Privacy policy

This policy explains what personal information Zonkware ("we", "us") collects through zonkpress.com, when you buy one of our plugins, and through the plugins themselves, and what we do with it. The short version: the website collects nothing beyond what's needed to serve it, purchases are handled by our reseller Freemius, and our free plugins send us nothing.

Who we are

Zonkware makes the ZonkPress WordPress plugins, including Leaguewise and Boardwise. We are responsible for the personal information described here. Contact us at [email protected]. We are based in Simi Valley, California, United States.

This website

zonkpress.com is a static website. It has no accounts, comment forms or newsletter sign-up, and it sets no cookies.

• Hosting. The site is served by Cloudflare. To deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, Cloudflare processes technical information about each request, such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
• Analytics. We don't use analytics or advertising trackers.
• Fonts and scripts. Pages load no fonts or scripts from other companies.

When you email us

If you write to us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you attach. We use it to answer you and keep it so we can follow up on the same issue later. We delete support correspondence when it's no longer needed, and within three years of the last message.

When you buy a plugin

Our Pro plugins are sold through Freemius, Inc., which acts as our reseller and merchant of record. Freemius runs the checkout, takes payment, charges any sales tax or VAT, issues invoices and manages licences. It processes your name, email address, billing details and payment information under its own privacy policy. Card details go to Freemius's payment processors; we never see them.

Freemius shares with us what we need to support you: your name, email address, country, what you bought, your licence and the sites it's active on. We use this to provide updates and support, to tell you about your licence and renewals, and to keep business and tax records.

We'll only send you product news or offers if you agreed to them at checkout, and every such email has an unsubscribe link.

The plugins on your site

Free plugins

Our free plugins from wordpress.org send no information to us. Any outside service a plugin can use is listed, with what it sends, in the "External services" section of the plugin's readme. For example, Leaguewise's venue maps load tiles from OpenStreetMap, and site owners can turn maps off. Boardwise contacts Stripe (paid listings), OpenStreetMap Nominatim (location lookup), GeoNames (extra postal-code data) or Greenhouse (a job feed) only when the site owner switches on the feature that needs them.

Pro plugins

Pro plugins include the Freemius software kit so that licences can be activated and updates delivered. When you activate a licence, it sends Freemius your site's address, the licence key, the plugin, WordPress and PHP versions, and the email address of the administrator who activated it. It checks for updates periodically using the same details.

Your league's or board's data

Everything you or your visitors enter into our plugins (players, teams, registrations, job listings, applications and so on) is stored in your own WordPress database. We don't receive it. You are responsible for that data and for your own site's privacy policy; the plugins add suggested text to WordPress's privacy policy guide to help.

Services you connect a Pro plugin to receive data directly from your site under your agreement with them, not through us. For example, Leaguewise Pro can use your Stripe and Twilio accounts. Boardwise Pro can use PayPal and Stripe (payments, subscriptions and tax), OpenAI or Anthropic with your own key (AI features; fit summaries have contact details, links, addresses and names removed first), Google's Indexing API and IndexNow (job page addresses), Lever, Ashby, USAJOBS and JSON job feeds, and webhook addresses you add, such as Zapier (application events can include the candidate's name, email and phone). Each Pro plugin's readme lists what every service receives.

Legal basis (EU and UK)

We handle purchase and licence information to perform our contract with you and to meet tax and accounting obligations. We answer support emails because you asked us to. We send product news only with your consent. Cloudflare's request processing is in our legitimate interest in running a secure website.

How long we keep information

• Purchase and licence records: for as long as your licence is active, then as long as tax law requires (usually up to seven years).
• Support email: up to three years after the last message.

Who we share it with

Only with the services named in this policy (Cloudflare, Freemius and our email provider), and only for the purposes described. We don't sell personal information, and we don't share it for advertising. We'd disclose information if the law required us to.

These services may process information in the United States and other countries. Where the law requires it, transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, and you can object to or limit how we use it. EU and UK residents can also complain to their data protection authority. California residents have similar rights under the CCPA; we don't sell or share personal information as that law defines it. Write to [email protected] and we'll respond within 30 days.

For purchase data held by Freemius, you can also contact Freemius directly.

Children

Our website and products are for site owners and businesses, not children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. Leaguewise is often used by youth sports leagues; information about players on those sites is held by the league, not by us.

Changes

If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top. If a change materially affects how we use information we already hold, we'll tell customers by email.
