Privacy Policy - Data Studio Guru

Last update: March 8, 2024

In short

We take a privacy-first approach to information collection and prefer to collect as little information as possible about our website visitors and customers. We will never sell, rent or trade any information we collect about our users and customers.

We only collect the relevant details required to facilitate the transaction of our sales, to provide after-sales support when requested and to keep subscribed customers updated with product and promotional updates like new templates and discounts. We collect anonymised usage statistics, handled by our privacy-friendly analytics provider, Piwik PRO (https://piwik.pro/).
