Privacy Policy

Effective September 27, 2017

The Plus Kit values and respects your privacy. We collect information about you as a user of this site (http://thepluskit.com) in order to improve upon and maintain the site. This privacy policy outlines what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

Privacy policy changes

The Plus Kit’s privacy policy will change as time passes. This is because the site itself will change as it grows and responds to user feedback.

We encourage you to continually reference the privacy policy so you can stay updated on our current policies. When changes are made to the privacy policy, the updated policies will be posted here at http://thepluskit.com/privacy.

Your continued access and use of The Plus Kit will constitute your acceptance of any revisions to our privacy policy.

What data we collect

We collect data on your site usage from our analytics and tracking code, Google Analytics. This data tells us which pages you visit, how you reached them, and sometimes how long you were on them. This includes information like what shipping country, price range, and item types you select when filtering the store list. Google Analytics also provides us with demographics information such as the following:

  • Your city, state, and country
  • What web browser you use
  • What operating system you use (e.g. Windows, Mac)
  • Your internet service provider

How we use your data

The Plus Kit uses user data to better tailor the site to our users. Understanding our user base helps us understand who the site is serving well, and who it could serve better. For example, knowing about the sort of internet you're on helps us consider whether the site is too high-bandwidth for our users. Another example is that seeing where traffic drops off from the site tells us what pieces of the site are confusing or uninteresting to users.

Currently no companies receive any data from The Plus Kit. If this changes, you will be able to find information here at thepluskit.com/privacy regarding the change. Read more details »

Cookies

We may use cookies to log certain information. A cookie is a small piece of data that The Plus Kit stores in your web browser, which we can later retrieve and then use to provide context for your ongoing usage of the site. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information such as your name or email address. If you would prefer to not allow cookies on our site, you can disable them using your web browser.

Local Storage

Another method we may use to store information in your browser is Local Storage. Local Storage has some similarities to Cookies, but unlike Cookies, Local Storage can only be read and interacted with by your browser, not the Plus Kit‘s server. This means that no one can access this data by compromising the Plus Kit‘s server, it is stored only on your device via your browser. The security of data in Local Storage is only as strong as the security you maintain on your device.

Protect yourself from scams

The Plus Kit will never email you asking for your username, password, or other private information. Do not respond to any email that requests information of this nature from you, even if it looks like it is from us.

Links to third party websites

This site contains links to third party websites. The Plus Kit is not liable for the content or practices of external websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third party websites, as their privacy policies may differ from our own. The privacy policy seen here at thepluskit.com/privacy is only applicable to The Plus Kit.

Sharing user data

The Plus Kit does not currently share any data with third parties beyond what is outlined above in our collection of data using Google Analytics. If this changes, we will provide the following details about data collection here at thepluskit.com/privacy:

  • What data is being shared
  • How, and how often, the shared data is being collected
  • What entities the data is being shared with
