Privacy policy

This policy explains what we collect when you use Software Today, why we collect it and what you can ask us to do with it.

[Before going live: add your legal business name and postal address here, and ask a lawyer to review this page. This text is a starting draft, not legal advice.]

What we collect

• Quote requests: your name, mobile number, email address (if you give it), city, business type, the software you need and your monthly budget.
• Newsletter: your email address.
• Messages you send us: your name, email, phone number if you give it, and your message.
• Abuse prevention: a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address, which we cannot turn back into the address.
• Usage statistics: if analytics is switched on, standard information such as pages viewed and the type of device.

We do not ask for payment details and we do not need you to create an account.

Why we collect it and who sees it

• We use your quote request to match you with vendors. With your consent, we share it with up to three vendors whose product fits your request. They may contact you about that request only.
• We use your email address to send the updates you signed up for.
• We do not sell your details to anyone else.

How long we keep it

We keep quote requests for as long as they are needed to deal with your request and to keep business records. You can ask us to delete yours sooner.

Your choices

You can ask us to show you, correct or delete the information we hold about you, or withdraw your consent, by writing to us through the contact page. We act on these requests promptly.

Cookies

Ordinary visitors get no cookies from us. If analytics is switched on, the analytics provider may set its own. Admin and vendor logins use one cookie to keep you signed in.

Changes

We will update this page when our practices change and show the date below.
