This page covers only the email newsletter sign-up on technetbuddy.com. The apps have their own policies: SDA Manager for Android and SDA Buddy for iPhone and iPad. See all of them on the privacy page.
What we collect
- Your email address, as you type it in the sign-up form.
- When you asked to subscribe, and when you confirmed using the link we emailed you.
- The IP address you confirmed from, kept as a record of your consent.
- When you unsubscribed, if you do.
To stop the form being abused, we also keep a scrambled (hashed) form of the IP address that submitted it, for up to 24 hours. We do not use tracking pixels, cookies or third-party scripts for the newsletter.
Why
To send you the updates you asked for, to prove you asked for them, and to stop anyone from signing up an address that is not theirs. We send nothing until you click the confirmation link. We do not sell or share your address.
Where it is stored
In a private database on our web hosting provider's servers, which only our own website can access. Emails are sent from no-reply@technetbuddy.com through our email provider's secure mail servers. Replies go to info@technetbuddy.com.
How long we keep it
- If you never confirm, your address is deleted after 30 days.
- Confirmation links stop working after 48 hours. Used or expired links are deleted after 30 days.
- If you unsubscribe, we keep your address marked as unsubscribed, so we have a record that you opted out. Ask us and we will delete it completely.
Unsubscribing
Every email we send has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click on it, then one press of the button, removes you. Your email app may also show its own unsubscribe button, which works the same way.
Seeing or deleting your data
Email info@technetbuddy.com from the subscribed address to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted.
Changes
If we change how the newsletter handles your data, we will update this page and the date below.
