Privacy Policy

Sapling Servers is a trading name associated with Sapling Servers Limited. By ordering a service from Sapling Servers you hereby agree to the privacy policy below;
Information we collect about you

Any information we collect about you during the ordering and signup process is the only data we store. However, an IP address, and hostname is automatically stored for security purposes every time you login.

When using our control panel, actions are logged and stored along with a date and time stamp and the IP address used.

How your information is used

The information you provide is solely used for billing and notification purposes (so we can contact you with invoices, support etc). Your name, address and email are passed to our third-party payment processors - Stripe and PayPal to verify credit/debit card ownership and provide ourselves with fraud protection.

We do not store any personal financial information provided to us while making a payment, nor do we share this information with 3rd parties. Should this change at any point you will of course be contacted in advance.

GDPR Specifics

These terms are specific to privacy and handling of your personal data intrusted to us as set out within the general data protection regulation.

The right to be informed

We provide all our terms and privacy policy documents on this very page. An account and order cannot be placed without first agreeing to our terms of service.

The right of access

We provide an all in one self-service client area that gives you access to login, view and update all personal information we store. This includes your name, email address, postal address, phone number, security question(s) and your password.
