Privacy Policy
Last updated: 4 September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Tech For You (“we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our platform and services available through our website.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following information when you use our services:
- Name and contact details (such as email address)
- Account login information
- Business information you provide
- Ingredients, product data, and allergen information entered into the system
- Technical data such as IP address, browser type, and device information
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain our services
- Generate allergen labels and compliance documentation
- Manage user accounts
- Improve our software and platform performance
- Communicate important updates or service information
- Maintain security and prevent fraud
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Where required by UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases for processing your data: contractual necessity (to provide our services), legitimate interests (to improve and secure the platform), and legal obligations where applicable.
4. Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. Data may be stored on secure servers and access is restricted to authorised personnel only.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited information with trusted service providers when necessary to operate our services, such as:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers
- Email delivery services
- Security and analytics tools
Product data handling
- Browser drafts
- Some record and label forms keep a convenience draft in this browser so an interrupted entry can be restored. Drafts are scoped to the signed-in user, business, location and login session; they expire after seven days. Signing out clears Check & Chop drafts from that browser. A browser draft is not a submitted record or approval.
- AI ingredient suggestions
- AI assistance is optional. When you choose it, the ingredient text you entered is sent to the currently configured AI service provider (the application currently uses Groq’s compatible API) to return drafting suggestions. The request instructs the model not to claim compliance. Check & Chop does not submit other saved kitchen records in that request. Provider processing and retention are governed by our provider arrangements; contact us if you need the current details before using the feature.
- Saved records and exports
- Submitted kitchen records, labels, authors and timestamps are stored on the service so authorised members of the business can review evidence. Available tools can prepare label output and EHO evidence reports. To request a broader copy, correction or deletion, contact us; we may need to retain some information where required for legal, security or dispute purposes.
- Subscription changes
- Subscription billing is handled through Stripe. The application stores billing references and synchronised subscription status rather than full card details. If auto-renewal is cancelled, access continues to the current paid period end shown in the billing area. Account-data deletion is a separate request.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legal or regulatory obligations.
7. Your Rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Restrict or object to certain processing
- Request a copy of your data
8. Cookies
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality, maintain login sessions, and analyse usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
9. Third‑Party Links
Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third‑party websites.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, the updated date at the top of this page will be revised.
