Our Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. We’re committed to respecting your privacy and complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the personal information we collect through this website, Cookievolve, as well as any related services and third-party platforms we use. This policy was last updated on August 22, 2025.

Information we collect

Personal information refers to any data that can identify you. We collect this information in two ways:

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, our servers automatically log standard data provided by your browser. This may include:

The exact device data we collect depends on your device and software settings. We recommend reviewing your device or software provider’s policies for more details.
If you experience an error on our site, we also collect information about the issue, including technical details about your device, what you were doing at the time, and other relevant error-related data.
While this information typically isn’t personally identifying on its own, it may be combined with other data to identify individuals.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

We collect personal details that you share with us, including:

Order Forms: When placing an order, we may request your name, email address, website URL, and payment information.
Contact & Interaction: If you contact us, leave a review, or engage with us on social media, we may collect details like your name and profile information.
Affiliate Program: When you join or use our affiliate program, we may collect information linked to your affiliate account, as permitted by our third-party provider, Tapfiliate.

Content Created by User

Cookievolve may use your personal information to attribute this content when publishing it on our website or other platforms, including social media. User-generated content includes reviews or feedback submitted voluntarily through our on-site widget. Please keep that in your mind any content you submit for publication may become public after posting and review. Once published, it could be accessible to third parties not covered by this privacy policy.

How Your Personal Information Collected and Use

Cookievolve collects and uses your personal information only when we have a legitimate reason to do so, referred to as “lawful bases” under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Examples include:

We handle your information lawfully, fairly, and transparently. If we require your consent to process personal data and you’re under 16, we’ll obtain consent from your parent or legal guardian for that specific purpose. The reason for collecting and using information depends on the services you use and how you interact with them. This means we only process your data on the following lawful grounds:

Your Consent

When you provide consent, we collect and use your personal information for the specified purpose. You can withdraw this consent at any time using the tools we provide. Please note, withdrawal does not affect any processing already carried out. For example, you may consent to receive marketing emails from us. While you can unsubscribe anytime, we cannot retract emails already sent. If you have questions about withdrawing consent, please contact us using the details in the Contact Us section of this Privacy Policy.

Performance of a Contract or Transaction

We collect and use your personal information when it’s necessary to fulfill a contract or complete a transaction with you, or to take steps before entering into one. For example, if you purchase a product or service, we need your personal and payment details to process and deliver your order.

Our Legitimate Interests

We process your information where it’s essential for our legitimate business interests, such as providing, operating, improving, and communicating our services. This may include:

Compliance with Legal Obligations

In certain circumstances, we may be legally required to retain or disclose your personal information. This can include compliance with court orders, criminal investigations, government requests, or regulatory requirements. If you have questions about how we handle personal data for legal purposes, please contact us using the details in the Contact Us section.

Data Controller and Data Processor

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a data controller determines how personal information is processed, while a data processor acts on behalf of another organization. For all personal data you provide to us, Cookievolve operates as the data controller.

Data Storage and Security

We retain personal data only for as long as it’s necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal obligations. When no longer required, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized. We use commercially reasonable measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, theft, or misuse. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under this age.

International Data Transfers

Your personal information may be stored or processed in Australia, Singapore, or other locations where we or our service providers operate. These countries may have different data protection laws than your home country. Where required, we implement safeguards such as EU-approved Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure adequate protection for cross-border transfers.
