Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Digitalproductions ("we", "us", "our") publishes myths-versus-facts editorial content about software, digital tools, desktop applications, system utilities and productivity software at digitalproductions.top. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from visitors, why we collect it, how long we keep it and what rights you have over it. It applies to this website only.

1. Information We Collect

We aim to collect as little personal information as possible, consistent with running a reliable and secure website. The categories of information we may process include:

• Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, time spent on pages and general navigation patterns, collected automatically through server logs and analytics tools.
• Cookie and similar technology data: identifiers stored in cookies or local storage that support essential site functions and, where you consent, analytics. See our Cookie Policy for full detail.
• Correspondence data: if you email us at [email protected] or contact us through details on our Contact page, we receive your email address, name if provided, and the content of your message.
• No account data: this site does not offer user accounts, logins, comment sections or purchase functionality, so we do not collect passwords, payment details or order histories.

2. How We Use It

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain and secure the website, including detecting and preventing abuse, spam and technical faults.
• To understand, in aggregate, how visitors find and use our articles, so we can improve clarity, structure and coverage of topics such as antivirus myths, password manager misconceptions or software update myths.
• To respond to enquiries sent to our published support email.
• To comply with legal obligations, such as responding to lawful requests from public authorities.

We do not use your information for automated profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not sell personal information to third parties.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests: for essential site operation, security logging and aggregate analytics that help us maintain a useful, trustworthy publication, provided this does not override your rights and interests.
• Consent: for non-essential cookies and analytics technologies that require your opt-in, obtained through our cookie banner and manageable at any time via the 'Cookie settings' link in the footer.
• Legal obligation: where we must retain or disclose information to comply with applicable law.

4. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to support core functionality and, where permitted, to understand aggregate readership patterns. Cookies are grouped into essential, preference and analytics categories, each described with retention periods in our Cookie Policy. Analytics cookies are only set after you provide consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the ability to read our articles.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We may share limited data with:

• Hosting and infrastructure providers who store site data and logs on our behalf under contractual confidentiality and security obligations.
• Analytics providers who process aggregated or pseudonymised usage statistics to help us understand readership trends.
• Legal and regulatory bodies where disclosure is required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Digitalproductions, our readers or the public.

Any third party processing data on our behalf is bound by data processing terms consistent with the UK GDPR.

6. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

• Server and security logs: typically retained for 90 days, then automatically deleted or anonymised.
• Analytics data (where consent is given): retained in aggregated or pseudonymised form for up to 26 months.
• Cookie consent records: retained for up to 12 months to demonstrate compliance, then refreshed.
• Email correspondence sent to our support address: retained for up to 24 months to allow for follow-up, then deleted unless a longer period is required by law.

7. Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request erasure of your data in certain circumstances.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interests.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on consent, without affecting prior lawful processing.
• Request portability of data you have provided to us, where technically feasible.
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection, if you believe your rights have been infringed.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within one month, as required by law.

8. International Transfers

Some of our service providers, such as hosting or analytics infrastructure, may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection is maintained, such as relying on adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses recognised under UK data protection law.

9. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] so we can remove it.

10. Third-Party Links

Our articles may reference or link to external resources, tools or general information sources for context, such as further reading on topics discussed in our pieces on VPN privacy misunderstandings or cloud storage and backup myths. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements or other factors. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
