This Privacy Policy explains how softservice.org, operated by AcademTech, LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”), collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website or interact with our services.
Information we collect
- Information you provide — when you fill out a contact form, subscribe to a newsletter, or send us an email, we receive whatever details you choose to share (typically a name and email address).
- Automatically collected information — like most websites, we collect technical data when you visit: IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages viewed, and timestamps. This is used for security, analytics, and to improve the site.
- Cookies and similar technologies — we use cookies for essential site functionality, basic analytics, and (where applicable) advertising. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings without losing access to the site’s main features.
How we use information
- To respond to inquiries you send us.
- To operate, secure, and improve the website.
- To analyze aggregate traffic patterns (we do not identify individual visitors in analytics).
- To send updates only to people who have explicitly subscribed.
Information sharing
We do not sell personal information. We share data only with service providers we use to run the site (hosting, analytics, email delivery), and only to the extent required for them to provide their service. Where legally compelled, we may disclose information to comply with applicable law.
Your rights
You can request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw consent at any time. Send your request to support@softservice.org and we will respond within 30 days.
Data retention
We keep contact-form submissions and email correspondence for as long as is reasonably needed to address your inquiry, and afterwards only as required by law.
Security
We use standard security measures appropriate to the type of data we collect — HTTPS for all connections, access controls on internal systems, and regular software updates. No system is perfectly secure, but we treat your information with the same care we expect for our own.
Children
This website is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us at support@softservice.org and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for significant changes, notify subscribers by email.
