Privacy Policy

This policy describes how WPArena handles information when you use wparena.com, including the headless frontend and the WordPress site that publishes the content.

Who we are

WPArena is an independent WordPress publication at wparena.com. The public site is a headless frontend. Content and forms are stored in WordPress hosted at Kinsta. For questions, use the contact page or email admin at wparena.com.

Information we collect

• Server logs. Hosting and the frontend may record IP address, browser type, date, and requested URL to operate and secure the site.
• Forms you submit. Contact, deal submissions, and similar forms store the fields you send, including name, email, and message content.
• Accounts. If you create or use a WPArena account, we store the details needed to sign you in and save preferences such as a reading list.
• Comments. If comments are open, we store the comment, the name and email you provide, and technical data used to prevent spam.

Cookies

Cookies and similar storage may be used to keep a session signed in, remember a display preference such as dark mode, measure aggregated traffic, or deliver advertising from partners. You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Some features will then stop working. We do not invent a separate cookie-control product on top of your browser settings.

Third parties that may set cookies when their scripts load include advertising and affiliate networks. WPArena does not control those third-party cookies. Review the partner’s policy if you want their opt-out tools. Google’s advertising information is published at Google advertising policies.

How we use information

We use the information above to publish the site, reply to messages, prevent abuse, measure which guides are useful, and operate affiliate or advertising relationships that help fund the publication. We do not sell a standalone marketing list of readers.

Sharing

Hosting, email, payment, analytics, and advertising vendors process data on our behalf or when you click through to them. Payment for a submitted seasonal deal is handled by the payment provider, not by a WPArena card form on the frontend. Law enforcement requests are handled when legally required.

Retention

Logs are kept only as long as needed for security and operations. Form entries and account data stay until you ask us to remove them or we no longer need them to provide the service, subject to legal holds.

Your requests

You can ask what we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, through the contact page. We may need to verify the request. Jurisdiction is not listed here as a specific country of incorporation; we handle requests in good faith under applicable law.

Children

The site is written for adults who run WordPress sites. It is not directed at children.

Changes

When this policy changes in a material way, we will update this page and the date above.
