1. Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, business details, and any information submitted through contact forms or account registration. We may also collect technical information automatically when you use our website, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and general usage patterns. Where our tools request financial or operational inputs for analysis purposes, that information is processed solely to generate the requested output and is described further below.
2. How We Use Information
We use collected information to operate and improve our website, provide and personalise our AI-guided analysis features, respond to enquiries, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations. Aggregated or anonymised data may be used for internal analytics and service improvement. We do not use personal information for purposes beyond those disclosed in this policy without seeking further consent where required.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent, the necessity of processing to perform a contract with you, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our services, and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain functionality, remember preferences, and understand how visitors interact with our pages. You can control cookie settings through your browser; disabling cookies may affect certain website features. We do not currently operate a detailed cookie consent mechanism on this page — this section should be expanded to match the actual cookies deployed on the live site.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who assist in operating our website and delivering our services (for example, hosting or analytics providers), subject to confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our legal rights, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, and resolve disputes. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected. Where information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information you provide to us.
8. International Data Transfers
If information is transferred to or processed in a country outside your own, we aim to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with applicable data protection law. This section should be updated to reflect the actual locations of our servers and service providers once finalised.
9. Your Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided on our Contact page. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe.
10. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are intended for business use and are not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
