Privacy notice
Canopy is a money app in development. This notice covers this pre-launch site: the founding list, our emails and survey and how we measure which pages work. Canopy does not connect to bank accounts yet.
Who we are
Software Systems Limited, trading as TallTree® Technologies, runs Canopy and acts as the data controller. Registered in England & Wales, company no. 14466340. Registered office: 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Lytchett Matravers, Poole BH16 6FA, United Kingdom. Questions and requests: canopy@talltree.tech.
What we collect and why
| What | Why | Lawful basis | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your email address, your answer to “What should Canopy answer first?” and whether you’d like a chat | To send your confirmation, one reminder if you haven’t confirmed, a short survey, an invitation to chat, launch news and the occasional research question (never more than one a month after the first week), and to arrange a call if you want one | Consent (the tick box). Withdraw it with the unsubscribe link in any email, or by replying “unsubscribe” | Until you leave the list. Unconfirmed addresses go after 30 days, and everything goes within 12 months if Canopy does not launch |
| Which page and price you saw, the ad or link that brought you, your country and the time you joined | To compare prices and pages fairly | Legitimate interests: learning what to build and what to charge | With your sign-up, as above |
| Survey answers, including optional bands for household and self-employed income | To decide what Canopy does first and what to charge | Consent: the survey is optional, and the income questions offer “Prefer not to say” or can be skipped | With your sign-up, and deleted if you leave the list. Answers given without a link from our emails: up to 12 months |
| Emails you send to hello@canopy.talltree.tech: your address, the subject and the first 500 characters | To pass your message to our inbox, act on requests such as “unsubscribe”, and count replies | Legitimate interests: answering you and keeping track of requests | 12 months in our database; the full message stays in our business email |
| Page measurement: pages viewed, buttons clicked, how far you scroll, device type, browser and country. No cookies, nothing stored on your device, no IP address kept | To see which pages, prices and emails work | Legitimate interests. Switch it off with “Analytics” in the footer | Up to 12 months, in PostHog’s EU cloud |
| A bot check when you join (Cloudflare Turnstile) and Cloudflare’s security checks on every page | To keep spam sign-ups and attacks out | Legitimate interests: keeping the site and the list genuine | Not kept by us |
What we store on your device
One setting, and only if you choose it: your analytics choice, so we can respect it next time. Our analytics keeps a random ID in memory for a single page view and forgets it when you leave. When you open a link from one of our emails, we use the random ID saved with your sign-up instead, so we can tell which emails help.
Cloudflare, which hosts this site, may set security cookies (such as __cf_bm and cf_clearance) to tell people from bots. They are strictly necessary to keep the site safe, so they don’t need your consent, and we can’t read them.
Who helps us
- Cloudflare: hosting, security, the sign-up database (kept in the EU), and sending and receiving our emails.
- PostHog: page measurement and survey answers, in its EU cloud. We pass on your country and device type, never your IP address or email.
- Google: our business email, where your replies and sign-up notifications arrive.
Some of these companies are based in the US, and their staff or sub-processors may access data from outside the UK. Where that happens we rely on the UK–US data bridge or the ICO’s International Data Transfer Addendum.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, object to how we use it, restrict it, take a copy, or withdraw consent. The unsubscribe link in every email deletes your sign-up and your survey answers straight away. For anything else, email canopy@talltree.tech and we will reply within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
