Privacy Policy
Who we are
Explain my Contract is operated by an individual (the "data controller" under UK GDPR) and can be contacted at explainmycontract@outlook.com. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What we collect
When you submit a contract to Explain my Contract, we collect the document you send us, your email address, and any details you provide about what you would like explained.
Our lawful basis for processing
We process your information on the basis of your consent, given when you submit your contract and details to us and, where applicable, agree to this policy. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us, though this will not affect any processing already carried out.
How we use it
Your document and information are used solely to review your contract and provide you with an explanation. We do not use your document for any other purpose, and we do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties.
Confidentiality
Your document is treated as strictly confidential. It is only accessed by the person reviewing it and is not disclosed to anyone else.
Storage and retention
Documents and correspondence are kept only for as long as needed to complete your request and respond to any follow-up questions, after which they are securely deleted. We do not retain your data for longer than is necessary for these purposes.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the right to:
Access the personal data we hold about you
Have inaccurate data corrected
Request that your data be deleted ("the right to be forgotten")
Restrict or object to how your data is processed
Withdraw consent at any time
To exercise any of these rights, email explainmycontract@outlook.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk.
Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. Your data is not transferred outside the UK.
Not legal advice
Explain my Contract is a plain-English explanation service and does not constitute formal legal advice. For advice on a legal matter, please consult a qualified solicitor.
