Marketing and Advertising
We use external companies to host our CRM, our data warehouse and our website – these are all engaged under Processor terms, which means they can’t do anything with your data unless we give them permission.
For free users – your data will be kept for as long as your account is active. After you close it down, your name and contact details will be retained for 3 years, for marketing and analytics, and after that, your de-identified activity data will be kept in de-identified form for as long as it is useful for our product analytics. We keep your information for your convenience, in case you want to re-activate your account at a later date; and also so that we can analyse user journeys and our interactions with product users to inform our sales strategies.
For enterprise users – if you are the main point of contact for Soda sales or support within your company, your data will be kept for six years after the last financial year in which we have an interaction, to meet our tax record-keeping and financial accountability obligations.
