What we collect
- Account / application data you submit (name, work email, organisation, seat intent) when you apply or subscribe.
- Billing correspondence needed for bank-transfer application payments (card data is not processed on this site).
- Technical logs ordinary for hosting (IP, user agent, request path) to keep the service secure and available.
- Cookies / similar storage as described in the cookie notice. Non-essential analytics run only after you opt in via PlainConsent.
Why we use it
To provide the professional reference service, manage seats, respond to applications, send operational mail you request, and meet legal obligations. Lawful bases typically include contract, legitimate interests (security, product improvement without profiling for ads), and consent where required for non-essential cookies.
Sharing
We do not sell personal data. Processors may include our hosting provider, email delivery if configured, and banks for payment settlement. Server-side research tools used for the service are not a substitute for your consent choices on this site.
Retention
Application and account records are kept while needed for the service and ordinary limitation periods. Server logs are rotated. Consent choices stay in your browser until you clear them or change them under Cookie settings.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR / GDPR you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection where applicable, and you may withdraw cookie consent at any time via Cookie settings. You may complain to the ICO (UK) or your local supervisory authority.
