Analytics
Purple Turtle Creative uses Google Analytics to track general website traffic and software usage information. The data is collected anonymously and cannot be traced back to specific visitors. Analytics tracking is used as minimally as possible to assess the reach and effectiveness of the writings and software offerings featured on Purple Turtle Creative. This information also helps Purple Turtle Creative identify system outages and failures so they can be resolved as quickly as possible. User and event data is retained for 14 months since the most recently recorded interaction.
WordPress Plugin Software
WordPress plugins authored and distributed by Purple Turtle Creative may include the ability for providing remote software updates. When a new version of the software package is released, users will be notified within their WordPress system where the Purple Turtle Creative plugin is installed. To reliably provide this service and understand the needs of the plugin’s users, Purple Turtle Creative tracks the website domain name (or hashed IP address), website language locale, installed WordPress version, installed plugin version, and PHP version of all remote update requests in Google Analytics.
WordPress plugins authored by Purple Turtle Creative that are distributed by another provider, such as WordPress.org or Freemius, are subject to that provider’s own privacy policy. Purple Turtle Creative does not impose additional custom analytics or data tracking in these circumstances.
Email Communications
Purple Turtle Creative uses Mailgun to securely transfer email messages from the purpleturtlecreative.com domain. Your correspondence with any email address @purpleturtlecreative.com may be logged within Mailgun’s system for monitoring email deliverability. Interactions with email messages may also be tracked within Mailgun such as email message open rates and link clicks.
Purple Turtle Creative also uses Mailgun to manage mailing lists. By submitting your email address through a “subscribe” or “newsletter” form on the Purple Turtle Creative website, you consent to having your email address added to the relevant mailing list within Purple Turtle Creative’s Mailgun account.

Contacts may request removal from mailing lists at any time by clicking “unsubscribe”.
Forms and Surveys
Purple Turtle Creative uses Google Forms to collect feedback, run polls and surveys, or as an alternative communication channel, such as receiving support requests, bug reports, or product reviews. Your Google account or manually-entered email address may be included with your submission if needed for follow-up correspondence or account verification purposes. Submitting to a Google Form is not required to receive service from or communicate with Purple Turtle Creative, and you may alternatively email your entry directly to [email protected] to avoid submitting the Google Form.
