Privacy Policy

Effective date:

This Privacy Policy explains how The Obvious Builder (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use our website and services (the “Service”).

For terms governing use, see Terms of Service.

1. Information we collect

A) Account and profile information

When you create an account, we may collect information such as your name, email address, authentication data, workspace settings, and plan status.

B) Content you create or upload

We collect and store content you submit to the Service, including pages, templates, CMS entries, images/files you upload, and configuration such as domains and routing.

C) Payment information

If you purchase a subscription, payments are typically processed by a third-party provider. We receive limited payment-related data (e.g., subscription status, plan, and billing events), but we do not store full card details on our servers.

D) Usage and device data

We may collect data about how you use the Service, such as pages visited, actions taken in the editor, IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and approximate location derived from IP.

E) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, session management, preferences, security, and analytics.

2. How we use information

  • Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service (including editor, CMS, publishing).
  • Authenticate users, secure accounts, prevent abuse, and enforce our Terms.
  • Process subscriptions, manage billing state, and provide support.
  • Analyze usage to improve performance, reliability, and product decisions.
  • Communicate service-related messages (e.g., updates, security notices, billing notices).

3. How we share information

We may share information in limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: vendors that help us run the Service (hosting, storage/CDN, analytics, payment processing, customer support).
  • Legal and safety: to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights, prevent fraud or abuse, or ensure safety.
  • Business transfers: if we’re involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Public content and publishing

If you publish a site or make templates public, that content may be accessible to anyone and indexed by search engines. You control what you publish and what you keep private.

5. Data retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention can vary depending on the data type and plan status.

6. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

7. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing.

To make a request, contact us at contact@theobviousbuilder.com.

8. International transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

9. Children’s privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice. The effective date above indicates when this policy was last updated.
