Consented analytics identifiers and campaign details may be held with Stripe order metadata to preserve attribution through checkout. See our Cookie Policy.

5. Who We Share Data With
- Lovable (Lovable Labs) and Supabase Inc.: website hosting, database, sign-in, file storage and server functions (Lovable Cloud runs on Supabase infrastructure).
- Stripe: card payment processing for bookings and digital products. Stripe is also an independent controller for some data it needs for fraud prevention and its legal obligations.

- WhatsApp (Meta): only if you choose to contact us through WhatsApp; your messages are then handled under WhatsApp's own terms.

- Our accountants, professional advisers, and authorities where the law requires.
We do not sell your personal data.
6. International Transfers
Some of these providers (including Lovable, Supabase, Stripe, Uplisting, our email providers, Google and Meta) may process data outside the UK, including in the EU and the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK we rely on the safeguards offered by the provider, such as UK adequacy regulations (including the UK–US Data Bridge where the provider is certified) or the ICO's International Data Transfer Agreement / UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. You can ask us for more information about the safeguard used for a particular provider.
