Effective date: 12 October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how PlugPenny (“we”, “us”) collects, uses and shares information when you visit plugpenny.com/ (the “Site”), and the choices and rights you have. It applies to visitors in the United States, the United Kingdom and elsewhere.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The Site is operated by Daniel Moreno Terreros, Haro, La Rioja, Spain. For the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and, where it applies, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), we are the data controller. Contact us about privacy at danimanagement16@gmail.com.
2. Information we collect
Information collected automatically
- Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent, referring page and approximate location derived from your IP address.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files and identifiers stored on your device by us and by third parties such as Google (see section 5).
- Server logs: our hosting provider records technical requests to keep the Site secure and working.
Information you give us
- Messages: your name, email address and anything you write when you contact us.

Our calculators
The figures you type into our calculators are processed in your browser. We do not send them to our servers or store them. If you use the “Copy share link” feature, your inputs are encoded in the web address. Anyone you send the link to can see them, and our server logs may record that address when the link is opened.
3. How we use information and our legal bases
| Purpose | Legal basis (UK/EU GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Operating, securing and fixing the Site | Legitimate interests in running a safe, working website |
| Storing or reading non-essential cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies | Consent (you can withdraw it at any time) |

| Measuring audience and improving content | Consent |

4. Advertising on this Site (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Please note:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this Site or to other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info (US) or www.youronlinechoices.com (UK/EU).
- To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Visitors in the UK, the European Economic Area and Switzerland see a consent message, provided by a Google-certified consent management platform, before non-essential cookies are used for advertising or analytics. The full list of advertising partners is available in that message under “Manage options”.
5. Cookies and how to control them
| Type | What it does | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps the Site secure and remembers your consent choices | Consent preference cookies; security cookies set by our host or CDN |
| Analytics | Tells us which pages are read and how the Site performs | Google Analytics |
| Advertising | Shows ads, limits repetition, measures ad performance and, with consent, personalises ads | Google AdSense and its certified partners |
| Affiliate tracking | Records that you reached a retailer from our link so we can earn a commission | Set by the retailer (for example Amazon) after you click an affiliate link |
You can change your choices at any time using the “Privacy and cookie settings” link in the footer of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some parts of the Site may then work less well.
6. Who we share information with
- Service providers that host and protect the Site (Namecheap, Cloudflare), measure audiences (Google Analytics) and send email (if you subscribe).
- Advertising partners (Google and the partners listed in our consent message), as described in sections 4 and 5.
- Affiliate programs and retailers, which receive click and purchase information when you use an affiliate link.
- Authorities or advisers, when the law requires it or to protect our rights and users’ safety.
We do not sell your name, email address or messages to anyone.
7. International transfers
Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where UK or EU data protection law applies, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy regulations (including the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for certified companies), the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
8. How long we keep information
- Messages you send us: up to 24 months after our last exchange, unless we need them longer to handle a dispute.
- Analytics data: up to 14 months.
- Server logs: up to 90 days.
- Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe.
9. Your rights in the UK and EU
You have the right to access your personal data, correct it, have it erased, restrict or object to its use, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. To exercise these rights, email danimanagement16@gmail.com. We will reply within one month. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk) or to the data protection authority where you live or work.
10. Your rights in the United States (California and other states)
Depending on your state of residence, including California under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, you may have the right to:
- know what personal information we collect, use and disclose;
- access, correct and delete your personal information;

- not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
Categories we collect (last 12 months): identifiers (such as IP address and cookie IDs), internet activity (pages viewed and interactions), approximate geolocation, and, if you contact us, your name, email address and message. Sources: you, your device, and our advertising and analytics partners. Purposes: those listed in section 3. Recipients: those listed in section 6.
Sale and sharing: allowing advertising partners to use cookies for personalised ads may count as “selling” or “sharing” under some state laws.
