Privacy Policy (UK)
Last updated: [DD Month YYYY]
Who we are: [Company Legal Name], trading as [Product/Brand, e.g.,
“AttributionOS”] (“we”, “us”, “our”). Registered address: [Address]. ICO
registration no.: [if available]. Contact: [privacy@yourdomain].
This policy explains how we handle personal data when you: (a) visit our websites and marketing pages, (b)
create an account and use our SaaS platform and dashboard, and (c) interact with our support or sales teams.
It covers the product described in your PRD.
1) Our role
- Controller: We act as a controller for data about our customers and users of
the platform (e.g., account, billing, usage, support).
- Processor: We act as a processor for our customers when we process their
end-user/event data solely to provide the analytics services. A Data Processing Addendum (DPA) is
available on request.
2) Personal data we collect
- Account & Billing: name, email, company, role, authentication data, subscription
plan, invoices and payment status (payments handled by [Stripe/…], we do not store full
card details).
- Product & Event Data (processor): campaign and attribution signals (e.g., UTM
parameters, ad click IDs such as
gclid
/fbclid
), device and network metadata
(IP address, user-agent, referrer), in-app/website events you choose to track (installs, conversions,
revenue events), and identifiers you send (e.g., hashed user ID). We instruct customers
not to send special category data.
- Logs & Telemetry: service logs, diagnostics, security logs.
- Support & Sales: messages, call notes, and attachments you share with us.
- Cookies/SDK-less tracking on our sites: see Cookies & similar
technologies below.
3) Purposes & lawful bases
- Provide and secure the service (create your account, serve dashboards, prevent abuse) —
Contract.
- Billing, tax, and records — Contract / Legal obligation.
- Product improvement, troubleshooting, and analytics — Legitimate interests (we
balance these against your rights).
- Marketing (emails/ads) on our own sites — Consent where required; you can
withdraw at any time.
- Cookies & similar tech — Consent for non-essential cookies; essential
cookies run without consent. ICO guidance requires clear information and prior consent for non-essential
cookies under PECR. (ICO)
4) Cookies & similar technologies
We use:
- Essential cookies for core site and security (no consent required).
- Analytics/Performance and Advertising cookies only with your consent
via our banner/preferences center. You can change or withdraw consent at any time. This flows from PECR
and ICO guidance on cookies and consent. (ICO)
5) Sharing your data
- Service providers/sub-processors under contract (e.g., cloud hosting, databases,
logging/monitoring, email delivery, payment processing, customer support tools).
- Professional advisors (legal, accounting), law enforcement when
required by law, and corporate transaction counterparties (if we sell/merge assets). We
maintain a current list of sub-processors at [URL] and require appropriate safeguards
and confidentiality.
6) International transfers
If we transfer UK personal data outside the UK (e.g., to the US or other countries), we use legal transfer
tools such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK
Addendum to the EU SCCs, and perform transfer risk assessments where needed. (ICO)
7) Data retention
- Customer/account data: kept while your account is active and for up to [6
years] afterward for tax, accounting, and dispute purposes.
- Event data (processor): default retention [e.g., 24 months]
(configurable by the customer).
- Logs: [e.g., 90–180 days] unless extended for security investigations.
We delete or anonymise data after these periods unless we must keep it longer by law.
8) Security
We apply technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls,
least-privilege permissions, environment isolation, continuous monitoring, and employee training. Customers
are responsible for securing their own credentials, API keys, and data sent into the platform.
9) Your rights (UK GDPR)
Subject to conditions and exemptions, you have the right to: be informed; access; rectify; erase;
restrict; object; data portability; and, where processing is based on consent, withdraw
consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to the ICO (see
contact below). (ICO, GOV.UK)
How to exercise your rights: email [privacy@yourdomain]. We will
respond within one month and may request verification of identity.
10) Children
Our services are not directed to children and are intended for business users. In the UK,
children under 13 cannot consent to online services; parental consent would be required. We
do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided data to us,
contact [privacy@yourdomain] to request deletion. (ICO, WSGR Data Advisor)
11) Automated decision-making
We do not make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects solely by automated means. If this
changes, we will explain the logic involved and your rights related to such processing.
12) When we act as a processor
When customers send us end-user/event data, we process it only under their instructions, to
provide the analytics service, troubleshoot, and maintain security. Customers are responsible for providing
their own privacy notices to end users and establishing a lawful basis (e.g., consent for non-essential
cookies/tags, or other lawful bases for server-side events). We offer a DPA that includes
data-security terms, confidentiality, sub-processor controls, international transfer mechanisms, and
deletion on termination.
13) Third-party links
Our sites and dashboards may contain links to third-party sites. Their privacy practices are their own;
review their policies before providing data.
14) Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, guidance, or our services. We’ll post updates here and
change the “Last updated” date. Where appropriate, we’ll notify you by email or in-app.
15) Contact & UK complaints
- Email: [privacy@yourdomain]
- Mail: [Company Legal Name, Address]
- ICO: You can raise a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). See
“UK GDPR guidance and resources / Right to be informed and individual rights” on the ICO site for how to
do this. (ICO)
Cookie Notice (UK summary for your banner/preferences center)
- Essential cookies: required for security, load-balancing, and user login.
- Analytics cookies (consent): help us measure visits, feature usage, and performance.
- Advertising cookies (consent): used to measure ad performance and build audiences. Set
or change your preferences anytime via [“Cookie Settings” link]. Non-essential cookies
are off unless you opt in, as required by PECR and ICO guidance. (ICO)
Implementation notes for your PRD:
- Add a
/privacy
page containing the policy above.
- Add a
/cookies
page with your cookie table (name, provider, purpose, expiry, type) and
a link to reopen the preferences center.
- Ensure your consent banner blocks non-essential cookies until “Accept” (and offers “Reject” &
“Manage options”). ICO stresses clear, granular choices and prior consent for non-essential cookies.
