Privacy & Security

112dB takes the privacy and security of your personal data very seriously. We do not sell, transfer, or disclose personal data to any third party except when necessary to process a transaction or to comply with applicable laws or valid legal processes. We take all possible measures to keep your personal data secure.

Security

The 112dB website has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Nowhere we store your passwords unencrypted, your credit card information is not stored anywhere on our servers, and transactions are enacted using SSL encryption through PCI standard compliant gateway.

When purchasing online using your credit card, all of your information is entered into a SSL secure web page. Your information is then SSL-encrypted and sent directly to our credit card provider's network, where your card and transaction is authorized and approved. Your credit card information is not stored on our servers.

What information do we collect?

Before you purchase at our webstore we ask you to sign up for an account. The information that we ask you to fill in is your name, address, country, and email address. Filling in a company name and/or VAT number is optional. We ask for this information for several reasons. Your email address is necessary to send you the license you purchased. Because the license is tied to you personally, we ask for your name. We need your address and country to prove to our tax office that we pay our taxes correctly. The VAT we need to pay depends on the country of the customer. For obvious reasons we also keep records of all transactions.

If you access your account you can see exactly what information we have on you on file (although for convenience a few details have been left out, such as the exact time of purchase). You can change your personal details here as well. If you would like to remove your account entirely, we will remove it for you on request. This will not remove your information from our transaction records however. We are required by law to keep those for a minimum of ten years.

Newsletter

If you sign up for our newsletter we save your e-mail address to send you the newsletter. You receive the newsletter only if you have subscribed to it. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time. To do so, please click on the link at the end of every newsletter.

Update notifications

When you buy a plugin at our webstore we will ask you if you want to be notified of updates of the product. You can change this at any time in your account.
