Privacy Policy

Effective August 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what SiteSpawners collects, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website, our checkout, our contact form, and the websites we rent to shops. It does not cover third-party sites we do not control.

01Who is responsible

SiteSpawners is the business that decides how personal information on this service is handled. Questions, access requests, and deletion requests go through our Contact page. We operate in the United States. If you use the service from elsewhere, you understand your information is processed in the U.S.

02Information we collect

We collect information you give us, including:

  • Name, business name, email, phone, and town
  • Type of work, service area, and notes about the shop
  • Photos, logos, copy, hours, and other materials for the site
  • Plan choice and billing status
  • Messages sent through the contact form

We also collect limited technical data when you visit: browser type, device, pages viewed, referring URL, approximate location derived from IP address, and timestamps. If we use cookies or similar storage, they remember a session, a demo order, or basic preferences so the site works.

03How we use it

We use this information to:

  • Spawn, host, and maintain your rented website
  • Process subscriptions, renewals, failures, and cancellations
  • Answer inquiries and provide support
  • Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
  • Improve the service and keep records we are required to keep
  • Send service messages about your order. If you opt in to SMS on the signup page, we may also text you as described in the Text messages section below. We will not sell your contact list or blast unrelated ads to it.

04Payments

Card payments are handled by a PCI-compliant third-party payment processor. We receive confirmation that a payment succeeded or failed, a truncated card brand/last-four if the processor provides it, and an amount and date. We do not store full card numbers, CVV codes, or magnetic-stripe data on our servers. The processor’s privacy terms apply to the card details you type into their form.

05When we share information

We share personal information only:

  • With vendors who help us run the service (hosting, email, payment processing, domain or DNS) under contracts that limit their use
  • If you ask us to (for example, connecting a form or map)
  • To comply with law, a valid legal request, or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the service
  • In a sale, merger, or transfer of the business, with notice where the law requires it

Content you ask us to publish on the rented site is public. Do not send us secrets you do not want on the internet.

06We do not sell personal information

We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If that ever changes, we will update this policy and, where the law requires, give you a way to opt out.

No mobile information will be shared by us with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties unless required by law. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

07Text messages (SMS)

No mobile information will be shared by us with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties unless required by law. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

If you check the box “Yes, I would like to receive text messages” next to your optional phone number on our signup page, you give SiteSpawners express written consent to send service and account text messages to that number. That includes setup, draft-ready notices, billing reminders, support, and other messages related to your website rental. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

Consent is not a condition of purchase or of renting a website. The checkbox is not pre-checked. You may still sign up and rent a site if you leave it unchecked.

Reply STOP to any message to opt out. Reply HELP for help. You can also opt out by contacting us through the Contact page or by calling the number on this site. After you opt out we will send a one-time confirmation and then stop promotional and service texts to that number, except texts the law still allows (for example, a legally required notice).

We keep a record of your opt-in (timestamp, phone number, and the language you agreed to) for compliance.

08Cookies and local storage

This site uses cookies and local storage that are needed for it to function: keeping a checkout session, remembering a completed demo order on your device, and basic security. We do not run a third-party advertising pixel on this marketing site. You can block cookies in your browser; some features (including checkout) may then fail.

09How long we keep it

We keep account, billing, and site-content records for as long as the rental is active and for a reasonable time after (generally up to seven years for tax and dispute records, shorter for routine messages). Demo checkout records stored only on your device stay until you clear them. When we no longer need information, we delete or de-identify it.

10Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including encrypted transport (HTTPS) and access limited to people who need it. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. You also have a duty to send us materials through the channels we provide and to tell us promptly if you think an account or payment method was misused.

11Your choices and rights

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold, or to export Your Content as described in the Terms of Service. Use the Contact page and tell us what you want. We will verify the request and respond in a reasonable time. We may keep information the law requires, and we cannot un-publish copies already indexed or saved by others.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy law (for example, to know, delete, or appeal a denial). We will not discriminate against you for exercising those rights. Authorized agents may submit a request with proof of authority.

12Children

This service is for adult business operators. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child gave us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

13Rented sites

A shop’s rented website includes a contact section with the shop’s phone, email, or other details we place for them. A contact form is only set up if the shop has its own domain. That shop is responsible for telling its own visitors how that information is used. Unless we agree in writing to act as a processor for a specific form, messages sent to the shop are the shop’s responsibility once delivered.

14Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Effective” date at the top will change. Material changes will be posted on this page. Continued use of the service after a posting means you accept the updated policy. If a change needs consent under the law, we will ask for it.
