This Privacy Policy explains how Tangleroot Dependency Mapper (“Tangleroot,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information in connection with this website (tanglerootmapper.com) and the Tangleroot Dependency Mapper WordPress plugin (the “Plugin,” available in a free “Lite” edition and a paid “Pro” edition).
1. The Plugin runs on your own site
The Plugin is installed on your own WordPress website and analyzes your site’s plugins, themes, and dependencies locally, on your own server. Running the Plugin does not, by itself, transmit the contents of your website to us. The sections below describe the limited information that is sent to us, and only in the specific circumstances described.
2. Information we collect
Website visitors
When you visit this website, our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you view. We use this information only to operate, secure, and improve the site.
Pro license activation
If you purchase and activate a Pro license, the Plugin sends your license key and your website’s URL to our licensing server so that we can verify your license is active and entitled to Pro features. We use this information solely to administer licenses and provide support.
Payment information
All purchases of Pro licenses are processed by Paddle.com, which acts as the merchant of record for all orders. Paddle collects your billing details, payment card information, and any tax information required to complete your purchase. We never see or store your full payment card details ourselves. Paddle’s own privacy policy governs its handling of that information; see paddle.com/legal/privacy.
Support and contact requests
If you email us for support, you provide us with your email address and the contents of your message, which we use to respond to your request and keep a record of the correspondence.
Cookies
This website may use essential cookies required for basic functionality (such as remembering your cart during checkout). We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
3. How we use your information
- To provide, operate, and maintain the Plugin and this website
- To process purchases and verify Pro license activations
- To respond to support requests and other communications
- To send important notices about your license, such as renewal or expiration reminders
- To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and security issues
4. Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:
- Paddle.com, our payment processor and merchant of record, to complete purchases and manage subscriptions;
- Service providers who help us operate our website, email, and licensing infrastructure, under obligations to protect your information; and
- Authorities, where required to comply with a legal obligation.
5. Data retention
We retain license and support records for as long as needed to provide the Plugin and support, and as required for legitimate business, tax, or legal purposes. You may ask us to delete your data as described below.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@tanglerootmapper.com.
7. Children’s privacy
This website and the Plugin are intended for business and professional use and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
