Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how [Your Website Name] (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and specifically how we handle data related to our Facebook auto-sharing functionality.
1. Information We Collect
- Information You Provide Directly: We collect information you provide directly to us when you use our website, such as when you contact us, subscribe to newsletters, or submit comments. This may include your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.
- Automatically Collected Information: When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visits. This information helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve their experience.
- Information Related to Facebook Auto-Sharing:
- Our website uses the “Therimonline Facebook Auto Share” plugin to automatically share your published posts to a designated Facebook Page.
- To enable this functionality, we require you to provide a Facebook Access Token and a Facebook Page ID within the plugin’s settings.
- We do not store your Facebook Access Token or Page ID on our servers in a publicly accessible manner. These credentials are stored securely within your WordPress website’s database, as per standard WordPress plugin practices, and are used solely for the purpose of authenticating with Facebook’s API to publish content on your behalf.
- When a post is shared, the plugin sends the post’s title, content (excerpt), featured image URL, and permalink to Facebook’s Graph API.
- The plugin also logs the status of sharing attempts (success/failure) and associated messages within your WordPress database for troubleshooting and record-keeping. This log includes the WordPress Post ID, sharing status, a timestamp, and a brief message.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:
- To operate and maintain our website.
- To provide and improve our services.
- To respond to your comments or inquiries.
- To send you updates or newsletters if you have subscribed.
- Specifically for Facebook Auto-Sharing: To programmatically publish your website’s posts to your designated Facebook Page, as configured by you. This process is initiated by the plugin using the credentials you provide.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties without your consent, except as described below:
- With Facebook: When you use the Facebook auto-sharing feature, certain post data (title, excerpt, image URL, permalink) is transmitted to Facebook’s Graph API for publication on your Facebook Page. Your Facebook Access Token is used for authentication during this process. Facebook’s own Privacy Policy governs how Facebook collects, uses, and protects data on its platform. We encourage you to review Facebook’s Privacy Policy.
- Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.
4. Data Security
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
5. Your Choices
