Who operates this site
HVAC Software Lab operates hvacsoftwarelab.com, an independent software research and comparison website. Questions about this policy can be submitted through the site’s Contact page.
Information processed automatically
When you visit a website, basic technical information may be processed by the hosting and security infrastructure. This can include an IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, timestamps, referral information, security events, and similar request metadata.
At launch, the site is intended to use Cloudflare for content delivery, performance, and security. Cloudflare may process technical data under its own terms and privacy documentation when providing those services.
Information you provide
The site does not currently provide user accounts or an active email subscription form. If you email contact@hvacsoftwarelab.com, information you voluntarily send will be used to respond to your request and maintain necessary business records.
Cookies and analytics
Essential technologies may be used to deliver pages, remember security settings, and protect the service. These functions do not depend on your analytics-cookie choice.
With your consent, HVAC Software Lab uses Google Analytics 4, deployed through Google Tag Manager, to measure visits and understand how the site is used. Analytics information may include pages viewed, events and interactions, approximate location, referral source, and browser or device information. Google may process network information, including an IP address, when providing the service.
Analytics storage is denied by default until you choose Accept analytics. If you choose Reject, analytics cookies remain denied. Advertising storage, ad-user data, and ad-personalization consent are currently denied by default.
You can reopen the consent panel at any time by selecting Cookie preferences in the site footer. Your choice is stored locally in your browser so the site can remember it.
Affiliate links and external websites
Some pages contain links to software vendors or other third-party websites. Those services may collect information after you leave our site and are governed by their own privacy policies. A qualifying commercial link may also be identified as an affiliate or sponsored link. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Sharing and service providers
We use Cloudflare for hosting, delivery, and security, and Google for consent-based analytics and tag management. These providers may process information as required to provide their services under their own terms and privacy documentation. We do not state that personal information is sold.
Data retention
Technical, security, and analytics data may be retained according to our account settings and the applicable service providers’ policies. Messages voluntarily sent to us may be kept for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain business records, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations.
Your choices and rights
You may accept or reject optional analytics storage and later change your selection through Cookie preferences in the footer. You can also remove the stored choice through your browser settings.
Depending on your location, privacy law may give you rights relating to access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, or portability of personal information. You may submit a request through our Contact page. We may need enough information to verify and process the request.
Children’s privacy
This site is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly request personal information from children.
International visitors
The site and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Applicable safeguards and legal requirements may vary by location.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the site’s practices, service providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised when a material update is published.
This policy describes the site’s current configuration and is provided for general transparency. It is not legal advice. It should be reviewed whenever new data-collection, advertising, email, or affiliate technologies are activated.
