If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.

We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.

(e) Account

We collect data from you when you create an account, request information, subscribe for a service, participate in a survey, post a rating or review, post a question or answer, upload or build a template, use a tool or submit a form, upload content, or otherwise actively send us data on our site.

This may include, but is not limited to, your username, password, first and last name, email address, telephone number (including mobile phone number), street address, gender, occupation, interests, and any other data included in your account, user profile or tools you access. All of this information may be associated with your Autowriterpro profile and account.

We may collect the name you have associated with your device, device type, telephone number, country, and any other information you choose to provide, such as username, email address, or zip code.

Legal basis for collection of data

We collect and process your data on the basis of different legal grounds, depending on the nature of the data being provided and the type of processing involved.

(a) Performance of a Contract

Some of the data processed by us is performed on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you, or in order to take steps at the request of the user prior to entering such an agreement. 

(b) Legitimate Interest

It may be necessary to collect your data for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us. Examples of such legitimate interests will include where we send you marketing or updates about our products and services, where we believe you have a reasonable expectation that we will perform a particular type of processing on your behalf, where such processing is strictly necessary for fraud detection and prevention, or where we share your data with affiliates as detailed below. We will only rely on such a ground where an assessment has been performed balancing the interests and rights involved and the necessity of the processing in order to provide our services, products and features to you.

(c) Compliance with a Legal Obligation

For certain types of processing, it is necessary to collect your data in order to allow us to comply with a legal obligation. 

(d) Consent

We may also rely on your consent in order to collect data. Where we  require your consent, we seek it at the time of provision, and the processing will only be performed where consent is secured. For example, your consent will be sought in certain instances where you initiate a marketing message, when you sign up for an account or when you make a purchase. You can withdraw your consent where applicable, or by sending an email to support@autowriterpro.com.

How we store your data

We may also store data on our servers or equipment or on the servers or equipment of third parties that we has a relationship with. Such storage services will be governed by appropriate protections, as required by applicable rules.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
