in other related ways, including sales, marketing, or events.

We take data protection very seriously. Please read this privacy policy carefully as it contains

important information on how we process personal data when you use our Services, including

document analysis and administrative tools.

It also explains your rights in relation to your personal data and how to contact us or the relevant

regulator in the event you have a complaint. Our collection, storage, use and sharing of your personal

data is regulated by law, including under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR),

the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), and the Swiss Federal Act on Data

Protection (FADP), depending on your location.

2 WHAT THIS POLICY APPLIES TO

Website.

or by certain trusted third parties to enable us to provide you with the service through the Website.

These integrated third-party services, such as document processing APIs, administrative tools, and

secure storage providers, may process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies, which

will be clearly disclosed to you before any such integration is enabled. Any such processing will be

limited to what is necessary for providing the requested document analysis and administrative

services. For privacy information relating to these other apps, websites or service, please consult

their privacy policies as appropriate. For more information see the section ‘Who we share your

personal data with’ below.

from documents you submit for analysis, as well as data from any optional integrations with email

communications, financial documents, and telephone systems that you choose to enable. These

integrations are entirely optional and not required to access core Services. For integrated data, we

maintain a 6-month automatic deletion policy, though you may manually delete this data at any time

We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data which is not

personal data as it does not directly (or indirectly) reveal your identity. For example, we may

Website and place any request for accessing services through the Website) to calculate the

percentage of users accessing a specific feature of the Website in order to analyse general trends in

how users are interacting with the Website to help improve the Website and our offerings.

feature, we will assume that you have purposefully made such data manifestly public.

We do not collect or process location data when location services are turned off in your device’s

settings. When you allow your device to use location service/data, data will also be collected by

with our AI – securely hosted by Microsoft Azure. Upon completion of analysis, the files are removed

entirely from our systems. Any third-party service providers we engage process data under strict

confidentiality obligations.

When you visit our Website or any related websites with the same domain name and different

extension, we act as a data controller for all processing activities, including website usage data, AI

analysis services, andintegrated communication systems. We engage service providers who provide

sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures that meet

GDPR requirements and ensure the protection of your rights. All service providers are bound by

written contracts that include specific data protection obligations, confidentiality requirements,

security measures, and appropriate safeguards for your personal data. and require them to only

process personal data on documented instructions from us, acting on behalf of the data controller

(your organisation). These contracts include confidentiality obligations, security requirements, and

audit rights that are at least as protective as those in our agreement with the data controller.

outlined in this privacy notice, or as required by applicable laws. For integrated email and telephone

communications data, we maintain a 6-month automatic deletion policy, though you may manually

Following the end of the aforementioned retention period, we will delete or anonymise your personal

data in accordance with applicable technical standards and industry best practices, unless retention

is required by law or for legitimate business purposes as outlined above.

11 INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF WORKFORCE REPRESENTATIVE DATA

While we primarily process and store your personal data within the UK and European Economic Area

(EEA) when you use our Website or any website of ours that links to this privacy notice, we may in

the future need to transfer your personal data outside these regions to provide our services

effectively. Any such transfers will only be made in compliance with UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and Swiss

data protection laws, with appropriate safeguards in place. If this changes, we would comply with

applicable UK laws designed to ensure the continued protection and privacy of your personal data.

Any updated destinations to which we send your personal data, would be indicated in the present

section and notified to you in accordance with the section on ‘Change to this privacy policy’ below.

Furthermore, under UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and Swiss Federal Data Protection Act, we will only

transfer personal data outside the UK, EEA, or Switzerland where permitted by applicable data

protectionlawsand with appropriate safeguards in place. Any such transfers would only occur where:

the UK government has decided the particular country ensures an adequate level of protection of

personal data (known as an ‘adequacy regulation’) under Article 45 of the UK GDPR; there are

appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for

data subjects; or a specific exception applies under relevant data protection law. If international

transfers were to be implemented, they would only be done with prior notification to and approval

from the data controller. Accordingly, if we were to start transferring your personal data from the UK

to:

▪ The EEA: transfers would be conducted under the adequacy finding granted by the UK to

the EU under the Withdrawal Agreement; for any transfers from the EU to the UK, we would

rely on the adequacy regulation granted to the UK under the Adequacy Decision.

▪ For any transfers of personal data outside the UK/EEA, we will only process data in

compliance with appropriate safeguards under the UK GDPR and other applicable data

protection laws, which may include the relevant Standard Contractual Clauses or other

approved transfer mechanisms included in our data processing agreements

In the event we could not or choose not to continue to rely on either of those mechanisms at any

time we would not transfer your personal data outside the UK unless we could do so on the basis of

an alternative mechanism or exception provided by UK data protection law.
