How does SupportPal Limited collect information from you?

SupportPal Limited collects information from you when you provide it directly, for example by filling out forms on the Website (including any application you make for services). We also collect information automatically when you browse the Website or use our software, as detailed below.

When you sign up for a free trial or purchase our software, the legal basis for processing your email address is your consent.

Once a license is purchased, all personal data described below is processed based on SupportPal Limited's legitimate interests, including providing customer support, maintaining account security, licensing our software, and communicating important updates or information.

What information do we collect about you?

Information collected from the Website

SupportPal Limited may collect personally identifiable information such as your name, telephone number, physical address, email address, credit card details (for direct customers), and, if applicable, company information including contacts, telephone numbers, addresses, email addresses, payment information, and information about technical, marketing, and executive contacts within your company or organisation.

We may also collect technical information such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, ISP, IP address, pages viewed on the Website, and the time and duration of your visits.

User Communications

If you communicate with us, we collect information relating to that communication, whether via email, forum postings, testimonials, or other forms of interaction (collectively, "User Communications").

Server and Usage Information

When you use our software, we may collect information about the server on which the software operates, including license status, domain, IP address, and limited system fingerprints used to validate licensing and prevent unauthorised use. We may also collect general usage information to help analyse and improve software functionality. This processing is based on our legitimate interests in preventing fraud and protecting our intellectual property. You may contact us if you believe an automated restriction or blacklisting decision has been made in error.

How does SupportPal Limited use the information it collects?

SupportPal Limited processes personal data to fulfil user requests, including providing software licenses, customer and technical support, and communications about your account and our products. You may update or request deletion of your personal information; otherwise, we may retain records as necessary for legitimate business purposes, including compliance, fraud prevention, and historical reference.

Information provided solely for a free trial, where no further contact is made within 24 months and no active services exist, will be deleted.

We may use collected information to maintain, evaluate, improve, and provide our Website and software, analyse trends (including geographical usage), and improve service quality. This information is not linked to personally identifiable information unless explicitly stated. Aggregated usage data may be shared with partners.

SupportPal Limited will not sell or rent your personal information. We may provide your data to third-party processors as described below, solely for the purpose of providing our services.

Server and usage information may be retained for technical support, service improvement, or investigations of unlicensed or unauthorised software use.

We may send you product or service information by email where you have provided consent, or where you are an existing customer under the “soft opt-in” rules of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). You can withdraw consent or opt out of marketing at any time by following the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting support [@] supportpal.com.
