Privacy Policy

At SaaSTEMLY we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard your information when you visit this website or work with us.

1. Information we collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

• Contact us through our contact form or by email
• Subscribe to updates from our blog
• Enter into or negotiate an engagement with us

This information may include your name and email address, company name and job title, billing details for invoiced engagements, and anything else you choose to tell us.

When you visit this website we may also automatically collect your IP address and browser type, device information and operating system, the pages you visit and time spent on them, and the referring website address.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to enquiries and provide the services you ask for
• Prepare proposals, deliver engagements and issue invoices
• Send administrative information and service updates
• Improve this website and the services we offer
• Send occasional updates where you have consented
• Protect against fraudulent or unauthorised activity
• Comply with legal and accounting obligations

3. Legal bases

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on the basis of performance of a contract (delivering an engagement you have asked for), our legitimate interests (running and improving our business, and responding to enquiries), your consent (analytics cookies and marketing updates, which you may withdraw at any time), and legal obligation (tax and accounting records).

4. Sharing your information

We may share your information with:

• Service providers: vendors who help us operate — hosting, email delivery, analytics and accounting
• Legal requirements: where required by law or to respond to legal process
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies. Essential cookies are required for basic site functionality and are always active. Analytics cookies help us understand how the site is used and are only set with your consent, which you give or withdraw through the consent banner. Preference cookies remember settings such as your light or dark theme. You can also control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some may affect site functionality.

6. Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information, including encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls and authentication, secure development practices, and regular review of our systems. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy — including the duration of an engagement and any statutory record-keeping period that follows it. When information is no longer needed we securely delete or anonymise it.

8. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Receive your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, please contact us. If you are in the EU or UK you also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

9. Children's privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have, we will delete it promptly.

10. International transfers

Our team and some of our service providers are located outside the country in which you are based. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date; where changes are material we will make that clear. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
