Privacy policy
1. Who is responsible
Name the controller, its registered address, and a contact point for privacy questions. If you have appointed a data protection officer or an EU/UK representative, name them here too.
2. What is collected
Work from a genuine inventory. Typically it covers:
- Account data — email address, subscription tier, term dates.
- Payment data — usually held by the processor, not by you. Say which.
- Technical data — IP address, device type, app version, session logs.
- Viewing data — what was watched and when, if you record it at all.
- Support correspondence, including messages sent over WhatsApp.
3. Why, and on what lawful basis
Each purpose needs its own stated basis — contract, legitimate interests, consent or legal obligation. Where you rely on legitimate interests, record the balancing test that justifies it.
4. How long it is kept
Give real retention periods per category, not “as long as necessary”. Note what is deleted when a subscription ends and what is retained for accounting or fraud purposes.
5. Who it is shared with
List the categories of recipient — payment processor, hosting and CDN providers, email and messaging platforms, analytics. Note that WhatsApp support means correspondence passes through Meta’s infrastructure, which is a disclosure customers should see.
6. International transfers
If personal data leaves the UK or EEA, state where it goes and the safeguard relied on — adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses or the UK addendum.
7. Your rights
- Access, rectification and erasure.
- Restriction and objection, including to any profiling.
- Portability of the data you provided.
- Withdrawal of consent where consent is the basis.
- Complaint to a supervisory authority — name the relevant one.
State how a request is made and your response deadline.
8. Security
Describe the measures you genuinely operate: encryption in transit, access control, breach procedures. Do not list controls you have not implemented — a claim here is one you have to stand behind.
9. Cookies
Covered separately on the cookies page.
10. Changes
How updates are notified, and the effective date of this version.
