Privacy Policy (Simplified & Transparent Version)

​

Last updated: April 23, 2026

​

Privacy Policy

​

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is handled when you use the RegWise website (“the Website”), including its article and comment/forum features.

​

2. Data Controller

For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, the operator of this Website acts as the data controller, as it determines the purpose of providing the platform.

​

3. Platform and Data Processing

This Website is built and operated using Wix, which provides the underlying infrastructure.

This includes:

  • Website hosting

  • Data storage

  • User account management and authentication

  • Technical security and backups

As a result, a significant portion of personal data processing is carried out by Wix on our behalf. We do not independently operate or control these systems. While we determine the purpose of the website, Wix determines and operates much of the technical means of processing. We do not have full control over how Wix processes or retains data within its infrastructure.

​

4. Personal Data Collected

When using the Website, the following categories of personal data may be processed:

  • Account Data: such as username and email address

  • User Content: such as comments or posts you submit

  • Technical Data: such as IP address, browser type, device information, and usage data

Much of this data is collected and processed automatically through Wix’s platform.

​

5. Purpose of Processing

Personal data is processed solely to:

  • Provide access to the Website and forum features

  • Enable user interaction (e.g. posting comments)

  • Maintain the functionality, security, and integrity of the platform

We do not use personal data for independent marketing, profiling, or unrelated analytics.

​

6. Legal Basis for Processing

Processing is based on:

  • Legitimate interests (operating and maintaining the Website)

  • Performance of a contract (providing user accounts and forum access)

​

7. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell or independently share personal data.

However, personal data is processed by our service provider Wix, which acts as a data processor and may use subprocessors as part of its infrastructure.

We recommend reviewing Wix’s privacy policy to understand how they handle data.

​

8. Data Retention

We aim to limit the retention of personal data where possible.

  • If a user account remains inactive for 60 calendar days, we may delete or anonymize personal data that is directly accessible and controllable by us.

  • “Inactive” means no login or use of the account during this period.

Because the Website operates on Wix:

  • Some data may continue to be stored in Wix systems (such as backups, logs, or system records)

  • Retention periods applied by Wix are outside of our direct control

Certain data may also be retained where required for legal obligations, dispute resolution, or security purposes.

​

9. Cookies and Automatic Data Collection

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies provided by Wix.

These may collect technical and usage data (such as IP address, device type, and browsing activity) for:

  • Website functionality

  • Security

  • Performance monitoring

​

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under data protection law, including:

  • Access to your personal data

  • Correction of inaccurate data

  • Deletion of your data

  • Restriction or objection to processing

You may exercise these rights by contacting us. We will respond as required and coordinate with Wix where necessary.

​

11. Data Security

We rely on the technical and organizational security measures implemented by Wix, which include industry-standard protections such as encryption and access controls.

​

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be published on this page.
