Users of the WP Paintbrush theme and plugins
The WP Paintbrush theme and plugin(s) may connect to external servers to handle information processing. For example, the WP Paintbrush theme itself needs to connect to WPPaintbrush.com to process CSS for use within an individual site making use of the theme. This connection only occurs during the site editing process and does not occur for regular site vistiors (only administrators). We promise not to store any personally identifying information via these external connections, but may store statistics and information for future use. Statistics may also be collated and published publicly, but no individual site information will be released.
Visitors to WPPaintbrush.com
Like most website operators, WP Paintbrush collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. WP Paintbrush’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how WP Paintbrush’s visitors use its website. From time to time, WP Paintbrush may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
WP Paintbrush also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WPPaintbrush.com. WP Paintbrush only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that site commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to WPPaintbrush.com choose to interact with WP Paintbrush in ways that require WPPaintbrush.com to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that WPPaintbrush.com gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with WPPaintbrush.com are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, WPPaintbrush.com collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WPPaintbrush.com. WPPaintbrush.com does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
WPPaintbrush.com may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to WPPaintbrush.com. For instance, WPPaintbrush.commay screen comments with various tools to help identify spam. WPPaintbrush.com may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, WPPaintbrush.com does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

If you are a registered user of WPPaintbrush.com and have supplied your email address, WPPaintbrush.com may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with WPPaintbrush.com and our products. We primarily use our various product sites to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. WPPaintbrush.com takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
