Where UK GDPR / EU GDPR applies, we rely on:

Consent: for certain cookies/marketing where required
Legal obligation: to comply with laws, tax/accounting rules, and lawful requests
5) Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
Essential site functionality and security

Where required (e.g., UK/EU), we ask for consent for non-essential cookies. You can manage cookies via our Cookie Settings (insert link/location) or your browser settings.
6) How we share personal information
We share personal information only as needed:
Service providers (processors): hosting, analytics, customer support, email delivery, CRM, payment processing, and security tools (bound by contractual confidentiality and data protection terms)
Business transfers: if we’re involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets
Legal and safety: to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights, prevent fraud/abuse, and enforce agreements
With your direction: when you choose to connect integrations or request us to share information
We do not “sell” personal information in the ordinary sense. If we ever engage in activities considered “sale” or “sharing” under certain U.S. state laws (e.g., cross-context behavioural advertising), we will provide the required opt-out mechanism.
7) International data transfers
If you access the Services from the UK/EU/EEA, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your region. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions and/or Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK addendum where relevant), plus additional security measures.
8) Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for:
The purposes described in this policy
Contract performance and account administration
Legal, tax, accounting, and compliance obligations
Security, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution
Retention periods depend on the type of data and how it’s used. You can request deletion as described below.
9) Security
We use administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse.
10) Your rights

You may have the right to:
Access your data

11) Customer Data (business users)
If your organisation uploads or submits information into Kabaido as part of using the Services (e.g., RFQs, customer contacts, specifications) (“Customer Data”), your organisation may be the controller and Kabaido may act as a processor/service provider for that Customer Data. In that case:
We process Customer Data to provide the Services under our customer agreement
Your organisation is responsible for providing required notices and obtaining permissions from its end users/customers
