Privacy Policy
Last updated 2026-07-20
DRAFT — review pending. This document is a working draft and has not yet been reviewed or finalised. It does not yet constitute the final, binding policy.
1. Data controller
This Privacy Policy explains how Web Continental s.r.o., trading as WP Dreams (“we”, “us”, “our”), collects, uses, and protects your personal data. We are the data controller responsible for the personal data processed through the DriftSync and DriftSync Pro WordPress plugins, DriftSync Cloud, and the website driftsyncwp.com (together, the “Services”).
Web Continental s.r.o., Hlavná 31, Marcelová, Slovakia 94632 · EU-VAT SK2120186948 · Nitra Companies Registry 40034/N. For any privacy question or request, contact [email protected]. Full company details are on our legal information page.
2. Definitions
In this policy:
- GDPR means Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation.
- Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
- Processing means any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, storage, use, or deletion.
- Services means the DriftSync plugins, DriftSync Cloud, and driftsyncwp.com, as defined above.
3. The free plugin is local-only
The free DriftSync plugin runs entirely on your own server. It makes no external network requests, contains no analytics or telemetry, and sends no data — not your configuration, not your site address, nothing — anywhere. There is no account to create and no cloud to connect to. Bundles you export stay on the machines you put them on. This section describes a deliberate design choice, not a promise we might quietly change: privacy is a property of how the free plugin is built.
The rest of this policy therefore applies to the parts of the Services that do involve us: DriftSync Cloud, DriftSync Pro licensing, and the driftsyncwp.com website.
4. The personal data we collect
We collect personal data in three ways.
a. Information you provide to us
- Cloud accounts: when you create a DriftSync Cloud account we store your email address and display name.
- Purchases: when you buy DriftSync Pro, your order and billing details are collected and processed by Paddle as merchant of record (see “Payments” below). We receive your name, email, country, and the licence purchased (never your full payment-card details).
- Newsletter: if you subscribe, we store your email address to send product news and updates.
- Support and contact: when you contact us we store the information you send, such as your name, email address, and message.
b. Information collected automatically
- When you visit driftsyncwp.com, our servers and infrastructure providers may log technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring pages, and the dates and times of requests.
- We and our analytics provider (Google Analytics) set cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and measure how the site is used. See “Cookies and tracking” below.
c. Information from the plugins
- The free DriftSync plugin makes no network requests and sends no data anywhere — see section 3 above.
- With a DriftSync Pro licence, requests to our licensing server include your site's hostname and the plugin version and edition, used to validate the licence and count activations against the number of sites your plan allows.
- If you connect DriftSync Pro to DriftSync Cloud, the bundles, snapshots and library items you choose to sync are transmitted to and stored in the Cloud so your team can share them. You control what is shared, and secrets and site-specific URLs can be withheld before anything leaves a site.
5. How we use your data, and our legal bases
We process personal data for the following purposes, relying on the legal bases noted:
- To provide the Services and your account: performance of our contract with you.
- To process purchases, licences, and renewals: performance of a contract (handled together with Paddle).
- To provide support and respond to enquiries: performance of a contract and our legitimate interest in helping users.
- To send service messages (licensing changes, renewals, security and terms updates): legitimate interest and legal obligation.
- To send marketing emails and newsletters: your consent, which you may withdraw at any time via the unsubscribe link.
- To measure and improve the Services through analytics: your consent, where required, or our legitimate interest.
- To comply with legal, accounting, and tax obligations: compliance with a legal obligation.
We do not sell your personal data to anyone.
6. Cookies and tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies on driftsyncwp.com. They fall into these categories:
- Essential cookies needed for the site to function and to remember your privacy choices.
- Preference cookies that remember settings such as your theme or display options.
- Analytics cookies, including Google Analytics, that help us understand how visitors use the site.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies are set only after you consent. You can withdraw consent or block and delete cookies at any time through your browser settings; most browsers explain how in their help pages. Disabling some cookies may affect how the site works.
7. Payments
DriftSync Pro purchases are processed by Paddle. Paddle.com Market Ltd acts as the merchant of record and processes your payment, billing, and applicable taxes. We never receive or store your full payment-card details. Paddle's handling of your data is governed by Paddle's privacy policy.
8. Third-party service providers
We share personal data with the following categories of processors only as needed to run the Services, under agreements that require them to protect your data:
- Paddle: payment processing and merchant of record for purchases.
- Google Analytics: website analytics to measure how the site is used.
- Email delivery provider: delivery of newsletters and product emails.
9. International transfers
Some of our providers process data outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognised under the GDPR (such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision) to protect your personal data.
10. Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here. Cloud account data is retained until you delete your account. Records relating to purchases, invoicing, and tax are retained for the periods required by Slovak law (generally between 4 and 10 years). Analytics and marketing data are retained according to the relevant provider's settings and your consent.
11. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- request rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- request erasure of your data (the “right to be forgotten”);
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- receive your data in a portable format; and
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We respond within 30 days and free of charge. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority: in Slovakia, the Office for Personal Data Protection (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky).
12. Data security and breach notification
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. No system is perfectly secure, but if a personal data breach is likely to affect your rights, we will notify the competent supervisory authority (and affected users where required) within 72 hours of becoming aware of it.
13. Children's privacy
The Services are intended for professional and adult users and are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date, and where appropriate we will notify you. The free plugin remains local-only, and any change to what a plugin sends will always remain under your control.
15. Contact
Questions about this policy or your personal data: contact Web Continental s.r.o. (WP Dreams) at [email protected] or through the contact page.
