Privacy policy

Last updated: September 18, 2026

Who we are

True Cost of SaaS ("we", "us") publishes the website at truecostofsaas.com. This policy explains how we handle information when you visit the site. It applies to this website only — not to the websites of the software vendors we write about, which have their own policies.

Information we collect

• Usage and technical data. Pages viewed, time on page, referring page, approximate location (country or city level), browser and device type. This is aggregate information used to understand which pages are useful.
• Cookies and similar technologies. Small files placed by your browser. We use them for analytics and — where advertising is enabled — for ad delivery and measurement, as described below.
• Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your address and whatever you write. We use it only to reply and to correct our content.

We do not operate user accounts, we do not ask you for payment details, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Advertising and third-party cookies

This site is supported by advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
• Other third-party ad networks may also serve ads on this site; those vendors publish their own opt-out mechanisms on their websites.

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, personalised advertising is served only with your consent, and you can change or withdraw that choice at any time using the consent controls presented when you first visit.

Analytics

We use web analytics to count visits and identify the most useful pages. Reports we look at are aggregate: we do not use analytics to build a profile of an individual reader. Where a tool offers IP anonymisation, we leave it switched on.

Affiliate links

Links to software vendors are often affiliate links, which carry a tracking parameter so that a vendor can tell us a visitor came from here. That parameter identifies the site, not you. See our affiliate disclosure for details.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal information, to object to processing, to receive a portable copy, and to withdraw consent. California residents have additional rights, including the right to know and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA/CPRA. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below and we will respond within the period required by applicable law.

Data retention and security

Analytics data is retained only as long as needed for the purposes above, then deleted or aggregated. Emails you send us are kept for as long as needed to resolve the matter. We take reasonable technical measures to protect the information we hold, but no website can promise absolute security.

International transfers

Our site is served through a global content delivery network, and our analytics and advertising providers may process data outside your country. Where required, transfers rely on the providers' standard contractual safeguards.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
