We process personal data primarily based on our legitimate interests (e.g., website performance analysis and security) and the consent you provide when submitting a form or accepting non-essential cookies
What do we collect?
Lifecycle Software.com may collect data about the behaviour of visitors on its website. When somebody visits our website, we use third-party analytics tools, Hubspot and Google, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns.

This website behaviour information is generally processed in a way that does not identify anyone. We do not make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
Why do we collect this information?
Keeping a record of our users’ interactions on our site allows us to identify the performance of our website over time, for example, the efficiency of our content and potential weaknesses in communication.
