SitePlot Media LLC ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Optin Plot WordPress plugin and associated services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our products and services.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data with transparency. This policy applies to all users of Optin Plot, including website owners who install the plugin and the visitors who submit information through opt-in forms created with our software.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted to our systems.

5. Third-Party Services

Our services may integrate with or use the following third-party services:

Payment Processing

Purchases are processed through Warrior Plus. Their privacy policy governs how they handle your payment information. We receive purchase confirmations but do not process or store payment card data.

Email Service Integrations

Optin Plot integrates with various email service providers (ESPs) including GetResponse, Mailchimp, ConvertKit, AWeber, ActiveCampaign, Sendinblue, and Beehiiv. When you connect your ESP:

SMTP Services

If you use integrated SMTP services (SendGrid, Mailgun, AWS SES, SMTP.com), your configuration is stored locally on your server. Emails are sent directly from your server to the SMTP provider.

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their policies when using these integrations.
