Personal data collected

WordPress collects your username, name, password and email address when you sign up for their website. When you set up your public profile, that information is collected by WordPress and available to be viewed by the public. When you pay for services such as a website, custom domain or a premium theme, you share your credit card information and contact information with them. If you use WordPress to sell products or services, you provide them with the URL to your website and financial information to set up payments such as your Paypal email or your bank account information. If you make a post publicly on WordPress with personal information on it, they collect that information as well and it is viewable to the public. If you contact WordPress they keep logs of the conversations. They also collect your location from your IP address, how you use their services, web browser information, mobile device information, language preferences, the website you came from, operating system and mobile network information.
