonable period, typically within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes or fraud prevention.

Billing records may be retained longer as required by financial regulations.

No system is perfectly secure. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or through a notice in your Dashboard. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
