Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [April 18, 2026]

This Privacy Policy explains how Robert Lee/Cheerful Media (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our website, web applications, and WordPress plugins (collectively, the “Services”).

This policy applies to:

  • Plugins: CheerfulAI Affiliate and any future WordPress plugins we develop.

  • Web Applications: Web App 1, AI-Powered Website Grader, Web App 2, Review Response Generator, Web App 3, AI Prompt Generator.

1. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide to Us

  • Account & Contact Data: When you purchase a plugin, register for an account, or contact support, we collect your name, email address, and communication history.

  • Web App Input Data: When using our web applications, we collect the URLs, text prompts, or review content you submit to generate responses or grades.

B. Information Collected Automatically via Plugins (Freemius) Our premium WordPress plugins are integrated with Freemius, our merchant of record and licensing partner. If you opt-in to tracking upon plugin activation, Freemius collects:

  • Site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, and plugin version.

  • Admin email address and name (for licensing and support).

  • Server environment details (to help us troubleshoot bugs).

  • Note: You can opt-out of diagnostic tracking, but licensing validation data is required to use premium features.

C. Financial Information We do not directly process or store your credit card information. All payments for our plugins or premium web apps are processed securely by third-party payment processors (such as Freemius, Stripe, or PayPal).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our Services.

  • Process transactions and verify active software licenses.

  • Generate the AI content you request via our web apps.

  • Provide customer support and technical troubleshooting.

  • Send you administrative emails, updates, and security alerts.

3. Third-Party API Integrations (Bring Your Own Key)

Our plugins (such as [Plugin Name]) utilize a “Bring Your Own Key” (BYOK) architecture.

  • Your Keys, Your Data: You enter your own API keys for services like OpenAI, Anthropic, ScrapingBee, or ScraperAPI directly into your WordPress dashboard.

  • No Interception: We do not intercept, store, or route your API keys or the data generated through them on our servers. The plugin communicates directly from your WordPress server to the third-party API.

  • When using our Web Apps, your inputs may be sent to third-party AI providers (like OpenAI) to generate results. We do not use your personal data to train these AI models.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We only share data with:

  • Service Providers: Such as Freemius (for plugin licensing), hosting providers, and customer support platforms.

  • Legal Compliance: If required by law, subpoena, or other legal processes.

5. Your Data Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California, PIPEDA in Canada), you may have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information. To exercise these rights, or to request the deletion of your web app input data, please contact us at [Your Contact Email].

Terms of Use

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

By downloading, installing, or using any of the Services provided by [Your Company Name/Cheerful Media], you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use.

1. License & Acceptable Use

  • Plugins: Our WordPress plugins are licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2 or later. However, premium features, automatic updates, and support require an active, paid license key managed via Freemius.

  • Web Apps: You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our web applications for their intended purposes.

  • Restrictions: You may not use our Services to generate illegal, harmful, or abusive content. You may not attempt to reverse-engineer, overload, or maliciously scrape our web applications.

2. User Responsibilities & “Bring Your Own Key” (BYOK)

For plugins that require third-party API keys (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, ScraperAPI):

  • Financial Responsibility: You are solely responsible for managing your own API accounts and paying any usage fees incurred by your API providers. We are not liable for unexpected API costs or rate limits.

  • API Terms of Service: You agree to abide by the Terms of Service of the third-party APIs you connect to our plugins.

3. Affiliate Compliance & Third-Party Platforms (Amazon)

Plugins such as [Plugin Name] are tools designed to format and generate content.

  • Amazon Associates: We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon. You are strictly responsible for ensuring your use of our plugin complies with the Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement.

  • Account Bans: We are not responsible or liable if your Amazon Associates account (or any other affiliate account) is suspended, terminated, or penalized for any reason, including but not limited to how you scrape data or display affiliate disclosures.

4. Intellectual Property

  • Generated Content: You retain ownership of the content generated using our Services. However, because AI engines generate the content, we cannot guarantee that the output is entirely unique or free from copyright claims by third parties.

  • Our IP: We retain all ownership rights to the code, design, and branding of our plugins and web applications.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties (“As Is”)

Our Services are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind.

  • Uptime & Accuracy: We do not guarantee that our web apps will always be available or that the AI-generated content will be 100% accurate, reliable, or error-free.

  • Third-Party Changes: Web scraping plugins rely on the structure of third-party websites (like Amazon). If a third-party website changes its code, the scraper may break. While we strive to issue updates, we do not guarantee uninterrupted functionality and are not liable for lost revenue during downtime.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, [Robert Lee/Cheerful Media] shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or affiliate revenue, arising out of your use or inability to use the Services. Our total liability to you shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service in the past 12 months.

7. Refunds & Subscriptions

Refunds and subscription cancellations for our premium plugins are handled in accordance with our Refund Policy, managed through our merchant of record, Freemius. Please review the Freemius checkout terms for specific refund windows (e.g., 14-day or 30-day money-back guarantees).
