Sanvord Ltd (“Sanvord”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting personal data and respecting privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data when individuals and organisations use our services, platforms, and products (collectively, the “Services”).
This Policy is intended to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), the Data Protection Act 2018, and other applicable data protection laws.

Sanvord Ltd is the data controller for personal data processed in connection with the Services, as defined under UK GDPR.
- Legal Entity: Sanvord Ltd
- Registered in: England and Wales

Where applicable, Sanvord may act as a data processor on behalf of customers in accordance with contractual arrangements.
2. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal data processed in connection with:
- Use of Sanvord’s Services
- Customer accounts, subscriptions, and billing
- Communications, support, and customer relationships
The specific data processed may vary depending on the service used and customer configuration.
This Policy does not apply to third-party services independently operated by external providers, except where their outputs are processed as part of the Services.
3. Personal Data We Collect
We collect and process only the personal data that is necessary to provide the Services, manage customer relationships, process payments, and comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
3.1 Data Provided by Customers
Depending on the Services used, we may collect:
- Contact information (such as name, business name, and email address)
- Account and authentication details
- Billing, payment, and subscription information
- Communications and support requests
3.2 Service-Related Data
In order to deliver the Services, we may process data submitted by customers or generated through use of the Services.
This data is limited to what is reasonably required to perform the requested service.
Where such data includes personal data, it is processed solely for the purpose of providing the Services and in accordance with UK GDPR principles.
3.3 Automatically Collected Data
We may automatically collect limited information relating to use of the Services, including:
- Log and usage data
- Timestamps and activity records
- Performance and diagnostic information
This data is used for security, auditing, abuse prevention, service operation, and improvement.
4. Data We Do Not Intentionally Collect
Our Services are designed to minimise data collection and are not intended to collect:
- Authentication secrets or passwords
- Private content not intended to be processed by the Services
- Personal data unrelated to the provision of the Services
If personal data outside the scope of the Services is inadvertently collected, it will be deleted or anonymised as soon as reasonably practicable, unless retention is required by law.
5. How We Use Personal Data
We process personal data to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Services
- Authenticate users and manage accounts
- Process payments and subscriptions
- Provide customer support
- Monitor performance, security, and abuse
- Improve reliability and functionality
- Comply with legal and regulatory obligations
We do not sell personal data.
We do not use customer data or service outputs to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models without explicit customer consent.
6. Lawful Bases for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we process personal data on the following lawful bases:
- Performance of a contract – to provide the Services
- Legitimate interests – to secure, monitor, and improve the Services
- Legal obligations – to comply with applicable laws
Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn at any time.
7. Data Storage and Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it is processed, including service delivery, contractual obligations, and legal requirements.
Retention periods are determined based on:
· The nature of the service provided
· The purpose for which the data is processed
· Whether the data is required to maintain or support an active customer relationship
· Legal, regulatory, or contractual retention obligations
· The need to resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or maintain security and audit records
Service-related data is reviewed periodically and deleted or anonymised when it is no longer required for the provision of the Services or for the purposes outlined above.
Upon delivery of service outputs, customers become independently responsible for any further retention or processing of such outputs.
8. Data Sharing
We may share personal data:
- With trusted service providers acting on our behalf, such as hosting providers, monitoring services, email delivery services, and payment processors
- Where required by law, regulation, or legal process
We do not share personal data for advertising or marketing purposes.
9. International Data Transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, such transfers are made in compliance with UK GDPR requirements, including the use of:
- The UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), or
- Other approved safeguards recognised under UK data protection law
10. Security Measures
Sanvord implements appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data while under our control.
However, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Customer Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for:
- Ensuring they have lawful authority to submit data for processing
- Complying with applicable data protection laws
- Securing service outputs and exported data once delivered
Customers act as independent controllers for any further processing of service outputs after delivery.

- Access their personal data
- Request correction or deletion
- Object to or restrict processing
- Request data portability
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

These processes do not constitute automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects under UK GDPR.

Our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18.
We do not knowingly process children’s personal data.
