Privacy Policy – Your Trust Matters to Us

Last updated: June 18, 2024

At BuildWithPros ApS (“we,” “us,” or “our”), your privacy and trust are at the heart of everything we do. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information when you use our services—whether you’re browsing BuildWithPros.com, shopping in our store, subscribing to a video, or joining us for an event.

We want you to feel informed, empowered, and safe. That’s why we’ve made this policy clear, straightforward, and easy to understand—so you know exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and what your choices are.

If you have any questions at all after reading this, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out anytime at info@buildwithpros.com.

A Quick Summary – What You Should Know

We know legal documents can get long, so here are the highlights:

  • What do we collect? We may collect personal info like your name, email, address, and payment details when you interact with us. 

  • Do we collect sensitive info? No—we don’t collect sensitive personal data like health or biometric information.

  • Do we get info from others? Sometimes, yes—like if you’ve interacted with our partners or we use public sources. 

  • How do we use your data? Mostly to provide and improve your experience, process orders, and keep things secure. 

  • Do we share your data? Only when necessary—like for payments or legal requirements. 

  • How do we protect your info? With a combination of secure technologies and best practices. 

  • What are your rights? You may have the right to access, update, or delete your information—depending on where you live. 

We encourage you to read the full Privacy Policy to understand all your rights and how we protect your information. If anything ever feels unclear, we’re here to help.

1. What Information Do We Collect?

Personal Information You Choose to Share With Us

In short: We collect the information you give us directly.

When you reach out, place an order, create an account, or just explore what we offer, you might share personal details with us. This is entirely voluntary—and always handled with care.

The information you may provide includes:

  • Your name

  • Email address

  • Username

  • Phone number

  • Billing and mailing address

  • Contact preferences

We only ask for the information necessary to provide you with a smooth and secure experience—and we use it only for the purposes you’d expect.

Important: Please make sure any information you provide is accurate and up to date. If your details change, we’d appreciate it if you let us know.

Payment Information

When you make a purchase, we securely process the payment using trusted third-party providers. That may involve collecting:

  • Your card or payment method number

  • Security or verification codes tied to your payment method

We don’t store your full payment details ourselves. All payment data is handled through secure platforms:

Information We Collect Automatically

In short: We collect some basic technical info when you visit our site.

Just like most websites, we automatically collect certain details about your visit to help improve security, performance, and your user experience. This info doesn’t personally identify you but may include:

  • Your IP address

  • Browser type and settings

  • Device info (e.g., model, operating system, language)

  • Pages visited and actions taken

  • Time stamps and referral sources

This data helps us understand how our services are being used—and how we can make them better.

We also use cookies and similar technologies for things like remembering your preferences and analyzing traffic. You can learn more in our Cookie Notice.

Types of Automatically Collected Data:

  • Log and Usage Data: Diagnostic information such as which pages you visit, features you use, and when you visit.

  • Device Data: Info about your device, including IP address, browser type, and system configuration.

  • Location Data: We may collect location data based on your IP address or device settings. You can always choose to disable location access in your browser or device settings.

Information From Other Sources

In short: Occasionally, we gather additional information from trusted third parties.

To better tailor our services, marketing, or communication, we may receive information about you from public databases, marketing partners, social media, or affiliate programs. This can include:

  • Updated contact information

  • Professional titles

  • Social media links

  • Browsing intent or behavior (used for advertising or promotions)

This helps us keep our records current and offer more relevant content to you.

3. What Legal Bases Do We Rely On to Process Your Information?

In short: We only process your personal data when we have a valid legal reason to do so.

We respect your privacy and follow the law. Depending on where you live, especially if you’re in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Canada, we rely on specific legal bases to collect and use your data.

Here’s what that means:

If You’re in the EU or UK

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we may rely on the following legal grounds:

  • Consent: You’ve given us permission to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw that consent at any time.

  • Contract: We need your data to carry out a contract with you, such as processing an order or giving you access to your account.

  • Legitimate Interests: We may process your information for our business needs, as long as it doesn’t override your fundamental rights. This could include:

    • Sending you offers and discounts

    • Customizing advertising and website content

    • Understanding how our services are used so we can improve them

    • Preventing fraud and keeping the site secure

  • Legal Obligation: Sometimes, we’re legally required to use your information—for example, to comply with tax laws or respond to law enforcement requests.

  • Vital Interests: If we believe it’s necessary to protect your life or someone else’s safety, we may process your information.

If You’re in Canada

Canadian privacy law allows us to collect and process personal information if:

  • You’ve given us explicit consent, or

  • It’s reasonable to assume implied consent, based on your actions

There are also some special cases where we may use your data without consent, including:

  • To protect someone in danger

  • For investigations or fraud prevention

  • When required by law or a court order

  • If the data is already public or part of a journalistic or research activity

We’ll never process your personal information without a clear, legal purpose—and we’ll always respect your rights.

4. When and With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?

In short: We only share your personal data when it’s necessary—and always for a clear and legitimate reason.

Your information is never sold or shared lightly. We may disclose your personal information in specific situations, always with the goal of fulfilling a service, complying with legal obligations, or protecting your rights.

Here are the main scenarios:

Business Transfers

If our business is ever involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, financing round, or similar transition, your personal information may be part of that process. In such cases, we’ll take reasonable steps to ensure your data is handled respectfully and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

With Trusted Service Providers

We work with a few third-party providers to help us deliver our services. These might include:

  • Payment processors (like Stripe or PayPal)

  • Hosting and security services

  • Email marketing or analytics platforms

These partners only receive the information they need to perform their specific function—and they’re contractually obligated to protect it.

We do not share your personal information for advertising purposes unless you’ve given us explicit consent, and we never sell your data to third parties.

If anything changes, we’ll update this policy and let you know.

5. Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?

In short: Yes, we use cookies and similar tools—but only to improve your experience, keep our site running smoothly, and help us understand what’s working.

Cookies and tracking technologies are standard tools used by most websites today. At BuildWithPros.com, we use them for things like:

  • Remembering your preferences

  • Keeping your session secure

  • Understanding how our site is used

  • Delivering relevant content

  • Measuring performance and fixing bugs

We also allow certain trusted third parties—like analytics or advertising partners—to use cookies on our site. These tools help us better understand how visitors engage with our services and how to improve them over time.

You can learn more about the specific cookies we use and how to manage them in our Cookie Notice.

What About Advertising or Remarketing?

Some tracking tools may tailor ads or content to your interests, based on how you’ve used our site in the past. You can opt out of this kind of tracking by adjusting your cookie settings or following the opt-out links in our Cookie Notice.

In some states, this type of tracking may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. If you live in one of those states, you can opt out of these features by following the steps described under Your Privacy Rights.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to better understand how people use our site. This may include features like remarketing or traffic reports. If you want to prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data, you can opt out using this tool: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

For more information, please see the Google Privacy & Terms.

Cookies help us serve you better—but how much you share is always up to you. Most browsers let you control or disable cookies in the settings.

6. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

In short: We only keep your information for as long as we genuinely need it—and never longer than necessary.

We store your personal data just long enough to fulfill the purpose it was collected for, whether that’s completing an order, maintaining your account, or meeting legal obligations (like tax or accounting rules).

Here’s how we approach data retention:

  • If you have an account with us, we’ll keep your information while the account is active.

  • Once we no longer need the data—for example, after a canceled subscription or completed order—we’ll delete it or anonymize it.

  • In some cases, we may need to keep certain records for a longer period due to legal requirements, such as bookkeeping laws.

What Happens When We No Longer Need Your Data?

If your data is no longer needed for any business, legal, or technical reason, we’ll either:

  • Securely delete it, or

  • Anonymize it, so it can no longer be linked to you

If your information is stored in a backup or archive system that can’t be immediately edited, we’ll isolate it until it can be safely deleted.

We take data retention seriously and never hold on to your information without purpose. Everything we store is kept for a reason—and when that reason no longer applies, we let it go.

7. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

In short: We use a combination of technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information.

Protecting your personal data is a responsibility we take seriously. We’ve put security measures in place to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure of your information.

These measures include:

  • Secure servers and encrypted connections

  • Access controls and authentication protocols

  • Ongoing monitoring and threat detection

  • Industry-standard security tools and practices

But No System Is Perfect

While we do everything reasonably possible to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure. Because of this, we can’t guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access—such as hacking or cybercrime.

That said, we regularly review and update our security practices to adapt to new threats and to keep your data as safe as possible.

What You Can Do

To help us keep your data secure:

  • Use strong, unique passwords for your account

  • Don’t share your login credentials with others

  • Always log out when using shared devices

  • Contact us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account

Your trust means everything to us. We’ll continue to improve our security efforts to keep your data protected and your experience worry-free.

8. Do We Collect Information from Minors?

In short: No. Our services are designed for adults, and we don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 18.

We care about protecting children’s privacy. That’s why we do not knowingly collect, use, or share personal information from individuals under 18 years old. Our site, services, and products are intended for adults only.

If You’re a Parent or Guardian

If you believe that your child has provided personal information to us—accidentally or otherwise—please contact us at info@buildwithpros.com. We’ll take immediate steps to investigate and delete the data if needed.

If we become aware that we’ve unintentionally collected personal information from someone under 18, we will:

  • Deactivate the account

  • Remove any associated personal information from our records

  • Take steps to prevent further data collection from that individual

By using our services, you confirm that you’re at least 18 years old or acting with permission as a parent or guardian.

9. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

In short: Depending on where you live, you may have important rights when it comes to your personal information—and we fully support your ability to exercise them.

Privacy laws in different regions give you control over how your personal data is collected and used. Whether you’re in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, or certain U.S. states, you may have the right to:

Your Rights May Include:

  • Accessing your information – Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you

  • Correcting your data – Ask us to fix inaccurate or incomplete information

  • Deleting your data – Request deletion of your personal information in certain cases

  • Restricting use – Limit how we use your data under specific conditions

  • Data portability – Receive your data in a format you can share with another service

  • Objecting to processing – Say no to certain uses, such as targeted marketing

  • Avoiding automated decisions – Choose not to be subject to decisions made solely by algorithms (where applicable)

How to Exercise These Rights

To request access, updates, or deletion of your personal information, simply contact us at info@buildwithpros.com. We’ll respond in accordance with the privacy laws that apply in your region.

You can also log into your account at any time to update or correct your personal details.

Unsubscribing from Marketing

If you’ve signed up to hear from us and change your mind, you can unsubscribe at any time:

You’ll still receive important service emails about your account or purchases.

Regional Considerations

  • EEA or UK: You can also contact your local data protection authority if you have concerns.

  • Switzerland: You may reach out to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

  • Canada: Both express and implied consent may apply, depending on how your data was collected.

  • U.S. residents: See Section 11 for additional rights based on your state.

Your privacy matters to us—and we’re committed to making it easy for you to understand and control how your information is handled.

10. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

In short: While we respect your preferences, there’s currently no consistent standard for how to respond to Do-Not-Track (DNT) signals—and we follow industry guidance accordingly.

Some browsers and mobile devices offer a “Do-Not-Track” (DNT) setting you can enable to let websites know you prefer not to be tracked across the web. We want to be transparent: at this time, there is no universal agreement on how websites should respond to these signals.

Because of this, we currently do not respond to DNT signals from browsers or devices.

What Happens If a Standard Is Established?

If an official industry or legal standard for honoring DNT signals is adopted in the future, we will update this section—and our practices—to reflect that.

For California Residents

California law requires us to tell you how we respond to DNT signals. As of now, because no standard exists, we do not respond to DNT settings or signals sent by browsers.

Your privacy settings still matter to us. You can always control how cookies and tracking technologies are used on our site by visiting our Cookie Policy.

11. Do United States Residents Have Specific Privacy Rights?

In short: Yes. If you live in certain U.S. states, you may have enhanced rights under local privacy laws. We respect those rights and make it easy for you to exercise them.

Residents of states such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Virginia, and others may be entitled to request access to their personal data, make corrections, ask for deletion, or limit how it’s shared or used.

Verifying Your Identity

If we can’t verify your identity using existing account data, we may ask for additional information for security and fraud-prevention purposes.

Right to Appeal

If you make a privacy request and we deny it, you may have the right to appeal. To do so, email us at info@buildwithpros.com and include “Privacy Appeal” in your subject line.
