This policy explains what personal information Webtilly Online Solutions (“Webtilly”, “we”, “us”) collects through webtilly.com, why we collect it, who we share it with and what choices you have. Webtilly Online Solutions is a business registered in Kenya and is the data controller for the information described here.
The short version
- The numbers you type into a calculator are worked out in your browser. We do not receive them and we do not store them.
- We collect limited technical information about visits so we can run the site, keep it secure and see which tools are useful.
- If you email us, join our newsletter or buy a digital product, we collect what you give us for that purpose only.
- We do not sell your email address or contact details. Advertising partners may collect information through cookies, as described below.
- You can ask us about your information at any time at hello@webtilly.com.
What we collect, and why
Using a calculator
Webtilly calculators run in your browser. The values you enter are processed on your device and are not sent to our servers because you used a calculator. If a particular tool works differently, it will say so on the page.
Visiting the website
When you visit, we and our providers receive technical information such as your IP address, approximate location derived from it, browser and device type, operating system, the pages you view, the site you came from and the time of your visit. We use it to run and secure the site, fix problems and understand how the tools are used. We use two analytics services: Plausible, which does not use cookies and reports aggregated figures, and Google Analytics, which uses cookies and is only switched on where you have agreed to it, if the law requires your agreement. Our hosting provider keeps server logs, and our security tools record IP addresses involved in login attempts.
Our legal bases are our legitimate interest in operating and securing the site, and your consent where it is required, for example for analytics cookies.
Contacting us
If you email hello@webtilly.com or use a contact form, we use your name, email address and message to reply and to keep a record of the conversation. Our legal basis is your consent and our legitimate interest in answering you.
Our newsletter
If you subscribe, we use your email address (and your name, if you give it) to send the updates you asked for: new calculators, tools and resources, and offers related to Webtilly. We use Kit to manage the list. Our legal basis is your consent, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
Buying a digital product
Our free calculators need no payment and no account. If you buy a paid digital product, the purchase is handled by Paddle, which acts as the seller and merchant of record. Paddle collects your payment details and handles payment, tax and invoicing under its own privacy notice. We receive the order information we need to deliver the product and support you, such as your name, email address, country and what you bought. Our legal bases are performing the sale and meeting our legal and tax obligations.
Backups
We keep rolling backups of the website so we can recover from a failure. Backups may contain the personal information described in this policy. We keep them for seven days and then they are overwritten.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them in these categories:
| Category | What it does | Examples and lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps the site working, secure and remembers your cookie choices. | A WordPress setting that checks whether your browser can show emojis, kept only for your visit. A consent cookie from our cookie tool, CookieYes (its name begins “cookieyes-“), kept for 1 year; it remembers your choice and holds a random consent ID |
| Analytics | Shows us how the site is used. | Plausible sets no cookies. Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga (up to two years). Set only after you agree, where the law requires it. |
| Advertising | Lets ad partners show and measure ads. | Set by Google and its ad partners when ads are switched on, and only after you agree where the law requires it. |
| Affiliate and checkout | Records a referral, or runs the checkout. | Set by the relevant affiliate network, merchant or by Paddle at checkout. |
Where the law requires your agreement for non-essential cookies, we ask first through a cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some parts of the site may stop working. Some tools also use your browser’s local storage to remember settings on your device. You can clear it in your browser.
When you make a choice, our cookie tool, CookieYes, records it so that we can show that you chose. The record holds a random consent ID, the date and time, your choices and a shortened form of your IP address, with its last part removed. You can change your choice at any time with the cookie settings button on the site.
Advertising
When advertising is switched on, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your earlier visits to Webtilly or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies let Google and its partners show you ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings or at aboutads.info, and read more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Ads are kept away from the calculator and its result.
Affiliate links
Some pages may contain affiliate links, which are labelled. If you click one and then buy or sign up, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The affiliate network or merchant may use cookies to record the referral.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with providers that help us run Webtilly, and only what they need:
- Spaceship for web hosting, domain, DNS and email.
- Plausible Analytics and Google (Analytics, Search Console and Drive backups) for analytics, search reporting and backups.
- CookieYes for the cookie banner and the record of your cookie choices.
- Kit for the newsletter.
- Paddle for payments, tax and invoicing on paid products.
- Google and its advertising partners when advertising is switched on.
- Authorities, where the law, a court order or a valid legal request requires it.
Some of these providers act on our behalf, and some act independently under their own privacy notices.
Transfers outside your country
Our hosting and several of our providers operate outside Kenya, including in the United States. This means information about visitors, including visitors from Kenya, the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, may be processed in other countries. Where the law requires it, we rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses and the protections our providers offer, or on your consent.
How long we keep information
| Information | How long |
|---|---|
| Calculator entries | Not collected. |
| Analytics data | Plausible: aggregated only. Google Analytics: [retention period set in GA4]. |
| Cookie choices | In your browser for 1 year. CookieYes’s record of your choice: [retention period, to be confirmed with CookieYes] |
| Server logs and security logs | [Period set by the host and security plugin, to be confirmed.] |
| Emails you send us | Up to 12 months after our last contact, unless we need to keep them for a legal reason. |
| Newsletter subscription | Until you unsubscribe. |
| Order records | As long as tax and accounting law requires, which we expect to be up to five years in Kenya. |
| Website backups | Seven days. |
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect the information we hold, including secure connections, access controls and two-step sign-in on our admin accounts. No website or transmission is completely secure, so please do not send sensitive personal information by email or through site forms unless we ask for it through a secure process.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask us to give you a copy of your personal information, correct it, delete it, restrict or stop certain uses, move it to another service, or withdraw a consent you gave. You can unsubscribe from marketing at any time. Some rights have legal exceptions.
To make a request, email hello@webtilly.com. We will reply as soon as we can and within the time the law requires. We may need to confirm who you are first.
Complaints
Please contact us first at hello@webtilly.com so we can try to put things right. You can also complain to the regulator: in Kenya, the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner; if you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, your local data protection authority.
Children
Webtilly is not directed at children, and it is meant for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us information, email us and we will review it and delete it where appropriate.
Links to other websites
Webtilly links to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please read their policies when you leave.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. We will change the “Last updated” date at the top, and if a change significantly affects how we use your information, we will tell you in a clear way, such as a notice on the site or an email to subscribers.
