Effective November 12, 2026. Last updated November 12, 2026.
This policy explains what information MelvinAdame.com collects, why, and the choices you have. It covers melvinadame.com and pageplanners.com, which redirects here. The site is run by Melvin Adame (Page Planners).
The short version
- We use cookies and privacy-friendly analytics to see what works and improve this site.
- Analytics and our contact-tracking cookies start only after you click OK on the cookie notice, or move on to another page after seeing it. If you close the notice with ×, they stay off.
- We do not use session recording (screen replay) tools on this site.
- We never sell your personal information, and we never share it for cross-site or cross-context behavioral advertising. There are no advertising pixels on this site.
Information you give us
When you use the contact form, a client intake form, a project agreement or an email sign-up, we receive what you enter. Depending on the form, that can include your name, business name, email address, phone number, website address, the service you are asking about, your message, project details, files you upload and an electronic signature. We use it to reply to you, prepare quotes and deliver the work you asked for.
Information collected automatically
Analytics: Independent Analytics
Independent Analytics runs on our own web server, so the data stays with us. After you consent, it records:
- pages viewed and how long you stayed;
- the page or site that sent you here, and campaign tags in the link;
- clicks on some links and buttons, such as contact or download links;
- device type, browser and operating system;
- approximate location (country and city), estimated from your IP address;
- whether a form was submitted (not what you typed into it).
Independent Analytics does not use cookies to identify you. It counts unique visits with a one-way code that changes daily, and according to its documentation it does not store your IP address.
Contact tracking: Groundhogg
Groundhogg is the customer database we run on our own server. After you consent, it uses cookies to note the pages you visit, how you first arrived and which forms you have seen. If you are already a contact, for example because you filled in a form or clicked a link in one of our emails, those visits can be connected to your contact record. Our emails may also note when they are opened and which links are clicked, so we know a message arrived and was useful.
What is not recorded
No tool on this site records your screen or replays your visit. Our analytics do not capture what you type into forms, and they do not collect payment details. Form information is handled by WPForms on our server. Submitting a form sends us your answers. Forms with Save and Resume can store answers when you choose to save. Some forms also have unfinished-entry capture enabled, which can store partial answers if you leave without submitting. These are form features, not session replay.

Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies when a spam check runs on a form or sign-in page. The accessibility tool saves your display preferences, such as larger text, in your browser.
You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie choices link at the bottom of every page. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, moving to another page will not count as consent; only the OK button will.
