Your Privacy Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have powerful rights over your personal data. Here's what they are and how to exercise them.

Our Commitment to You

We take your privacy seriously. Your handbook data is encrypted, stored in the UK/EU, and never used to train AI models. You can export or delete your data at any time.

Your 8 Data Protection Rights

Right to Access

You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We'll provide it within one month in a commonly used format.

How to exercise: Email us at support@bounda.co.uk with "Subject Access Request" in the subject line.

Right to Rectification

If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request we correct it.

How to exercise: Update most information directly in your account settings, or email us for other corrections.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten". You can request we delete your personal data in certain circumstances.

How to exercise: Delete your account in settings, or email us. Data is permanently removed within 30 days.

Right to Restriction

You can request we limit how we process your data while you contest its accuracy or object to processing.

How to exercise: Email us explaining why you want processing restricted. We'll respond within one month.

Right to Portability

You can receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format and transfer it to another service.

How to exercise: Export your handbook as Word or PDF, or PDF directly from the platform at any time.

Right to Object

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

How to exercise: Unsubscribe from marketing emails, or email us to object to other processing.

Rights About AI Decisions

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affect you.

Our approach: AI suggestions in Bounda are always recommendations — you decide what to accept or reject.

Withdraw Consent

Where we rely on consent (like marketing emails), you can withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.

How to exercise: Click "unsubscribe" in any email, or update your preferences in account settings.

How We Protect Your Data

Encryption

All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256).

UK/EU Hosting

Your data is stored in the UK and EU. No transfers to countries without adequate protection.

No AI Training

Your handbook content is never used to train AI models. Your data stays yours.
