Last updated: April 2026

Overview

PluginMatch ("we", "our", "us") operates the website at PluginMatch.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

Information We Collect

Automatically Collected Data

When you visit PluginMatch, our web server and analytics tools automatically collect:

• IP address (anonymised where possible)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring URL (the page that sent you to us)
• Date and time of your visit

This data is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the site and to improve content and performance. It is not linked to your identity.

Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

• Analytics cookies — to measure traffic and page performance (e.g. Google Analytics or a privacy-friendly alternative). These are anonymised and do not track you across other websites.
• Functional cookies — to remember your preferences (e.g. theme settings) if applicable.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the site.

Information You Provide

If you contact us by email, we receive the information you include in that email (your email address, name, and message). We use this only to respond to your enquiry and do not add you to any mailing lists without explicit consent.

Third-Party Links

PluginMatch contains links to external websites, including WordPress.org plugin pages and plugin developer websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We recommend reading their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

Plugin Data

All plugin information displayed on PluginMatch is sourced from the public WordPress.org Plugins API. We do not collect or store personal data about plugin developers beyond what is publicly available in the API response (plugin author name, author URL).

Data Retention

Server logs are retained for a maximum of 90 days. Email correspondence is retained for up to 2 years.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR, CCPA, or other applicable laws to:

• Request access to any personal data we hold about you

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@PluginMatch.com.
