A domain is the main address of a website (mywebsite.com).
Each iubenda plan is associated with one site/app, so one URL. This means that one iubenda plan covers only one domain.
Unlike two subdomains, two domains each have their own URL. If you have two domains, you will need two different iubenda subscriptions.
A subdomain is a prefix added to the main domain to organize or separate different sections of a website.
Almost all our plans cover subdomains. If your website’s main domain is mywebsite.com, the other subdomains such as blog.mywebsite.com or onlinestore.mywebsite.com will also be covered by the same iubenda subscription.
Although the URL changes slightly, it’s still on the same domain and our plans will cover for that full domain.
Please note that this does not apply to WayWidget, our accessibility product. Each WayWidget Standard or Lite plan is tied to a single domain or subdomain, as both require separate processing every 24 hours. Subdomains consume the same resources and processes as domains. Each domain or subdomain also receives its own accessibility statement and performance certification.
For these reasons, subdomains for our accessibility solution are treated as separate domains and require their own plan.
Our pricing is based on a per site/app basis. The reason for this is that different sites/apps usually serve different purposes and projects and thus require a different privacy policy.
When it comes to multiple subdomains especially, it gets trickier if those subdomains are very different, in the sense that the related projects and data collection practices differ so much that it is wiser to have customized legal documents for each.
If, for instance, two privacy policies are needed, then you would have to purchase two different subscriptions for each subdomain. It’s ok to reuse the same legal documents as long as the subdomains aren’t completely separate.
💡 Always ask yourself if your privacy policy does what it is supposed to be doing, namely informing users in a way that is reasonable and helps them understand your data collection practices!
