Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18 October 2026
This policy explains what personal data gindex.cc and the WP Markdown plugin collect, why, and what you can do about it. The service is run by Yasser Mamdouh, who decides how this data is used. Contact: support@gindex.cc.
1. What we collect
- Your account: your name, email address, password (stored only as a salted hash, never in readable form), language, and the date you accepted the terms.
- Your licences: your licence keys (stored encrypted), plan, number of sites, dates, and the domains where each key is active.
- Purchases: from Paddle, the order and customer numbers, the amount and currency, and the email used to buy. We never see or store your card details; Paddle handles them.
- AppSumo codes: which code was redeemed, when, and by which account.
- Security: to stop abuse we keep a one-way hash of your IP address for up to 24 hours, and the six-digit sign-in codes we email you, which expire after 10 minutes.
2. What the plugin sends us
When you activate WP Markdown, once a day after that, and when WordPress checks for updates, the plugin sends gindex.cc your licence key, your site’s address and the plugin version. It sends nothing about your content or your visitors.
3. Why we use it
- To run your account, sign you in, and show your licences and downloads.
- To check that a key is valid and used on the sites its plan allows.
- To send emails you need: sign-in codes, your licence key, and important changes to the service or these policies.
- To meet tax and accounting duties, and to prevent fraud.
We do not sell your data, we do not show ads, and this website uses no analytics or advertising cookies.
4. Cookies
We set one cookie, gx_s, only when you sign in, to keep you signed in. It is needed for your account to work.
5. Who else handles your data
- Cloudflare hosts this website and our database.
- Paddle processes payments, invoices, tax and refunds.
- AppSumo sells our lifetime deals.
- Rivo / StackMail sends our emails from support@gindex.cc.
- Google Fonts serves the fonts on this website, so your browser connects to Google when a page loads.
6. How long we keep it
We keep your account and licences while your account exists. Purchase records are kept as long as tax and accounting law requires. Security data is deleted within 24 hours, and sign-in codes after use or expiry.
7. Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete your account, by writing to support@gindex.cc from your account’s email address. When you delete your account we remove your personal data, except purchase records we must keep by law. You may also complain to the data protection authority in your country.
8. Security
All traffic uses HTTPS. Passwords are hashed with PBKDF2, licence keys are encrypted, and sign-in needs both your password and a code sent to your email.
9. Children
The service is not meant for anyone under 16.
10. Changes
When we change this policy we publish the new version here with a new date, and we email account holders about important changes.
