This Privacy Policy explains how WinAddons (“WinAddons”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit winaddons.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Last updated: 30th May 2026

Information we collect

We collect two kinds of information:

Information you give us. When you email us at support@winaddons.com, sign up for our newsletter, or leave a comment, you may share details such as your name and email address. We only receive what you choose to send.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically gather basic technical data when you browse the Site. This can include your IP address, browser type, device and operating system, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the site you came from. This data is collected through cookies and similar technologies and helps us understand how the Site is used.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
Respond to your emails, questions, and requests.
Send our newsletter or updates, if you have signed up for them.
Understand how visitors use the Site so we can make it better.
Display relevant content and advertising.
Keep the Site secure and prevent abuse.
Comply with legal obligations.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and remember your preferences. We and our partners use cookies to keep the Site working properly, remember your settings, measure traffic, and serve advertising.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when one is being sent. Please note that some parts of the Site may not work as intended if you disable cookies.

Analytics

We use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with the Site. These services use cookies to collect information such as the pages you view and how long you stay, in a form that does not directly identify you. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising

We display advertising to help keep the Site free. We may work with third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, who use cookies and similar technologies to show ads.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to the Site or other sites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings, and you can learn more about your choices at the industry opt-out pages run by the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative.

Affiliate links

Some articles on the Site contain affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps support our work. We only recommend products and tools we believe are worth your time, and affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial opinions.

Newsletter and emails

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address only to send you the updates you signed up for. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. We do not sell or rent your email address to anyone.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in these limited situations:

Service providers. We work with trusted third parties (for example, analytics, advertising, email, and hosting providers) who process data on our behalf.
Legal reasons. We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of WinAddons, our users, or others.
Business transfers. If the Site is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete the data we hold about you, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the GDPR. If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information we collect and the right to opt out of its sale (note that we do not sell personal information).

To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@winaddons.com and we will respond as required by law.

Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@winaddons.com and we will delete it.

Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect against loss, theft, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party links

The Site contains links to other websites that we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes may be highlighted on the Site. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
