Privacy Policy

Who are we and what is the purpose of this privacy policy?

Praesagia is a Northern Ireland-based business with its office at 92 Castle Street, Belfast, BT1 1HE.

We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) under registration number ZC183786. We are not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer; any questions about this policy or our handling of your personal data can be sent to contact@praesagia.com.

Our data processing is done in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

This privacy policy will explain how we use the personal information we collect from you when you use our website or our platforms. It also sets out your legal rights.

The type of personal information we collect

The personal information we collect includes:

  • Personal details (e.g. your name and title).
  • Contact details (e.g. phone number, email address, postal address or mobile number).
  • Profile information, if you set up an account with us, such as passwords and login details.
  • Any other information that you provide about yourself or others when you use our platforms.
  • Any feedback or background information you provide in connection with the services we offer.

We do not routinely collect special category data. If such data is provided voluntarily, we will only process it where permitted by Article 9 UK GDPR, such as with your explicit consent or where required by law.

Our services are intended for adults. Where a service is provided to a person under 18, the account must be held, and information provided, by a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly market to children.

How we get your personal information and why we collect it

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you through our website or platforms. For example, when you:

  • Contact us, register for an account, or place an order for any of our products or services.
  • Voluntarily complete a customer survey or provide feedback.
  • When you visit our website, we automatically collect your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and log/diagnostic data.

Where you need to provide certain key information, this will be marked as “mandatory” and if you do not provide this it may mean that you are unable to use our services.

We also receive personal information indirectly from other sources, which may include payment providers, service providers, business partners or publicly available information.

How we use your information

We use the information that you have given us to:

  • Provide you with access to our services, such as our platforms.
  • Deal with enquiries, requests and complaints received from you.
  • Provide you with ongoing customer assistance and technical support.
  • Where you are an existing customer, we may send you marketing about similar products and services unless you opt out – you can do so at any time. For all other marketing we rely on your consent. Marketing communications are sent in accordance with applicable electronic marketing laws, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).
  • Keep you informed and obtain your views of our activities.
  • Support our business purposes, including data analysis, and improve our services.
  • Comply with legal obligations to which we are subject and cooperate with regulators and law enforcement bodies.

We may share this information with trusted service providers such as hosting, infrastructure, and database providers (Vercel Inc. and Supabase Inc.), payment processors (Stripe Inc.), and regulators or law enforcement where required by law. Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, they act as processors under Article 28 UK GDPR and may only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions and applicable law. Where our US processors are certified under the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (the ‘UK-US Data Bridge’), we rely on that; otherwise, we use the IDTA or the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs.

The lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:

  • Your consent, for example to send you newsletters and other communications. You can remove your consent at any time by:
    • Clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any marketing email
    • Emailing contact@praesagia.com with ‘Unsubscribe’ in the subject line
    • Managing your preferences in your account settings
  • We have a contractual obligation to provide services to you.
  • We have a legal obligation.
  • We have a legitimate interest, such as improving our services, maintaining security, preventing fraud, responding to customer enquiries and managing our business operations. We have balanced this against your privacy rights by anonymising data where possible and limiting access to authorised personnel only.

The main purposes for which we process personal data, and the lawful bases we rely on, are:

How we store your personal information

Your information is securely stored in the United Kingdom and the United States.

For international data transfers:

  • UK to EU/EEA: we rely on the UK adequacy regulations.
  • Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including where applicable UK adequacy regulations, approved contractual safeguards such as the IDTA or UK Addendum to EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data, including encryption, access controls, regular security assessments, and staff training.

We will only retain your data for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes listed above. Your data in respect of financial transactions will be retained for at least 7 years to comply with regulatory requirements. Account data is retained while your account is active and for 12 months after closure to facilitate reactivation, unless you request earlier deletion by exercising your right to erasure. Support enquiries and analytics data shall be kept for 24 months. Once these periods have expired, we will delete your data, unless legally required to retain it. We regularly review the personal information we hold and delete or anonymise it when we no longer need it. We do not engage in automated decision-making/profiling.

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay as required by law.

Your data protection rights

Under data protection law, you have rights including:

  • Your right of access – You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.
  • Your right to rectification – You have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.
  • Your right to erasure – You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances.
  • Your right to restriction of processing – You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
  • Your right to object to processing – You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
  • Your right to data portability – You have the right to ask that we transfer the personal information you gave us to another organisation, or to you, in certain circumstances – this right applies where our processing is based on your consent or on a contract with you and is carried out by automated means.
  • Your right to withdraw consent – Where we rely on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it.

You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights. If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. This may be extended by up to two months for complex or numerous requests.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at: contact@praesagia.com or write to us at: Praesagia, Office 1614, 92 Castle Street, Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, BT1 1HE.
