Privacy Policy

Trace Financial is committed to a policy of protecting the rights and privacy of individuals in accordance with all relevant data protection legislation.

What data do we hold and why?

We collect and use personal data on the basis that it is in our legitimate business interest to do so, for example to allow us to provide support and assistance to our customers.

We collect data directly from you whenever you interact with us, including, without limitation, when you:-

  • Request support for one of our products via email or by any other means
  • Request information, documentation or product demonstrations from our website or elsewhere
  • Participate in surveys or evaluations
  • Apply for employment
  • Create user accounts for any of our current or future customer zones

Our records include:-

  • Contact details – for example, your email address, telephone number, employer, work title, etc.
  • IP addresses and disk volume serial numbers – our products use licensing software that will validate an installation using these values
  • User account information – if you register for a user account on any current or future client/support area of our website, we will retain information necessary to identify you as the owner of that account (email address, etc.)

How long do we keep this data?

If you are not a client of ours, we will remove your data from our systems within a reasonable timeframe. If you ask us to remove you from a marketing email list, we may retain a skeleton record comprising your name and email address to ensure that we do not mail you again.

If you are a client, we may need to retain your details so that we can provide a service to you.

Who do we share your data with?

Trace Financial will not share your data with any other third parties except where there is a legitimate business reason for doing so, for example:-

  • our appointed auditors, accountants or lawyers may require access to contracts containing limited personal details
  • if you are a client of one of our partners, we may pass on support requests to that partner

We will never lend or sell your data to third parties.

How do we protect your data?

Your data is held securely within our systems and the data is accessible to a limited number of our staff.
