Privacy policy

Last updated: 26 September 2026

Useful Software Limited ("we", "us", "our") is a New Zealand company that publishes productivity software. This policy explains what information this website (usefulsoftware.io) collects, why, and what choices you have. We handle personal information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

Our products, such as QRCard.id and NxCRM, run on their own websites and explain how they handle your information in their own privacy policies.

Information we collect

• Information you give us: if you email us at [email protected], we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you choose to write.
• Technical information: like almost every website, our web server records standard technical details for each request, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. We use these logs only to keep the site running and secure.

Cookies and analytics

This website doesn't use cookies for tracking, and it has no analytics or advertising trackers. The one exception is Cloudflare, which may set a short-lived security cookie if it needs to check that a visitor isn't a bot.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to reply to your enquiries, keep this website working and secure, and meet our legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Services that help run this website

A small number of providers handle requests to this website on our behalf:

• Cloudflare delivers and protects the site, so your requests pass through its network.
• Our hosting provider runs the server that stores the site and its logs.
• Google Fonts supplies the typefaces, so your browser fetches them from Google's servers, which receive your IP address.

We may also disclose information where required by law.

Data security and retention

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.

Your rights

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to ask for the personal information we hold about you and to ask us to correct it if it is wrong. To make a request, email us using the details below.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the date at the top.
