We do not sell your personal data.
Who we share data with
- Hosting and cloud providers that run the website and assistant on our behalf, including Amazon Web Services.
- Affiliate networks and retailers, when you click through to a retailer, so the sale can be tracked.
- Professional advisers and authorities where required by law.
Some providers may process data outside the UK or European Economic Area. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep data
We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above. Technical logs are typically kept for a limited period for security purposes; enquiries are kept for as long as needed to deal with them.

Under UK and EU data protection law you have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and to data portability. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. To exercise your rights, email buyafide@gmail.com.
You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority: the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK, or the Data Protection Commission in Ireland.
