1. The short version
We collect what you send us and almost nothing else. There is no advertising network on this site, no cross site tracking, and nothing non essential loads until you consent to it.
- Submit the quote form and we hold what you typed, so we can reply to it.
- Request a guide and we hold your email address and your topic.
- Browsing can generate technical logs, including a network address.
- This website has no advertising data-sale integration.
2. Who is responsible
Sawhorse Software LLC is the controller for the personal information described in this policy. Contact us at support@sawhorsesoftware.tech about anything in it, including to exercise a right described below.
3. What we collect and why
Information you send us
When you submit the quote form we receive your name, your work email address, your company name, an optional website address, the industry, need type, solution type, timeline, region and preferred support language you selected, whether you indicated an NDA is required, and the description you wrote. We use it to respond to your enquiry and, if an engagement follows, to deliver it.
When you request a guide we receive your email address, the topic and the format you chose. We use it to write the material and tell you when it is published.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting platform records standard server information such as the requested address, the response status, a timestamp and the originating network address. This is operational logging needed to run and secure the site. We do not combine it with form submissions to build a profile.
Vercel Firewall processes network identifiers and rate-limit counters to protect submission endpoints across server instances. Platform logging and retention settings apply to this security processing.
Information we do not collect
We do not collect payment card details on this site. We do not use advertising or cross site tracking technology. We do not buy contact lists.
4. Legal basis for processing
For people in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area, our bases are:
- Steps before a contract. Handling your quote request so we can respond and potentially agree an engagement.
- Legitimate interests. Operating and securing the website, preventing abuse of the submission endpoints, and keeping records of business correspondence. We balance this against your rights and limit processing to the operational purpose.
- Consent. Any non essential cookie or script, which loads only after you accept. You can change that choice at any time.
- Legal obligation. Records we are required to keep, such as those relating to a concluded contract.
6. International transfers
We serve clients in North America and Europe, and our service providers operate internationally. Where personal information moves between regions, we rely on the transfer mechanisms available to those providers, such as standard contractual clauses. If you need the specifics for a procurement review, ask and we will provide them.
7. How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement. Kept while the conversation is live and for a reasonable period after, then deleted.
- Enquiries that lead to an engagement. Kept for the duration of the engagement and for as long as we are required to keep business records afterwards.
- Guide requests. Kept until the material is published and you have been told, then deleted unless you asked to hear about future material.
- Operational logs. Retained according to the settings of our hosting platform.
You can request deletion by email. We assess requests against applicable rights and any legal obligations to retain records.
8. Your rights
Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, your rights may include:
- Ask what we hold about you and receive a copy.
- Have inaccurate information corrected.
- Have information deleted where we have no overriding obligation to keep it.
- Object to or restrict processing based on legitimate interests.
- Receive the information you gave us in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time, which does not affect processing already carried out.
For California residents, we confirm that we do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross context behavioural advertising. You have the right to know, delete, correct and to be free from discrimination for exercising those rights.
To exercise any right, email support@sawhorsesoftware.tech. We respond within the period the applicable law allows. If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area and are unhappy with our response, you may complain to your data protection authority.
10. Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit. Credentials are held in a platform secret store scoped per environment rather than in a repository. Access to systems is granted on a least privilege basis and removed when it is no longer needed. No system is perfectly secure, and we will not claim otherwise, but the practice is described accurately on our security and IP page.
11. Children
This is a business website and it is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under sixteen. If you believe we have, tell us and we will delete it.
12. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when our practices change. The version on this page is the current one and the date it was last updated is shown at the top. Material changes will be described rather than slipped in.
