This privacy policy explains how Oracle Software Licensing (the firm, we, us) collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit this website, subscribe to The Oracle Licensing Brief, request a consultation, or download a white paper. We are an independent buyer side advisory and are not affiliated with Oracle Corporation. We take privacy seriously and process personal data in accordance with the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as applicable.
Oracle Software Licensing operates from offices in New York, London, and Stockholm. For any privacy question, to exercise your rights, or to reach our data protection contact, use the contact page or email advisory@oraclesoftwarelicensing.com. Where required, our London office acts as the establishment for UK and EU data subjects.
We collect only the data we need to respond to enquiries and run the advisory relationship. This includes:
We require a corporate email address on our forms because we respond to enterprise enquiries only. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under the age of 16.
We use personal data to respond to your enquiry, to deliver requested white papers, to send The Oracle Licensing Brief if you have subscribed, to deliver and administer advisory engagements, and to meet our legal and contractual obligations. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with Oracle Corporation or with any reseller.
Where GDPR applies, we rely on the following lawful bases: consent for marketing communications such as the newsletter, which you can withdraw at any time; legitimate interests for responding to business enquiries and improving the site; and contract where processing is necessary to deliver an engagement you have asked us to perform.
This site uses a minimal set of cookies and privacy conscious analytics to understand aggregate traffic. We do not use advertising trackers. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings without losing access to the content of the site.
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Enquiry data is retained for the duration of the conversation and a reasonable follow up period. Engagement data is retained for the term of the engagement and any applicable professional or legal retention period, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.
If you are in the EU or UK, you have the right to access your personal data, to request correction or erasure, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the contact page.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. To submit a request, contact us using the details above.
Because we operate across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Sweden, your data may be transferred between these jurisdictions. Where data leaves the EU or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses to protect it.
We apply organisational and technical measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data we hold, including access controls and confidentiality obligations on everyone who works on an engagement. Engagement materials are never discussed with Oracle.
We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or practice. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be noted on this page.
