Last Updated: May 6, 2025
1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Welcome to SchemaMarkupGenerator.net (hereinafter referred to as "Website", "we", "us", or "our"). We are dedicated to protecting the privacy and security of our users (hereinafter "you" or "your"). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Website and utilize our schema markup generation services (the "Services"). Please read this policy carefully. By using our Website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Our aim is to provide you with a secure and trustworthy environment to generate schema markup code effectively, while respecting your personal information.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways to provide and improve our Services:
2.1. Data You Provide Directly for Schema Generation
When you use our schema markup generator tools, you may input various pieces of information to create structured data. This information can include, but is not limited to:
- Business details (name, address, phone number, opening hours)
- Product information (name, description, price, availability)
- Event details (name, date, location)
- Personal details for "Person" schema (name, job title, affiliations)
- Article content (headline, author, publication date)
- FAQ content (questions and answers)
Crucially, the specific data you enter into our generator fields for the purpose of creating schema markup is processed in real-time to output the structured data code. We do not store, save, or log the specific content you input into the generator fields on our servers after your session or once the markup is generated and displayed to you. Its use is ephemeral and solely for the purpose of providing you with the requested schema code.
2.2. Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Usage Data)
Like many websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Website. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include:
- Log and Usage Data: Service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect. This may include your IP address (often anonymized or truncated), browser type and settings, operating system, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Website, and other technical information.
- Device Data: Information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Website.
- Interaction Data: Information about which tools or features you use on our Website and how frequently.
This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Website, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes to improve our Services.
2.3. Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy (if applicable, or briefly outlined here):
- Essential Cookies: Necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: Allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. (e.g., Google Analytics).
You can typically manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect or receive for the following purposes:
- To Provide and Maintain our Services: To operate our Website, including generating the schema markup code based on the data you provide in real-time.
- To Improve Our Website: To understand how our users interact with our Services, which features are popular, and to enhance user experience, functionality, and design.
- To Ensure Security and Prevent Fraud: To monitor for and prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and to enforce our terms.
- For Analytics and Performance Monitoring: To analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movements around the site, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
- To Respond to Legal Requests: If we receive a subpoena or other legal request, we may need to inspect the data we hold to determine how to respond.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
We are committed to not sharing the specific content you input into our generator fields. We may share aggregated and anonymized Usage Data under the following circumstances:
- With Service Providers: We may share Usage Data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work (e.g., website hosting, data analysis like Google Analytics). These third parties are obligated to protect your data.
- For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
- To Protect Rights and Property: We may disclose information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Information to third parties.
5. Security of Your Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect the Usage Data we collect. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the information we handle, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information, even though we strive to protect it.
As mentioned, the data you input into the generator fields is not stored by us, which inherently limits its exposure through our systems.
6. Data Retention
We will only keep your Usage Data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy (e.g., for analytics), unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
As stated, information entered into the schema generator fields is not retained by us beyond the immediate session required for generation.
7. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location (e.g., if you are in the European Economic Area - EEA, UK, or California), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:
- Request access to and obtain a copy of your personal information.
- Request rectification or erasure.
- Restrict the processing of your personal information.
- If applicable, data portability.
- Object to processing of your personal information.
Since we primarily collect anonymized Usage Data and do not store the content you input into the generator, exercising these rights would typically pertain to the Usage Data collected by our analytics providers. You can often manage cookie preferences through your browser or opt-out of certain analytics tracking directly via the provider's opt-out mechanisms (e.g., Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on).
If you wish to exercise any rights applicable to you, please contact us using the details below.
8. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold where applicable by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we will take steps to delete such information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child, please contact us.
9. Third-Party Websites
Our Website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by a "Last Updated" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We encourage you to review this privacy policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of the Website after any changes to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such changes.
