Vibe Press Tools Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24/06/26

This Privacy Policy explains how VibePressTools may affect visitors and users of this website. VibePressTools is active on vibesuite.app as a modular Vibe Suite utility plugin for WordPress and Elementor.

VibePressTools may support selected website features such as forms, conditional display behaviour, spam protection, maintenance access, short links, image handling, local template rendering and website administration tools. The information processed depends on which VibePressTools features are active on this website and which features a visitor or user interacts with.

How VibePressTools is used on this website

On this website, VibePressTools may help us operate and improve selected visitor-facing features. These may include public forms, enhanced form fields, consent fields, conditional content display, anti-spam checks, short links, image delivery tools, temporary maintenance access and local rendering of selected website templates.

Not every VibePressTools feature is active for every visitor. Some features only apply where they are enabled, where a public form includes them, or where a visitor uses a specific VibePressTools-powered feature.

Information that may be processed

Depending on which features are active on this website, VibePressTools may process information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, company details, form field values, selected options, messages, consent choices, consent timestamps, page URLs, referrers, timestamps, user/session context, UTM or attribution values, short link click totals, maintenance bypass state and basic operational or diagnostic information.

Where upload fields are made available through a public form, uploaded files may also be processed as part of the relevant submission.

Where signature fields are made available through a public form, signature data may be processed as part of the relevant submission.

Forms and submissions

Where a form on this website is powered or enhanced by VibePressTools, the information submitted through that form may be processed so we can receive, review and respond to the request.

Form submissions may include the visible information entered by the user, hidden form context, consent information, timestamps, page URLs, referrer details and technical information needed to process the submission.

Where a form includes optional features such as uploads, signatures, consent fields, UTM capture or anti-spam checks, those features may process additional information as described on this page.

Consent fields and consent timestamps

Where a VibePressTools-powered form includes a consent field, we may record the consent choice, the wording shown at the time, the date and time of submission and related form context. This helps us keep a record of the consent or acknowledgement given with that form.

UTM, referrer and attribution capture

Where VibePressTools UTM or attribution capture is enabled on a form, campaign parameters, landing page information or referrer information may be temporarily held in browser session storage and included with the relevant form submission.

This may help us understand which page, campaign or source led to an enquiry. Where used for campaign or enquiry-source tracking, this information is treated as attribution or analytics-related information.

Conditional display behaviour

VibePressTools may support conditional display behaviour on this website. This means certain fields, content, options or interface elements may appear, hide or change depending on choices made by the user, the page being viewed or the relevant website configuration.

This behaviour is used to make forms and content more relevant and usable. It does not mean every visitor sees the same fields, messages or options.

Spam protection and Google reCAPTCHA

Where enabled, VibePressTools may help protect forms and interactive features from spam, abuse and automated submissions using honeypots, validation checks or Google reCAPTCHA.

Google reCAPTCHA helps protect forms from spam and abuse and may process risk signals or set cookies. Where Google reCAPTCHA is active, Google may process technical information as part of its anti-spam and security checks.

Uploads

Where upload fields are made available through a public form, uploaded files may be processed as part of the relevant submission. Uploaded files may contain personal data depending on what the user chooses to provide.

Users should not upload unlawful, harmful, malicious, confidential or unnecessary sensitive material unless the form specifically asks for it and it is relevant to the request being made.

Signatures

Where signature fields are made available through a public form, signature data may be processed as part of the relevant submission. Signature data should only be provided where the form clearly asks for it.

Short links

Where VibePressTools Short Links are used on this website, the plugin may record aggregate click count and last-clicked timestamp for each short link. This is a server-side operational record used to understand whether a short link is being used.

This short link record is not a browser cookie and is not intended to create individual behavioural profiles by itself.

Maintenance and coming-soon bypass

Where the VibePressTools maintenance or coming-soon bypass feature is active, an authorised bypass link may set a temporary functional cookie called vso_bypass. This allows an authorised visitor to access the website while a public maintenance or coming-soon screen remains active.

This cookie is only relevant where the bypass feature is active and the visitor uses a valid bypass link. It usually lasts for approximately 12 hours.

Image and WebP handling

VibePressTools may support image handling on this website, including generation or delivery of WebP image versions where relevant. This is used to help display website media efficiently.

Where image handling affects visitor-visible content, it relates to how website images are prepared or served. It does not mean visitors are personally identified by the image feature itself.

VibePlates and local template rendering

Where VibePlates or local template rendering is used, VibePressTools may help display selected saved website templates or content sections to visitors. This affects how parts of the page are rendered and displayed.

This feature is primarily about presenting website content. Any personal data shown through a rendered template depends on the content and configuration of the relevant page or feature.

Cookies, browser storage and operational records

VibePressTools may use cookies, browser storage or server-side operational records depending on which features are active on this website. More information about cookies and similar technologies used on this website is available in our Cookie Policy.

• vso_bypass: A functional cookie used only where the VibePressTools maintenance or coming-soon bypass feature is active and an authorised visitor uses a valid bypass link. It allows temporary access during a maintenance or coming-soon period and usually lasts for approximately 12 hours.
• vff_utm_capture: Browser session storage used only where VibePressTools UTM or attribution capture is enabled on forms. It may temporarily store campaign parameters, landing page information or referrer information so those values can be included with a relevant form submission. It normally lasts for the browser session.
• Google reCAPTCHA / _GRECAPTCHA: A third-party script and cookie used only where Google reCAPTCHA is enabled through VibePressTools forms or spam protection settings. It helps protect forms and interactive features from spam, abuse and automated traffic.
• VibePressTools Short Links counter: A server-side operational record used only where VibePressTools Short Links are active. It may record aggregate click count and last-clicked timestamp for each short link. This is not a browser cookie.

Operational checks

VibePressTools may perform operational checks needed to keep the plugin active, compatible and maintained on this website. These may include module state, version information, update checks, licence-related checks or diagnostic information relevant to running the website.

These checks are used for website operation and maintenance. They are not intended to create visitor profiles.

Third-party services

VibePressTools may work alongside services used on this website, including WordPress, Elementor, WooCommerce, hosting services, email or SMTP services, Google reCAPTCHA, analytics tools, security tools, cache or CDN services, webhook endpoints and other tools we configure for the website.

Where a third-party service is active, that service may process information according to its own privacy terms. We explain the main categories of third-party services in our general Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy where relevant.

How long information is kept

Information processed through VibePressTools is kept only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, unless a longer period is required for legal, security, operational or administrative reasons.

Some information may also exist in backups, email systems, logs, exports, cache files or third-party services for a limited period depending on how the website is operated.

User rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to certain uses of your personal data. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

More information about privacy rights and how to contact us is available in our main Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this VibePressTools Privacy Policy when VibePressTools features change, when our website configuration changes or when legal, technical or operational requirements change.
