Last updated: 15/04/2024

❓ What is this notice all about?

We want to be completely transparent about how we collect and use your personal data and this privacy notice exists to tell you exactly how we do this.

This notice applies wherever we decide why and how we process personal data (and therefore act as a Data Controller under data protection law). It covers the personal data we process when you use our services.

Our privacy notice tells you the journey of your personal data from the moment it enters our systems up until it's time for us to say "goodbye 👋", as well as the various stops it makes along the way.

👇 The different ways we process personal data

When you set up a Graphy account
🗂️ What personal data do we collect, why do we collect it, and what legal basis do we rely on?
💡
Personal data is anything that can identify an individual, either on its own or through combining it with other factors that could eventually identify an individual.

When you first set up a Graphy account, we need some information about you to create and manage your account. We'll ask for your work email address, job title, company name, company size, financial details and some information about which types of reports you are interested in generating using Graphy products. The legal basis we rely on for this is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR - Contract.

During your onboarding, we may also invite you to a video call where we will confirm your account details. Calls are recorded for training and reference purposes. The legal basis we rely on for this is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR - Legitimate Interest.

To keep in touch with you, we will use your name and email to provide you with account updates and relevant communications, and also to invite you to join our customer community. The legal basis we rely on for this is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR - Legitimate Interest.

To allow you to embed your graph and save your work, or to take advantage of our AI options and features, you would need to be logged in to your account. If you choose not to generate an embed code, you won’t need to be logged in to an account. For this processing we rely on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR - Legitimate Interest.

🗺️ Where do we store it?

To deliver our service, we process and store data using cloud-based applications.

We use survey and automated workflow tools to collect your onboarding information and get you set up quickly.

We use standard applications to process data, such as email, word processing and other office cloud-based software alongside a Customer Relationship Management platform (CRM) and communication services.

We collect payment for our service via a finance platform.

If we ever need to speak with you via video call, we make use of an online booking system and a video call platform. We may use call recording and note taking software which we make use of for training and reference purposes.

Most of the data we process is stored in the EEA, including our platform servers. If any data is transferred to a third country such as the US, we make use of Standard Contractual Clauses, along with the UK Addendum where necessary, to secure the transfer of the data.

If you opt to make use of the AI features on the platform, your data may be processed in the US by Open AI and this transfer is secured by the use of Standard Contractual Clauses, along with the UK Addendum. Open AI will not use your data for model training purposes.

⏲️ How long do we keep it for?

We will retain your personal data while you are a customer of Graphy and for up to 3 months after you leave, in line with our business needs.

We keep financial data for a minimum of 6 years, in line with UK law.
