Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 19, 2026
The short version
The AutoYear software collects nothing. It runs inside your own website, reads the current date from your visitor’s browser, updates the year, and sends no data anywhere — no analytics, no phone-home, no cookies of its own.
1. Data the product processes
None. The plugin and snippet operate entirely client-side in the browser of your site’s visitors. They make no network requests to us and store no data.
2. Data this website processes
- Nothing you type: this site sets no cookies of its own, runs no analytics, and stores nothing in your browser. There is no account and no tracking script.
- The link from our email: if you arrived from an email we sent, the link may carry your website’s address, the copyright year we found on it, and your business name — visible to you in the address bar. Your browser uses them to show you that page; they are not sent back to us and not stored anywhere. They come from what is publicly visible on your own website. Open the plain address (yearalert.com) and none of it is carried over.
- Hosting logs: our host (Cloudflare) processes standard technical data (IP address, request time) to serve and protect the site, per Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
3. When you buy
Checkout and payment are handled by our payment processor (Merchant of Record). They collect the data needed to process your payment, calculate tax, and issue your invoice, under their own privacy policy. We receive your email address and order details so we can deliver the files and provide support — that’s all we use them for. We never see your card number.
4. When you email us
We keep support emails so we can help you and honor the money-back guarantee. We don’t add you to a newsletter and we don’t share your address with anyone.
5. Done-for-you installations
If you buy the installation service, we use the temporary access you grant only to install and verify AutoYear. We don’t copy, store, or process any data from your website, and we recommend revoking our access immediately after we confirm the fix.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live (GDPR in the EU/UK, LFPDPPP in Mexico, state laws in the US), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold (in practice: your order email and support correspondence). Email us and we’ll take care of it.
