Updated Privacy Policy

I am a long-standing user of Sage 50, Sage200, P11d and Payroll.  I received the updated privacy notice by e-mail recently and I presume it applies to all Sage products. I have read some of it, certainly not all of it as I frankly do not have the time. I suspect this may be the same for most people trying to run a business and trying to cope with information overload. But it worries me that, much like most software contracts, there is something in there that will not protect or mitigate damage to our business if Sage were subject to say, a catastrophic data leak.

 It would be helpful to know what changes have been made and why they were done? 

In whose interests was this published- who does it really protect? Your customers or Sage?

  • Dear Jon

    Thank you for your message.

    We have taken proactive steps to improve our Privacy Notice for the following reasons:

    • We wanted to provide more details on our strategic initiatives and how they rely on processing of personal data of our customers, users or partners;
    • We wanted to make our Privacy Notice easier to navigate, allowing individuals to expand or collapse content, so they can find the content they are looking for straight away;
    • We wanted to make our Privacy Notice language more user friendly, and did an overall review to ensure it was easier to understand.

    Sage takes protection of your personal data extremely seriously. The purpose of this privacy notice is to give our customers and users all information on how we process their personal data, in line with applicable data protection laws.

    Thanks,

    Andy
