Some of our providers process data outside the UK and EEA. Where that happens we rely on an adequacy decision or on Standard Contractual Clauses together with appropriate additional safeguards.

How long we keep it

We keep account and business data for as long as your account is active and for up to 12 months afterwards, so you can reactivate. Billing and tax records are kept for 6 years as required by law. Logs are kept for up to 12 months. After these periods data is deleted or anonymised.

You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it. Contact privacy@businessrunai.com and we will respond within one month. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
