5. Lawful bases for processing
We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so.
5.1 Contract
We process data where it is necessary to provide the service you have requested, such as account creation, project management, and storing snagging information.

6. Sharing your data
We may share personal data with trusted third parties where necessary to run the service, including:

- Analytics and monitoring tools.

We only share the minimum data needed for the relevant purpose and take steps to require appropriate data protection safeguards from service providers.
6.1 Sharing with contractors and developers
Where you choose to send snagging information to developers, contractors, or other third parties through the Service, we will process and transmit that information on your instructions. Those third parties may process the information in their own capacity and should provide their own privacy information where required.
7. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we will use appropriate safeguards required by UK data protection law, such as approved transfer mechanisms or equivalent protections.
8. How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.
In general:
- Account data is kept while your account is active and for a limited period afterwards.
- Snagging and project data is kept while the account remains active and deleted within 90 days after account termination, unless we must keep it for legal or legitimate business record-keeping purposes.
- Support correspondence is kept for as long as needed to resolve the issue and for a reasonable period afterwards.
- Technical logs are kept for security, performance, and troubleshooting purposes for a limited period.

- Access your personal data.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Request deletion of your data.
- Restrict or object to certain processing.

10. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, encryption, secure hosting, logging, and regular monitoring.
No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we work to reduce risk and respond promptly to incidents.

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep you signed in.

In those cases:
- You are responsible for having a lawful basis to share that data with us.
- You are responsible for telling those people, where required, how their data will be used.
- We process that data on your instructions and in line with our Terms and any applicable data processing terms.
