  • Business data — services, staff, schedules, and bookings you create on the platform.
  • Customer data — names, phone numbers, and email addresses of your clients submitted through booking pages.
  • Payment information — billing details processed securely via Stripe. We do not store card numbers on our servers.
  • Usage data — pages visited, features used, browser type, and IP address collected via standard web analytics.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the UK GDPR, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests — to improve our product and prevent fraud.
  • Legal obligation — to comply with applicable UK laws and regulations.
  • Consent — for marketing communications, where you have opted in.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf:

  • Supabase — database and authentication hosting.

  • Vercel — application hosting and edge network.

Each provider is bound by data processing agreements and operates under appropriate safeguards.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active and for up to 7 years after account closure to comply with UK tax and accounting regulations. Booking and customer data may be retained for up to 3 years. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Your Rights below).

7. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure — request deletion of your data where there is no compelling reason to continue processing.
  • Restriction — request we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances.
  • Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@scudosystems.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and understand how the platform is used. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

9. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure; however, we strive to protect your data using commercially acceptable means.

10. International Transfers

Our service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or via a notice on the platform. Continued use of ScudoSystems after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
