Privacy Policy

1. How this Privacy Policy applies

This Privacy Policy applies to information processed through CleanBizSoftware.com, including its software comparisons, pricing guides, calculators, business resources and contact forms.

CleanBizSoftware is an independent software comparison and affiliate website for cleaning businesses, maid services, solo cleaners and small service teams.

CleanBizSoftware does not directly sell software subscriptions, operate software customer accounts or process vendor billing information.

External software vendors, affiliate platforms and review websites have their own privacy policies. Their practices are not controlled by CleanBizSoftware.

2. Information covered by this Privacy Policy

The information processed depends on how a visitor uses the website. Categories may include:

Do not submit passwords, payment card numbers, government identification numbers, private customer records or sensitive vendor account information through the contact form.

3. How this Privacy Policy uses personal information

Information may be used to:

• operate, maintain and secure the website;
• respond to questions, corrections and software suggestions;
• review reports of outdated pricing or changed product features;
• understand which pages and tools visitors find useful;
• measure website performance and affiliate-link activity;
• detect spam, abuse, malicious traffic and technical errors;
• maintain editorial records and improve published content;
• comply with valid legal obligations or protect legal rights.

Contact-form submissions are not intended to create software accounts, process payments or provide official support for third-party vendors.

Where applicable law requires a lawful basis, processing may rely on consent, legitimate operational interests, steps requested by the visitor or compliance with a legal obligation.

4. Google Analytics under this Privacy Policy

CleanBizSoftware uses Google Analytics 4 to understand website traffic, page performance and visitor interaction.

Google Analytics may process information such as device and browser details, approximate location, referral source, pages viewed, session activity and cookie or client identifiers.

CleanBizSoftware does not intentionally configure Google Analytics to receive names, email addresses, contact-form messages or other information that directly identifies a visitor.

Visitors can also review the Google Privacy Policy and the official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

5. Cookies under this Privacy Policy

Cookies are small files stored through a browser. CleanBizSoftware and third-party services may use cookies or similar identifiers for website operation, analytics, security and referral attribution.

Where a consent-management option is displayed, visitors can use it to record or change the available cookie choices.

6. Affiliate tracking under this Privacy Policy

Some CleanBizSoftware links are affiliate links. When a visitor clicks an eligible link, the destination vendor or affiliate platform may process referral data and place its own cookie or identifier.

The third party determines its own tracking period, privacy practices, qualifying actions and commission rules.

CleanBizSoftware may receive limited reporting information, such as an attributed click, trial, lead or sale. We generally do not receive the visitor’s complete vendor account, billing details or payment card information.

7. Service providers covered by this Privacy Policy

Limited information may be processed by service providers supporting the website, including:

• website hosting, caching and security providers;
• WordPress and installed website-form technology;
• Google Analytics and related measurement services;
• software vendors and affiliate-tracking platforms;
• professional advisers when reasonably necessary;
• public authorities when disclosure is legally required.

These providers may process information in countries different from the visitor’s country. Their own privacy policies and contractual terms may apply.

8. Data retention under this Privacy Policy

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, website security, editorial records, dispute resolution or applicable legal obligations.

Contact messages may be retained while a correction, question or request is being reviewed and for a reasonable period afterward.

Analytics information and server logs are retained according to the configuration and policies of the relevant service provider.

Information may be deleted, anonymized or aggregated when it is no longer reasonably needed.

9. Privacy rights under this Privacy Policy

Depending on the visitor’s location and applicable law, privacy rights may include the ability to:

• request access to personal information;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion where legally available;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• withdraw consent where processing relies on consent;
• request a portable copy of eligible information;
• appeal a decision where local law provides that right.

Requests can be submitted through the Contact page. Additional information may be requested when reasonably necessary to verify the requester’s identity and protect information from unauthorized disclosure.

California residents can review general information about state privacy rights on the official California Consumer Privacy Act page. Statutory rights apply only when the relevant legal requirements are met.

10. Security under this Privacy Policy

CleanBizSoftware uses reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect the website and information submitted through it.

Measures may include encrypted HTTPS connections, software updates, access controls, security monitoring, backups, spam protection and website-hosting safeguards.

No website, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information.

12. External websites and this Privacy Policy

CleanBizSoftware contains links to software vendors, review platforms, government resources and other external websites.
