Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This policy explains what information FreeInvoiceTemplates.co ("we", "us") collects when you visit freeinvoicetemplates.co (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have.
Who we are
FreeInvoiceTemplates.co is an independent website operated from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. You can reach us at [email protected].
Information we collect
Information you give us
The Site has no user accounts or forms. If you email us, we keep your email address and the content of your message so that we can reply.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect:
- Usage data: pages viewed, links clicked, date and time, referring page, and time spent on the Site.
- Device data: IP address, browser type, operating system, language, and screen size.
- Cookies and similar identifiers, described below.
Template downloads
Downloading a template does not require registration. Downloads are served from our content delivery network, which logs the request (IP address, file, and time) for security and performance. Google Docs and Google Sheets templates open on Google, whose privacy policy applies from that point.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. We use cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) to:
- Analytics: understand how the Site is used and improve it. We use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
- Advertising: show advertisements and measure their performance, as described below.
- Attribution: if you arrive at the Site with a click identifier in the URL, we may pass it to Invoicer.ai when you click one of its links so that it knows where the visit came from.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The Site will still work and you can still download templates.
Advertising
The Site is funded by advertising. This includes links marked Ad that lead to Invoicer.ai, and may include advertisements served by third parties such as Google AdSense.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and opt out of other third-party vendors' cookies at www.aboutads.info or www.youronlinechoices.eu.
- Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
If you visit the Site from a region that requires consent for advertising cookies, you will see a consent notice before those cookies are set.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its templates.
- To measure traffic and understand which content is useful.
- To display and measure advertising.
- To respond to your messages.
- To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security issues.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:
- Service providers that help us run the Site: hosting and content delivery (Cloudflare), analytics (Google), and advertising (Google and the advertisers participating in its network).
- Invoicer.ai, limited to the click identifier described above, when you click one of its links.
- Authorities, where required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of users.
International transfers
Our providers may process data in Canada, the United States, and other countries. By using the Site you consent to this transfer. Our providers apply appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law.
Retention
Analytics and advertising data are retained for the periods set by the respective providers (by default, Google Analytics retains user-level data for up to 14 months). Emails are kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, to object to its processing, or to withdraw consent. This includes rights under Canada's PIPEDA, the EU GDPR, and the California CCPA. To exercise them, email [email protected]. Because we do not sell personal information, no CCPA "do not sell" request is necessary.
Children
The Site is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
The Site links to third-party websites such as Invoicer.ai and Google. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read their policies.
Changes to this policy
