1. Who is responsible for your data
Tax Pot UK is the “data controller” responsible for your personal data. This means we decide how and why your personal data is processed.
If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, you can contact us at privacy@taxpot.uk.
2. What data we collect
When you join our waitlist, we collect:
- Your first name— so we can address you personally;
- Your email address— so we can contact you about the waitlist and launch.
When you browse the website, we may also collect limited technical data automatically, such as your IP address and basic analytics about how the site is used. We use this to keep the service secure (for example, to prevent spam and abuse of the waitlist form) and to understand and improve our website.
3. How and why we use your data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
- To manage the waitlistand contact you about your place on it, product updates, and the launch of Tax Pot UK — our lawful basis is your consent, which you give when you join the waitlist.
- To keep our service secure, including rate-limiting and preventing abuse of our forms — our lawful basis is our legitimate interests in protecting our website and users.
- To comply with our legal obligations where the law requires us to retain or disclose information.
4. Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate the website and waitlist, acting as our data processors under appropriate agreements. These currently include:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers that run this website;
- Communication tools we use to receive and manage waitlist signups;
- Analytics and security services that help us understand usage and prevent abuse.
Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we take steps to ensure your data is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement or adequacy regulations.
5. How long we keep your data
We keep your waitlist details for as long as is necessary to operate the waitlist and to contact you about the launch. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data, we will remove it from our active records promptly, unless we are required to keep it to comply with a legal obligation.
6. Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:
- be informed about how your data is used;
- access a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
- request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
- request that we erase your data (the “right to be forgotten”);
- restrict or object to our processing of your data;
- request the transfer of your data (data portability);
- withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@taxpot.uk. You will not usually have to pay a fee, and we will respond within one month.
7. Marketing emails
We will only send you marketing emails (such as launch announcements and product updates) where you have consented by joining the waitlist. You can opt out at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email or by contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it.
8. Cookies
We aim to keep cookies to a minimum. We only use cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function and, where required, any analytics cookies for which we have your consent. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
9. How we protect your data
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep your personal data secure and to prevent unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. While no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
10. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, please contact us first so we can try to put things right. 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.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
