More detail on the information we collect and store

Your Unique Serial Number

When you register your SimplyPats Software, you will be using a unique Serial Number generated by us that may have been provided to you via a 3rd Party distributor or by ourselves if you purchased the software licence direct.  Think of the Serial Number as representing a Single Licence to use the software after it has been registered.

A Licence Number

You will also be required to submit a Licence Number.  The Licence Number is generated by SimplyPats after you have installed the software on the PC or Device that you want to use it on.  The Licence Number is unique to each PC or Device and contains no personal identifiable information.

Your Details

You will be required to provide personal information when registering your SimplyPats software for the first time online.

When you submit your registration details online you are registering your interest to use a SimplyPats Licence.  We will use the Licence Number you provided to generate a Licence Key which is needed to unlock the software.  The Licence Key will be sent to the email address you entered during the Registration process.

Where are my Details stored?

When you register your software, your details are stored for a short period of time in a database on a managed web server provided by a 3rd party company.  The data is not encrypted, but your personal information is deleted from the web server database normally within a 72 hour period where it is then transferred to our local office database.

Your Personal Information is not stored on our web database for any significant period of time.
Your details are however, stored on our local database indefinitely as we need a record of who owns the right to use a licence for the software.

What Personal Details do you Store?

Our database stores any data that you submitted via our software registration page when you originally registered your software.

We update your record when you request a new Licence Key, and may also add notes regarding any communication related to support issues.

When do you use my Personal Details?

Software Licence Requests

When you request a new licence key we may look up and edit your details on our database to make sure that you own the right to licence the software.  Licence requests are carried out via email where you send us your software Serial Number and Licence Number, we then generate a Licence Key and send it back to the email address that we have on our database for the Serial Number provided.

When you request Support

If you are requesting support or advice from us, we will need to process your data because of your specific relationship with us.

We will keep all information relating to your query in a confidential record that is specific to you.

Marketing

Any information we use for the purposes of marketing, is used internally only.

We may use your data for statistical reports, however these statistics will not include any information that could be used to identify any individual.

From time to time, we may use your information to inform you of product updates or offers.  If you would rather not hear from us, please let us know.

No, we do not share your details with anyone else, they are used purely for the reasons stated above.

Your Rights

Can I request that my details are deleted from your database?

Yes, however by doing so you will lose the right to Licence the software in the future as we can no longer validate who the rightful licence holder is.

How do I notify you of any changes?
